Get Timestamped Lyrics API FAQ
What data is included in the timestamped lyrics response?
The response includes word-level timestamps in the aligned_words array (each with start/end times in seconds), waveform_data for audio visualization, hoot_cer alignment accuracy score, line-by-line lyrics with timing, and complete lyrics text. All timing data is provided in seconds with millisecond precision.
What is the hoot_cer alignment score and how should I use it?
The hoot_cer (Character Error Rate) score measures the accuracy of lyrics-to-audio alignment. Lower scores indicate better alignment quality. Use this score to filter results or display confidence metrics to users. Scores below 0.1 typically indicate excellent synchronization.
Can I use this API with my own music files or only Suno-generated tracks?
The API is designed to work with Suno-generated music that includes lyrics. For custom music files, you'll need to first upload them through appropriate Suno endpoints that support lyrics extraction. The API requires a valid music_id from the Suno platform.
How precise are the word-level timestamps?
Word-level timestamps are provided with millisecond precision (decimal seconds). The aligned_words array includes start and end times for each word, allowing for extremely accurate synchronization suitable for professional karaoke applications and precise audio-text alignment.
What format is the waveform data provided in?
Waveform data is provided as an array of amplitude values representing the audio signal at regular intervals. This data can be used directly for creating audio visualizations, waveform displays, and audio-reactive graphics in music players and visualization tools.
