Steps to create karaoke from a file

1

Open Create New

In Youka, click Create New, then Create Karaoke from File.
2

Pick the file

Choose an audio file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG) or a video file (MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV).
3

Name the song

Youka fills in the title from the filename. Edit it if you want a cleaner display name.
4

Add lyrics (optional)

Paste the song’s lyrics if you have them, or leave the field blank to let Youka transcribe them from the audio automatically.
