Any alternative to 4Pockets Lyricist?
I was planning on using Lyricist on a track and just realised that it no longer works on IPadOS 17.
Are there any alternatives out there?

I don’t know what your timeframe is, but I’d just email Mr.Paul @4pockets_paul @4Pockets_Support and ask if an update is in the works he reminds me of someone who wants perfection, and is rarely idle
Yeah, I thought of that, but given his circumstances right now I don't feel right to bother him...

You can type phase for each note then sequence the phrases with midi.
Aye, Lyricist is sorely missed here, I do hope it can be brought back. I can still load my old projects and they will play back ok, but I don’t dare try to edit or change any settings or I will suffer a crash. I haven’t tried Speak Unit, it may work for some purposes but it looks like it has few of the abilities Lyricist offered.
I went to have a look in the App Store - no longer there it seems - UK
There’s also this one - similar to @hacked_to_pieces suggestion above

If the reason for your request is that, like me, you can’t sing, then Bleass has a couple of vocal apps that might help. Like vocoders on steroids. You can use your own voice (or a text to speech app) and only need to get the rhythm right. Speak in a monotone or sing as close as you can to pitch and play in the notes. With patience you can get decent results.
I was going to suggest this app, but as I have now seen it is no longer free, 3.99€ per month, 3 days free trial.
It also only has a 1-star rating (German App Store).

Yeah, I have this one but I want something more human sounding...
Thanks. I'll have a look at this one...
Hmm...subscription...maybe I could do something with the trial...thanks...
Ok, this one just might do...I'll have to experiment a little...
Good stuff. I think you’ll have to screen record this one then import the video to Koala or whatever to get it into your system.
I just tried to use Lyricist for the first time in quite a while, and it freezes and closes itself anytime I try to do anything.
Went onto the App Store to see if maybe I’d missed an update, and yeah, it’s totally gone.
From reading this thread, sounds like it’s been abandoned and/or the developer is having broader issues…maybe?
Rats. It is gone. I wonder if recent iOS updates have mangled developer access to its speech tools.
Yes - It broke with iOS 17. The developer pulled it from the App Store shortly after. There are no plans to bring it back that I am aware of, but I miss it a lot.
For $daygig I’ve been tasked with porting an iOS app, and the ecosystem is indeed a bloody nightmare.
