## What is OnBook?

Never scramble for a last-minute reader again. Take total control of your process, from PDF to performance.

OnBook is the scene partner that listens. Upload your sides, choose your role, and start running lines. It follows along as you speak and brings in the reader at the right moment, so scenes stay alive, not laggy.

HOW IT WORKS
- Upload a PDF of your sides.
- OnBook gets your scenes ready in seconds.
- Choose your role and hit play.
- Your reader comes in on cue, waits when you pause, and stays with you.

BUILT FOR SELF-TAPES
Use OnBook as your reader on a second device while you record on your main camera. Place it just off-lens for a natural eyeline, with no extra person needed in the room.

ANYONE CAN BE YOUR READER, ANYTIME
Use OnBook's built-in voices, record the lines yourself, or send a secure link to a friend so they can read for you from their own device. Record once, then take it again and again. No scheduling needed.

A TELEPROMPTER THAT FOLLOWS YOU
Glance when you need to. The page moves with you, so you can keep your place and stay in the scene.

GET OFF-BOOK FASTER
When it is time to memorize, OnBook helps you drill your lines. Use modes like blurred lines or first letters to test what is really there. After a run, Line Review helps you catch missed words and see what needs another pass.

BOOKED THE JOB? BRING ONBOOK TO SET
Upgrade to upload full scripts. Run lines in your trailer, on the commute, or in the makeup chair so you can step in feeling ready and at ease. Works in the background too, so you can scroll when the scene becomes second nature.

REHEARSE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
Turn the backseat of a rideshare or the subway into rehearsal time. Practice offline, on your schedule.

YOUR WORK STAYS PRIVATE
The reader works on your device, fast and private.

(Note: OnBook offers a free tier to get you started. Premium features, including full-length script uploads, advanced sharing, and iPad support, are available via purchase or subscription.)
