Your Online Songbook. Simple.
Give your singers a simple way to find your songs. One dedicated URL. One QR code. One online songbook.
Online Songbooks without the hassle
Your singers shouldn't need to search through a huge printed book to find a song.
With What Can I Sing, your karaoke catalogue becomes an online songbook that singers can search from their phone, tablet or computer.
Give your venue its own dedicated URL and turn that URL into a QR code. Put the QR code on the table, at the bar, on your TV screen, on a poster or anywhere your singers can scan it.
They scan. They search. They request.
That's it.
One simple online songbook
No paper. No pencils. No hunting through pages.
Your songbook gets its own URL
A direct link to your venue's songbook.
A direct link to YOUR songbook
Every participating venue can have a dedicated web address that takes singers directly to its WCIS songbook.
There is no need for singers to search for your venue first. Give them the link and they are there.
This is particularly useful for hosts who want to promote their karaoke show online, add a songbook link to social media, place it on a website, or share it with regular singers.
And because it is web-based, singers can use the songbook without downloading an app.
Turn your songbook into a QR code
Your dedicated URL can be turned into a QR code.
Put it wherever your singers are likely to see it:
- On tables
- At the bar
- On your karaoke screen
- On posters and flyers
- On business cards
- On your website
- On social media
A singer scans the code with their phone and goes straight to your online songbook.
No app store. No searching. No complicated instructions.
Scan & Sing
Scan the QR code and start searching.
Find karaoke by location
Discover participating venues using the WCIS map.
Your songbook can be discovered by location
Not every singer will have your QR code.
That's where the WCIS venue discovery map comes in.
Singers can use WCIS to find participating karaoke venues and see where karaoke is happening.
Depending on the venue and its settings, they can see information such as the venue, show details, location and available songbook.
So there are two simple ways for singers to find you:
- Direct: Scan your QR code or open your dedicated songbook URL.
- Discover: Find your venue through the WCIS interactive map.
Online Songbook. Three Simple Steps.
WCIS is designed to keep the singer experience as simple as possible.
1. Scan
The singer scans your venue's QR code or opens your dedicated songbook URL.
2. Search
They search your actual karaoke catalogue by song or artist.
3. Request
They submit their request and it appears in your WCIS Host system.
Keep your Digital Songbook up to date
A digital songbook is only useful if it reflects the catalogue you actually use.
WCIS includes songbook management tools that allow Hosts to upload and maintain their karaoke catalogue.
- Upload your catalogue using CSV files
- Add individual songs
- Prevent duplicate entries
- Use manufacturer catalogues
- Export your songbook
- Automatically provide your Singer with a "Latest Additions"
- Easily create a "Host Recommendations" list
- Upload one file and it automatically creates Title and Artist order.
WCIS is designed to handle large catalogues, so you don't have to worry about replacing your songbook simply because your collection has grown.
One catalogue
Keep your singers searching the catalogue you actually use.
Web, Apple or Android
Your singers can choose how they use WCIS.
More than just a Digital Songbook
The online songbook is the simple front door for your singers.
Behind it is the rest of WCIS if you choose to upgrade.
Once a singer submits a request, it can be managed through the WCIS Host App or Web Based Host Version.
Hosts can manage requests, singer rotation, request order, queue limits, notifications and more.
Singers can use WCIS through the web or through the iOS and Android apps. The systems communicate with each other, so your venue isn't locked into one method.
Your Songbook. Your Karaoke Software.
WCIS can operate as a stand-alone digital songbook and request system, or it can work alongside supported karaoke software.
SongBoss
Sync your WCIS songbook with your SongBoss library and use supported request two-way integration.
OpenKJ
WCIS supports integration with OpenKJ so approved requests can flow into your karaoke workflow.
VirtualDJ
WCIS supports integration with VirtualDJ for compatible karaoke hosting workflows.
Siglos
WCIS also supports integration with Siglos.
If you have been looking at options such as SongbookDB, SongBooks Online, Songbooks Live, traditional printed songbooks or other songbook management systems, the important question is simple:
Can your singers get to your current songbook quickly?
WCIS is built around that simple idea. Your singers get direct access to your catalogue, while your Host gets the tools to manage what happens next.
No App Required
This is one of the biggest advantages of the WCIS Online Songbook.
Your singer can simply open the dedicated URL in their browser.
They don't need to download an app.
They don't need to create an account just to browse the songbook.
They don't need to learn a complicated system.
They simply open your songbook and start searching.
Open. Search. Sing.
Your online songbook works through a web browser.
Why make your songbook digital?
Because your karaoke show changes every week. Your songbook should be able to change with it.
No More Printing
Stop maintaining piles of printed pages and outdated songbooks. Your singers search the online catalogue.
Easy to Update
Add songs and update your catalogue without having to reprint your entire songbook.
Easier for Singers
Search from a phone instead of trying to read a printed songbook in a dark karaoke venue.
Direct Access
Give singers a direct URL or QR code that opens your venue's songbook.
Venue Discovery
Participating venues can also be discovered through the WCIS interactive map.
Requests made your way
Our Songbook and Location tier does not take over your requests. It displays a list of songs and Singers still make requests the way you have been doing it.
