Lyrics Enabler
$0.79About Lyrics Enabler
*** WARNING! Multiple people have reported that this app does not work for them anymore. Please try it on some well-know song first so you can get refund in such case. I will work on some other workaround. ***
If you live outside North America, you might not even know, that SoundHound contains LiveLyrics feature, which shows you synchronized scrolling lyrics as the recognized song plays. However, this feature is not available outside USA and Canada. Therefore I decided to do something about that, and this is the result. Now you can also enjoy LiveLyrics in Europe, Asia, or anywhere else. Just run Lyrics Enabler instead of the SoundHound app.
You should know a few things about this app:
-You need to have SoundHound installed (either Free or Paid version, doesn't matter) in order to make it work. No, I won't make it for Shazam.
-Make sure that you do not run SoundHound before Lyrics Enabler. If you do, close SoundHound first, or it won't work.
-The lyrics will only show up if they are available in SoundHound, so test it on some well-known older hits first.
-You can immediately start the recognition by holding down Search button for a while. Launcher shortcut is also available.
-The app is not guaranteed to work with future updates of SoundHound. I will do my best to keep it working, but if I cannot make it, there will be no refunds after they block it. If you want to be 100% sure that you won't lose your money, dont't buy it :-).

Nice app to get around the moron execs in the States who deny access if you aren't local. Unfortunately, lyrics have not worked for quite some time. When first installed, it worked great, but not anymore.

As soon as I installed the app it worked for the first song I searched, then after trying to search for another song, no Live Lyrics were available? :-( And then after that I wasn't able to get it to get Live Lyrics for even the same song again... Using the latest version of Android on my HTC Desire S in South Africa. Tried Resetting my Phone and then launching Lyrics Enabler to ensure that Soundhound wasn't running before Lyrics Enabler did. Would appreciate it if someone has a solution for this?

Does exactly what it says. I was wondering why I never got lyrics and a search led to the app page on xda.

Latest version of this app indeed works for latest version of SoundHound. If it doesn't work for you, remember to enable Mock Location.
