About LyricSync

A free educational tool for world language classrooms

What It Does

LyricSync is a classroom tool for Spanish language teachers. Teachers play a YouTube video on the projector while students on their Chromebooks see the transcript or lyrics with certain words replaced by blank fields. Students type the missing words in real time as the video plays, building vocabulary and listening comprehension through authentic media.

Educational Purpose
  • Listening comprehension with authentic audio and video
  • Vocabulary practice in context through fill-in-the-blank transcript activities
  • Reading along with synced captions and transcripts
  • Formative assessment through live teacher dashboard

Aligned with ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. Supports novice through intermediate Spanish proficiency development.

For Students & Parents

Students join by scanning a QR code or entering a room code — no account, no app, and no personal information required. The site does not collect student data. Students only need a web browser and an internet connection.

Built By
Jarred Melton
High School Spanish Teacher

LyricSync was born out of frustration. The most powerful tool for language acquisition — authentic music, film, and media in the target language — has always been locked behind paywalls, buried in ads, or stripped of the context that makes it meaningful in the first place.

I built LyricSync because I believe language learning should feel like an experience, not a worksheet. When students encounter Spanish through a song they actually like — pausing to wrestle with a word, hearing it in context, connecting it to something real — that's when acquisition happens. That's the moment this tool is designed to create.

My vision is a classroom where the teacher isn't just an instructor but a guide into an immersive world — where the target language isn't a subject to be studied but a living thing students can touch, hear, and feel. LyricSync is my small contribution toward that classroom.

LyricSync is currently free for all educators. It does not display advertisements or collect student data.
