## Overview

This is a browser-based lyric-timing studio: users provide audio and lyrics, the app parses the lyrics and analyzes the audio, then generates an editable word-level timeline for synchronized playback and JSON export. The sampled code supports the main processing and editor flow; the README is empty, and some component implementations are unsampled, so their internal wiring is represented only where the app-level workflow is evident.

Main entry points: [`src/App.tsx`](https://github.com/akashksankar/kineticlyrics/blob/main/src/App.tsx) (App Orchestrator), [`src/components/UploadStudio.tsx`](https://github.com/akashksankar/kineticlyrics/blob/main/src/components/UploadStudio.tsx) (Upload Studio), [`src/components/TimelineEditor.tsx`](https://github.com/akashksankar/kineticlyrics/blob/main/src/components/TimelineEditor.tsx) (Timeline Editor), [`src/components/PlayerControls.tsx`](https://github.com/akashksankar/kineticlyrics/blob/main/src/components/PlayerControls.tsx) (Player Controls)
