## WATCH IT IN ACTION

Working with AudioShake

As a music publisher active in sync licensing, Spirit Music Group regularly makes use of lyrics in its day-to-day work. Creative briefs from licensing clients can often be lyric-based—for example, an advertising client may send in a request looking for “songs about a sunny day.” However, lyrics are not always delivered to music publishers.

Spirit Music Group was able to use AudioShake’s lyric transcription service, which creates lyric transcriptions in a variety of formats, and in mere seconds, from nothing more than the audio file. Now, Spirit’s team can more easily pull playlists together while looking for key lyrics.
