I think the main problem is that you often don't know the lyrics if you're trying to find a song. Recently a friend of mine hummed a song to shazam and it did actually work!

That's funny. Reminds me of the time I had auto-Shazam going on my phone for some reason when I walked into 7-11, and this guy was singing "Because I Got High" by Afroman. He sounded enough like the actual song that Shazam triggered off it.

I seem to recall that Apple announced || demoed this a couple of WWDCs ago. I didn't realize it was already deployed. I assumed it was going to be part of Siri/HomePod.

That reminds me: what ever happened to Shazam live lyrics?

You used to be able to Shazam the middle of a song, and it would start displaying the lyrics in real time. Apple even demoed it in a keynote. I haven’t seen that feature in a while.

I've seen a similar feature with the Music app on iOS and tvOS, but it only seems to work with music from Apple Music.

Using it with Shazam would be great for when you can't understand one or two lines of a song.

There are variations where you tap the beat also. I've had that work at times.
