MyKaraoke Video vs Kanto Syncro
An honest comparison with Kanto Syncro, checked September 2026
The short answer
Kanto Syncro is desktop software for Windows and Mac where you time the lyrics yourself, pressing a key on each word as the song plays. It doesn't remove vocals: Kanto sells that as a separate app. MyKaraoke Video takes the vocals out and syncs the lyrics with AI, in your browser. Pick Kanto Syncro if you want to time every word by hand, work from MIDI or KAR files, or want MP3 files with the lyrics built in.
