Who It's For
- Voice students preparing arias, recitatives, and lieder.
- Vocal coaches and accompanists who need quick language references.
- Choral directors programming excerpts, recitals, or full works.
- Anyone studying operatic and art song repertoire.

How It Works
Texts are processed into structured blocks, then enriched with IPA, translation, dictionary, and analysis data from the Python toolkit. The reader keeps the original text, diction, vocabulary, and musical context together so preparation can happen in one place.
