Specterr is a web-based music visualizer: you type or paste your lyrics, set their timestamps in its lyric editor and add a visualizer that reacts to your audio over an image or video background. LYRC (pronounced “lyric”) transcribes a 15–30 second snippet for you, places cuts on the beat and fills the video with stock clips or your own footage. LYRC saves the snippet as a template by itself, so the next video of that song takes a few clicks.
