About SongTyping
What is SongTyping?
SongTyping is a free lyrics typing game and typing practice app that lets you improve your typing speed and accuracy by typing along to the lyrics of your favorite songs. Choose a song, start typing, and watch your words per minute climb.
Our mission
Most typing trainers ask you to copy out dull sample paragraphs. We think practice sticks better when it's fun. SongTyping turns something you already enjoy (listening to music) into deliberate typing practice. The rhythm of a song gives you a natural pace to type to, familiar lyrics keep you engaged for longer sessions, and the synced video keeps your eyes on the screen instead of the keyboard. Our goal is simple: help people build real, lasting typing speed and accuracy without it feeling like a chore.
Who's behind it
SongTyping is an independent project, not affiliated with any record label, artist, or lyrics provider. The practice experience, game mechanics, statistics, and the written guides on our blog are all our own work; the songs are gathered from public sources. If you have feedback, a bug report, or a song you'd love to see added, we genuinely want to hear it, so get in touch.
Where our lyrics come from
The lyrics you type are sourced from public third-party services such as Genius, LRClib, and YouTube captions, and remain the property of their respective owners. We display them for personal, non-commercial typing practice only and attribute the source on each song. If you're a rights holder and want content removed, see our Copyright & DMCA policy.
