SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LYRICS ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135974 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LYRICS ALIGNMENT
The method described in the patent application involves aligning lyrics text with audio for a media item by generating embeddings for symbols in the lyrics text and an acoustic representation of the audio, determining similarities between these embeddings, and aligning the text and audio based on these similarities.
- The method involves obtaining lyrics text and audio for a media item.
- Embeddings representing symbols in the lyrics text are generated using a first encoder.
- Embeddings representing an acoustic representation of the audio are generated using a second encoder.
- Similarities between the embeddings of symbols and acoustic representations are determined.
- The lyrics text and audio are aligned based on these similarities.
- While streaming the audio, the aligned lyrics text is provided for display.
Potential Applications: - Music streaming platforms could use this technology to display synchronized lyrics with songs. - Karaoke applications could benefit from accurate alignment of lyrics with music. - Language learning tools could use this method to provide synchronized text and audio for educational purposes.
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate alignment of lyrics text with audio for a seamless user experience. - Improves the synchronization of text and audio in media content.
Benefits: - Enhanced user engagement with media content. - Improved accessibility for individuals who benefit from synchronized text and audio. - Higher quality karaoke experiences with accurate lyric display.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Media Experience Technology" This technology could be utilized in music streaming services, karaoke applications, language learning platforms, and educational tools. It has the potential to enhance user engagement and improve the overall user experience in various media-related applications.
Prior Art: No specific information on prior art related to this technology is provided in the abstract.

Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes obtaining lyrics text and audio for a media item and generating, using a first encoder, a first plurality of embeddings representing symbols that appear in the lyrics text for the media item. the method includes generating, using a second encoder, a second plurality of embeddings representing an acoustic representation of the audio for the media item. the method includes determining respective similarities between embeddings of the first plurality of embeddings and embeddings of the second plurality of embeddings and aligning the lyrics text and the audio for the media item based on the respective similarities. the method includes, while streaming the audio for the media item, providing, for display, the aligned lyrics text with the streamed audio.
