Read lyrics in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Paste a song. Glossd detects the language and annotates every line with pinyin, furigana, and romanized readings, right in your browser.

How it works

Three steps to singing along

From paste to pronunciation in seconds. All of it happens on your device.

Paste your lyrics

Drop in a chorus, a verse, or a whole track.

Language, detected

Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, detected from the text itself.

Read every line, annotated

Every word carries its reading.

Nothing leaves your browser. Glossd is 100% client-side: no servers, no uploads, no account, no cost.
