It happens to every AI singer sometimes: the song is exactly what you wanted, except one word in the second verse comes out slightly wrong. A name gets flattened, a rare word is stretched oddly, or a soft consonant goes missing. Making the whole song again is the worst fix, because the new take may lose the melody you liked and break something else.
On Autunes you fix the line, not the song. This guide explains the three ways to do that and when to use each.
Three ways to fix a wrong word
- Pick the lines yourself (Pro and Creator, 10 credits): tick up to 5 lines you hear a problem in, and only those are re-sung on the same melody. Best when you already know where the problem is.
- Auto-fix pronunciation (Pro and Creator, 10 credits): the AI writes down what was actually sung, compares it word by word with your lyrics, and re-sings the lines that do not match. If it finds nothing to fix, your credits come back. Best when you suspect problems but are not sure where.
- Edit a section (3 credits): select one part of the song, type the words you want, and only that part is changed. Best when you want to change the words themselves, not just how they are sung.
Step by step: pick the lines and re-sing them
- Step 1: Find the line. Play the song with its synced lyrics on screen and note which lines sound off. Headphones help; small phone speakers hide a lot.
- Step 2: Check the spelling in your lyrics first. If the word is misspelled, or written in Roman letters where the rest of the song is in Devanagari or another script, correct it. The singer sings what is written.
- Step 3: Open the song in the Studio and choose the Lyrics tool. Below the Auto-fix button you will see “Hear a word that’s off? Pick up to 5 lines and we’ll re-sing just those, same melody.”, with every line listed next to its time in the song.
- Step 4: Tick the lines. The counter shows how many you have picked, up to 5.
- Step 5: Press “Re-sing picked lines (10 credits)”. It runs in the background and takes a few minutes. The fixed take arrives as a new version in your library, so the original is still there to compare.
- Step 6: Listen to the fixed lines, and compare against the original if you are unsure. If there are more than 5 lines to fix, run it again on the next batch.
When Auto-Fix is the better choice
Auto-fix pronunciation is useful for longer songs and languages you do not speak fluently, where you cannot easily tell which line is off. It listens to its own singing, writes down what it hears, and compares that with your lyrics. Only the lines that differ are re-sung; everything else is left untouched.
If it decides every line already matches your lyrics, it does not charge you: the 10 credits come back, and the song’s title tells you nothing was found so you can pick the lines by hand if your ear disagrees. If the re-singing itself fails, the credits come back as well.
One limit to know: for Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, the listener cannot yet reliably check the words, so Auto-Fix re-records what it flags but cannot confirm the result. For songs in those scripts, picking the lines yourself, or editing a section, is the more dependable route. The Studio shows a note about this when your lyrics are in one of those scripts.
Songs made from a description
If the AI wrote the lyrics for you, the exact words may not have been saved with the song. In that case the Lyrics tool first asks you to confirm the song’s lyrics: it shows what the audio sounds like, you correct any word, and you save once. After that, the line picker and Auto-Fix both work.
If a word is still wrong after re-singing
Some words are hard for any singer. A few things usually help:
- Spell the word the way it sounds. For an unusual name, a spelling closer to how it is said often sings better than the official one.
- Split a very long compound word into two parts with a space, if the meaning allows it.
- Move the word. If one word keeps landing awkwardly on a fast part of the melody, Edit a section (3 credits) lets you rewrite the line so the word sits on a longer note.
- Use Zori5.5 XL for songs where every word matters, such as names, bhajans and wedding songs. On the free plan it is available when you write your own lyrics.
