Smule launches AutoRap for iOS and Android

Brandon McFarland on Thursday, Jul. 19th

The app developers behind the I Am T-Pain and Songify apps have developed AutoRap. All you need to do is speak into your iPhone or Android device (not to a beat) and AutoRap makes time and pitch corrections automatically to spit out a decent rap song from your recording.

The app is free, but if you want to hear your simulated raps over tracks from the likes of Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys, and Outkast, it will cost you a few shekels.

See what the guys at Engadget test out AutoRap with quotes from Star Trek and Star Wars:
