Simple LRC format was introduced by Taiwan-based Kuo (Djohan) Shiang-shiang's "Lyrics Displayer". It was one of the first programs, if not the first, that attempted to simulate Karaoke performance. It usually displays a whole line of lyrics, but it is possible to display a word at a time, such as one would see in modern Karaoke machines, by creating a time tag for each word rather than each line. "Kuo's Lyrics Displayer" was created in 1998 and was accompanied with a plug-in for Winamp.
