OffBook Studio

What’s New in 1.2.3 OffBook has spent a lot of time learning how to listen. This time, we taught it how to explain itself. • There’s a new App Tour. Not the kind that points at a button and says, “This is a button.” This one actually walks through how OffBook works — from getting your sides in, to setting up your Reader, rehearsing, recording, and finishing the take. You can also replay it anytime from Settings. Revolutionary concept: instructions that may actually be useful. • Getting sides into OffBook is easier to understand. The tour now shows you how to send a PDF straight from Mail, Gmail, or Files using the iOS Share sheet — plus how to use Quick Lines and keyboard dictation when you just need to get a scene in now. • Review & Edit gets its moment. Fix dialogue, change speakers, add or delete lines, clean up multiple bubbles at once, and generally deal with whatever creative formatting adventure came attached to your audition email. • Your Reader can take direction. Use a ready-made voice, re-record individual Reader lines when you want specific timing or pauses, and use Mask when you’d like to keep the performance without also playing every character yourself. • Rehearse is better explained now, too. OffBook listens for enough of your scripted dialogue to confidently recognize the cue. You can pause. React. Take the beat. Even wander off-book for a moment. It keeps listening for the scene instead of panicking because an actor did some acting. • Recording has fewer mysteries. Reader in your AirPods or headphones. Your performance through the iPhone mic. No séance required to figure out which microphone is actually listening. • And if the Reader feels too loud or too quiet afterward, don’t redo the take. Gallery’s Reader Volume Mix lets you adjust the balance while keeping the performance you already liked. Underneath all of that, we kept doing the less glamorous work too: cueing, audio, camera recovery, scene flow, and the assorted tiny backstage things whose highest possible achievement is that you never notice them. The goal remains suspiciously simple: You act. OffBook listens. The Reader answers. Nobody yells “LINE?” We’ll keep the drama in the script.
