Versewright
Turn a melody into lyrics.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Hum a melody and get lyric lines whose stresses land on the beat. Tune by genre, drag notes to edit, or check your own lyrics. Built for songwriters.
Versewright turns a melody into lyrics that sing. Hum a tune, drop in a MIDI file, or start from a demo, and Versewright finds where the strong beats fall, then writes lyric lines whose stressed syllables land right on those beats.
What sets Versewright apart is its prosody engine: every line is checked against the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, so the stresses are real, not guessed. It doesn't just rhyme, it makes words sit correctly on the music so they are actually singable.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Hum a melody and Versewright hears the notes and the rhythm
• See the scansion: the strong and weak beat pattern of your tune
• Generate lyric lines that land on the beat, tuned by genre and mood
• Drag any note to fix its timing or pitch, right on the beat grid
• Check your own lyrics: paste a line and see, syllable by syllable, where your stresses fit or fight the melody
• Play back the melody it heard
