Synchronize lyrics by singing over mp3?

Hi, new poster here. I'm curious if there is a software program that will allow me to highlight lyrics by simply singing over the mp3? I've heard the common space-bar and control key taps method is quite laborious. If the software could keep the highlight moving as long as I'm singing and stop when ...
