Reader? Who needs a reader?
This is the second reader app I’ve tried and it is so great. It’s everything I had hoped the other reader to be but wasn’t. The ability to select the cue word for each line, add pauses, special timing, redo voices, tweak the script… so many great options. I also just use to help me run lines while out on a walk. Love it. Highly recommend.

Unreliable and New AI Voice is Worse Than Before
Updated: I think they’ve gone out of business because I emailed their customer service on September 6th, 2026 like they suggested and it’s now the 29th over 3 weeks later and they never responded.
Original review: Often misses cues and will just sit there silently, usually halfway through a scene. I bought the subscription and it was doing alright but yesterday they released an update and the female AI voice now speaks like she’s illiterate which makes it embarrassing to submit to reputable casting directors.

Response from developer
Hey there, Thanks for your review - the new voices were added because they are direct-able and have more context about the scene, that being said, you can revert to the old voices! There is a setting in the "i" button in the main menu to turn them off. We are testing the voices, so if you could email us at hello@counterpart.actor with the scene where the voices messed up, would be great to take a look. We'd love to make it right for you. Alex
Can’t use in other countries
You need to have an American phone number to start- can’t try use an email or anything.
Response from developer
Hey there, We support phone numbers from anywhere, as long as you have a country code (+1, +61, +44) in front of the number as given in the example in-app. We are also migrating to an email system in the next update. Please contact hello@counterpart.actor if you have any questions or difficulty.
Wish it didn’t cost money to get the full experience
Yeah
Dumb
Why you can’t import and create scenes on the desktop, only on an iPhone or iPad makes no sense. Especially when most people use their phones to record, and can’t record while having another app using the sound and mic.
