Powerpoint Song Lyric Player

If there is any Song Lyric Player can display the lyric by human signal, it will be the perfect solution for song lead in the parties, wedding, worship and any other events. Let’s think about what we expect the song lyric should be displayed ideally. You may think the song lyric should be displayed in one screen with the operator navigates it in another screen. This is the most people idea, so there are a lot of dual display projection software and hardware selling in the market. Majority of the software is design to sell to church because church needs to project the song lyric, sermon, bible verses and message on the screen. We will talk about this further in details. Do we have another way to display the song lyric?

Would it be nice the song lyric should be displayed or played easily like any VCD/DVD Player? By pressing the button "1", it should display the verse 1, by pressing the button "2", it should display the verse 2, by pressing the button "C", it should display the chorus. Without pressing any button, the song lyric should be displayed by following it’s own sequence. Then we can make the font bigger and add some background into the lyric to make it more interesting. This is the player we want! We named it as Song Lyric Player!

You may ask do I need to hire an engineer to design the player? Or do I need to buy the player from the market, may be it is the hardware from the Amazon or software from Microsoft? The GOOD news is we can "build" the song lyric player in the Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and above. More...
