Hanyu Pinyin with tone marks for Mandarin Chinese (你好 → nǐ hǎo), Hepburn romaji for Japanese (こんにちは → konnichiwa), and Revised Romanization for Korean (안녕 → annyeong). Each script is handled by its own dedicated converter rather than one generic transliterator.
Yes. With "Input is LRC" ticked, everything up to and including the last closing bracket on a line is copied through byte for byte — so [00:21.40] prefixes and metadata tags like [ti:] and [ar:] survive exactly — and only the lyric text after it is romanized. The result still syncs to the same song.
Neither. Romanization is a plain text transformation, so it is free and works signed out. Your text is still sent to our server to be converted — it is not done in your browser — and you can paste up to 80,000 characters at a time.
Auto-detect checks for Japanese kana first, then Hangul, then Chinese characters, and converts the whole passage with that script's rules — so a Japanese lyric containing kanji is treated as Japanese rather than Chinese. Force the choice with the language picker if a song mixes scripts. Text with no Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters comes back unchanged, and the page tells you so.
