Your questions, answered

What is a line reader?
A line reader is your scene partner for rehearsals. It listens, recognizes cues and plays the other characters in the scene - so you can run any script on your own.
Why use a line reader?
A line reader is a great substitute for another actor. Often your friends or other actors aren't available to rehearse with and read the other characters. Our line reader produces a naturally sounding conversation between all characters in the scene.
Is it free?
Yes, it is available to use for free. The reader is just part of many features that we make for actors. For extras, such as character voices and other add-ons, you can top up your balance.
How does it work?
Drag and drop (or paste) your script to set up your first scene. Next, pick which character you are going to play. Select a voice you like for the reader. Next, press play to run the lines. When you say the last word of your line (the cue or trigger word), the line reader speaks their line in response.
How do I add new lines?
There are many ways to add or edit lines in your script: new lines can be added by pasting your script, transcribing audio or typing them out. Or by uploading your script as an image.
Which devices are supported?
Line reader runs in the web, on any device that has Internet. That means: iPhones & Androids, iPads and laptops.
What languages does your reader support?
For now, the English language (all accents: US, GB, CA, AU) is the main supported language. In the future, support will be added for other popular languages.
Does the line reader require an internet connection or sign-up process?
You will need to sign up so you can create and manage your scenes in your account.
Can I change the way the reader sounds?
Yes, you can fully customize the voices of other characters by picking from a library of natural-sounding voices. You can generate audio from text, or from your own recordings (which allows you to control the pitch, speed up or slow down the audio).
Does it come with a teleprompter?
Yes, our reader has a built-in teleprompter to help you memorize your lines and provide you with hints at recording time, to make sure you are always on script.
