Release notes

You-Mi-Verse turns your own stories into lyrics for familiar tunes. Create a little song on your own or invite friends to bring their characters into your story.

1. Start with your imagination

• Choose English or Chinese for the interface, story input, and lyrics.
• Preview and choose from ten familiar nursery tunes. Every tune works with either language.
• Add up to four characters, with optional names and descriptions.
• Provide a pronunciation hint for a character’s name.
• Describe where the story happens and what happens in it.
• Choose a mood or describe your own.
• Review and change your story details before generating lyrics.

2. Shape your song

• Generate lyrics from your characters, story, mood, and chosen tune.
• Receive an automatic check for lines that exceed the tune’s syllable limits.
• Choose between drafts when the app offers two alternatives.
• Play the melody and try singing your words.
• Make your own edits before keeping the finished song.
• If the result does not work for you, share a reason and choose a different tune or start a new story.

3. Hear how your words fit

• Generate an optional speech guide that reads your lyrics rhythmically over the melody.
• Follow along at 25% below the tune’s usual speed.
• Generate a new guide after the lyrics change.
• Report mispronunciations, dropped or unclear words, and timing that does not work.

4. Keep your creation

• Choose “I love it” to finish your song.
• Download the finished lyrics as a .txt file and any speech guide created for that version as a .wav file.
• Start another creation when you are ready for a new song.

5. Create with friends

• The host of a shared session can invite up to three friends through a private link.
• Choose an optional display name so others can recognize you.
• The host can assign characters to guests, who fill in their details and submit them back to the host.
• Character details are locked when the host moves past the character step.
• The host fills in the rest of the story, chooses the tune, and can edit the lyrics.
• Guests can follow the host’s progress and see the lyrics when they are ready.
• Changes to the lyrics appear for everyone in the session.
• Anyone can request a speech guide; everyone can listen to it.
• Once the host chooses “I love it”, everyone gets download links for the lyrics and speech guide, if one was generated.

6. Return to your session

• Return to previous sessions through the lobby’s history list in the same browser.
• Open shared sessions from another device using their invitation links.
• Sessions expire after 24 hours without activity. Empty sessions with no visitors expire after one hour.

7. Help us improve

• Share what did not work in generated lyrics: the story, meaning, mood, fit to the tune, or another issue.
• Report problems with speech guides: mispronunciations, dropped or unclear words, or timing that doesn’t work.
• Report any other issue through the bug icon in the app.
• Usage, performance, and issue reports help us investigate problems and improve You-Mi-Verse.
