## What is Scene Steeler?

You've aced the audition and won a leading role. Fantastic, but... now you've got to learn all those lines! Scene Steeler can help. Load in your script and away you go.

Using Text to Speech, Scene Steeler will read the other roles and pause for you to say your lines. You can start by just reading them from the screen, then once you know them, blank them out and listen for the playback to see if you got them right. If you're stuck, just double tap to reveal your line.

Lots of options let you use your time effectively. You don't have to listen through dialogue that doesn't involve you - tell Scene Steeler to just read a couple of cue lines before each of yours. Select a different voice for each character, or get Scene Steeler to read out the name of each character before his or her lines.

Now with Neural Cloud Voices: Scene Steeler can read your script to you with the most realistic sounding computer voices in the industry. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence in the cloud, select a voice for each character from a range of male and female voices with various regional accents.

Features:

Import your script from a plain text file, with simple formatting rules

Tag one or more characters as the ones you will be learning and performing

Select which voice to use for each character, in the device's text to speech engine, or a Neural Cloud voice (internet connection required)

Optionally record yourself or your friends saying your lines and your cues

Read the script on screen with your lines highlighted

Listen to Scene Steeler read your cue lines, then practise saying your lines

Say your lines along with Scene Steeler, or get Scene Steeler to pause, then read out your lines, so you can check if you got them right

Hide your lines so you can try to remember them, then tap to reveal them to check if you were right

### 1/5 — Scary underwater voices

*2025-11-19*

I got this as a replacement for my beloved Scene Partner app. Sadly, when I import the script and set the voices to read it, I hear a vengeful underwater demon instead of the speaking voice I chose. Unusable and cannot find a way to fix the problem as the “contact us” option seems disabled.

### 5/5 — Great way to learn lines

*2023-11-12*

Fantastic tool to practise and learn your lines for a play
