Kanto Syncro

What Kanto Syncro is

Kanto Syncro is desktop software for synchronizing lyrics with songs and producing MP3 karaoke or video karaoke files on macOS and Windows. Lyrics can be imported from a text file or pasted into the editor. Timing is set word by word, with preview, undo for timing marks, and playback speed controls. Windows accepts MP3, MID, and KAR audio files and exports MP3, MP4, or AVI karaoke. Mac exports video karaoke as MP4, MPG, or AVI, and includes a scrolling mode that keeps the current line centered. Video projects can use customized lyric fonts, colors, and a background image. The maker says files can play in Kanto Karaoke Player, QuickTime, QMidi, Winlive, Karaoke 5, and other karaoke players. Each version costs $49.95, paid once, with a three-year license for two PCs and unlimited conversions. Updates are free for three years. A trial saves only the first 60 seconds.

Who it suits

Kanto Syncro suits desktop users creating synchronized karaoke tracks or videos. It is intended for Windows and Mac users who need word-level timing and adjustable video presentation.
