Can I read Korean lyrics in English letters while I sing?
Yes, if you have the lyrics in Hangul. Paste them into the song, open it in Live Mode and switch that song from its original script to English letters. The lyrics fill a dark screen in large type, and auto-scroll moves them while you sing. The page about lyrics on stage describes the screen.
The conversion runs on your device by fixed rules. It is instant, uses no AI and follows Revised Romanization. A singer who reads Hangul can leave the song in Hangul; the switch is per song and per device.
This is transliteration. The words stay Korean and only the letters change, so the screen does not tell you what a line means.
What does the Korean romanization look like?
The table below is produced by running the app's own rule engine over each basic Hangul consonant with the vowel a, then over the basic vowels.
| Hangul letter | English letters | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 가 | Ga | syllable |
| 나 | Na | syllable |
| 다 | Da | syllable |
| 라 | Ra | syllable |
| 마 | Ma | syllable |
| 바 | Ba | syllable |
| 사 | Sa | syllable |
| 아 | A | syllable |
| 자 | Ja | syllable |
| 차 | Cha | syllable |
| 카 | Ka | syllable |
| 타 | Ta | syllable |

Two things a letter table cannot show:
- Sounds change where syllables meet. Inside a word the engine writes those changes. A final consonant that carries over to the next syllable is spelled where you sing it, and a consonant that turns nasal before an n or m sound is spelled as the nasal.
- The rules stop at a space. Where you run two words together in a fast line, the letters still show each word by itself.
To see a verse before you sign in, paste it into the free lyrics in English letters tool.
What about Japanese, Russian or Greek songs?
Kana, Cyrillic and Greek are converted by the same kind of fixed rules as Korean. Japanese lines that contain kanji are the main exception.
| Your lyrics are written in | How they are converted | What to check before the gig |
|---|---|---|
| Korean (Hangul) | Fixed rules on your device | Fast lines where you run two words together |
| Japanese, kana only | Fixed rules on your device | Long vowels are spelled out in full, as in "arigatou" |
| Japanese with kanji | AI in the app. Needs a connection and can fail | Each line. Keep a kana or romaji copy you can paste in its place |
| Russian, Ukrainian or Bulgarian (Cyrillic) | Fixed rules on your device | The output is plain Latin letters with no accent marks |
| Greek | Fixed rules on your device | Accents are not carried over |
| Chinese, Thai, Arabic script or Hebrew | AI in the app. Needs a connection and can fail | Each line, at home, while you are online |
Most Japanese song lyrics are written with kanji. For a J-pop cover, expect the AI route, or paste a romaji version you already trust. Lyrics pasted in English letters are shown as they are.
The transliteration page lists the romanization system used for each script.
Where do the lyrics come from?
From you. Paste the Hangul text into the song. StageFloww can also fetch lyrics where they are available, but not every song has them, and it does not publish a library of lyrics to browse.
Song search adds a song to your setlist from its title or a few words you remember. It needs a connection.
What should you check before a set with Korean songs?
- Paste the lyrics in Hangul. The rules work on the original script.
- Switch the song to English letters. Do it in Live Mode on the device you will sing from.
- Sing it through once at home. Note any line where the spelling and your phrasing differ in the song's notes.
- Set a performance key. Each song holds its own, for when you sing it lower than the record.
- Set the text size. Tap or pinch until you can read it from where you stand.
- Open each song on the gig device. Before the gig, open each song in the setlist once on the device you will use, while you are online.
What does it cost outside India?
The Free plan covers 1 active setlist of up to 40 songs, with Live Mode, song search and English-letter lyrics included. Pro is ₹499 a month or ₹3,999 a year. That is the price in India. Outside India, Pro is charged by card in your region's currency: US$79.99 a year in the United States, £64.99 in the UK, €79.99 in euro countries and A$119.99 in Australia. Other countries pay in US dollars, between US$14.99 and US$79.99 a year depending on the country. There are no won, yen, dollar or euro prices, and StageFloww is not the cheapest option outside India. Both plans are set out on the pricing page.
StageFloww runs in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and laptops. It is not in the App Store or on Google Play.
Good fit
- Singers who cover Korean songs and read Hangul slowly or not at all
- Cover bands adding a Korean, Russian or Greek song to an English set
- Singers who already have the lyrics in the original script
- Acts that read from a phone or tablet on a stand
Not the right tool
- Fans looking up the romanized lyrics of a named song
- Singers who need an instrumental track played from the same app
- J-pop sets where most lines contain kanji, unless you paste kana or romaji
- Singers who need the menus in Korean or Japanese
