Shazam LyricPlay, made possible via Shazam's acquisition of synchronized lyric technology from Tunezee, adds another level of discovery to the Encore premium version [iTunes link] of the iOS app.
You can now tag a song, and the option to check out lyrics will pop up. Just click on "lyrics," turn your phone to the side, and the lyrics will scroll in time to the song. The real-time scrolling feature doesn't work for all songs, sadly.
The lyrics library includes more than 25,000 songs, which means that you'll be able to sing along more accurately -- but no less off-key -- to even more of your favorite jams. It's like mini karaoke for your pocket, without all the weird videos featuring cows and nonsensical stories about gangsters.
Competitor SoundHound's free app [iTunes link] already has lyrics, but they don't scroll in relation to the song.
