Spotify Rolls Out Real-Time Lyrics on the Nest Hub

According to a report from 9to5Google, Spotify has secretly started to enable real-time lyrics on the Google Nest Hub. The feature enables you use Spotify to listen to music while viewing lyrics that change as the song continues. It is already accessible on iOS, Android, gaming consoles, desktop PCs, and certain smart TVs.

Although the introduction of the function hasn’t been publicly acknowledged by Spotify, a number of users, including the staff at 9to5Google, have reported seeing real-time lyrics on their Nest Hub gadgets. When you choose a song, the lyrics symbol will display in the bottom-right corner of the screen. By pressing the icon, you may access the function, as noted by 9to5Google. The functionality is demonstrated in the video that is posted below.

Real-time lyrics were initially only accessible to users in a few South American, Central American, and Asian nations. Everyone may now sing karaoke or learn the words to a new song thanks to the feature’s global expansion in November. Spotify originally collaborated with Genius for its “Behind the Lyrics” function, which, according to TechCrunch, has now been dropped in favour of real-time lyrics. However, Musixmatch, a provider of music data, now provides the real-time lyrics.

Similar karaoke-friendly features that enable you show album covers and real-time song lyrics through Amazon Music are currently available on the Amazon Echo Show and Meta Portal. Additionally, even though YouTube Music added lyrics support for Android, iOS, and the web in 2020, you still have to manually scroll through them while you listen because they don’t move with the music. It appears that the Nest Hub has not yet received this capability.
