OffBookly: Audition Reader

Rehearsal listens better. This release rebuilds how the app follows you while you speak. If you have ever said a line correctly and watched it come back red, that was us, not you. WHEN YOU REHEARSE - Smarter line tracking. A line that repeats a phrase no longer ends early: saying "very fortunate" the first time will not skip the rest of the line. - Filler passes. Lines that are only "Um" or "Uh" now advance on any sound. No more saying "skip line" for every filler. - Natural delivery. Slow repeats, restarts and half-finished lines are read as one turn, so the app waits for you to land instead of judging your first attempt. - Long-press any line to compare what you said against the script. - If a scene stalls, it rescues itself instead of sitting there. - Previous, pause and next controls while you rehearse. - Fixed a blank screen when editing a line from the voice-only view. BEAT WORK AND SHAKESPEARE - Notes stopped losing your transcript between rounds. Whole rounds you had actually said were coming back red. - Saying half a sentence no longer marks the whole sentence missed. - Verse stays verse. Line breaks are kept in Beat Work and Read & Mark, with a Verse/Prose toggle. - Early Modern English is understood properly now: elisions, accented endings, archaic spellings. - The Beat Work layout no longer jumps when a word is revealed. SCENE PARTNER - The hub is organised by what each scene is waiting on: Your Turn, Ready To Rehearse, Waiting On Them. - Scenes waiting on you are marked on the home screen. A scene that needed your recording used to say it was ready. - Recording shows the whole scene in order, so you can see where your lines sit. ALSO - Fixed a crash that hit roughly one in nine of you, caused by the app fetching its typefaces over the network at launch. - A short in-app guide, including one thing most people never discover: the app runs on CarPlay. Two of the fixes at the top of this list came from actors who wrote in. Keep the reports coming — I read every message.
