Voxmin vs Musixmatch
Musixmatch is a lyrics catalogue with a syncing tool attached, and the syncing exists to improve the catalogue. That is a good deal if you want lyrics inside a streaming app, and the wrong shape if you want a file. Voxmin is built the other way round: the timings are yours, exportable, and rendered into a video if you want one.
