# Ondalume

> Ondalume (pronounced ahn-dah-LOOM) is a live-lyrics app for music playing out loud. Put on a vinyl record, a cassette, a CD, the radio, or any other audio, tap Listen, and Ondalume identifies the song from the microphone, then highlights each lyric line in real time as it is sung. It is made for physical media and other sources that have no lyrics screen of their own. Free, no account, no ads, and audio is never recorded.
