## What is Script Rehearser?

Hit the ground running. Save yourself hours and turn up knowing your lines. Whether it’s a stage script, screenplay, speech or presentation, you can rehearse and memorize on the go in an effective and convenient way. There’s no need to assemble the rest of the cast, or have a rehearsal partner or reader.

Actors, TV personalities, business people, public speakers and students - learn your material more effectively with Script Rehearser. You can even practice English language conversation.

You can just start recording your own voice straight away. Or you can import your theater or movie script* or simply type in your lines. Script Rehearser will read them back to you whenever you want using its customizable options to prompt you. Optimize how you rehearse as you progress.

Features include:

 • Record your own voice directly into the app, and have it automatically transcribed †
 • Use digital voices for the other characters †
 • Import a script from a PDF file ‡
 • Import a script you've created on your PC or Mac, or just type it into your device
 • Customize scripts with your own notes and stage directions
 • Clearly distinguish your lines from others
 • Show your lines; hide you lines; show the first letter of each word
 • Play the whole script, or skip forward to your next cue
 • Play other parts while you self-tape
 • Share the recorded script †
 • Choose light or dark color mode
 • Designed for phones and tablets

Script Rehearser can be configured to support your personal learning style. For example:

 • Listen Along: Script Rehearser speaks, you listen. You can play, pause, and jump forward to your next line or back to your previous one.
 • Wait For Me: Script Rehearser pauses for each of your lines until you’re ready to continue
 • Repeat for Confirmation: Script Rehearser leaves a gap for you to say the line, then automatically speaks the line for confirmation and carries on
 • Run Through: Script Rehearser leaves a gap for you to say your line, then automatically carries on with the next line

† Pro Features
To enable us to continue developing the app, the following are Pro features:

 • Recording your own voice
 • Choosing which digital voice to use for each character
 • Exporting a script

There’s a 30-day free trial of Pro features, with no sign-up required and no automatic conversion to a paid subscription. After this you can keep using everything you’ve done, even if you don’t subscribe.

‡ Note that for a PDF file to import it must contain the text of the script, not just pictures of the text. Some PDFs contain scanned images of the text rather than the text itself, and the app can't import these files as it needs the actual text to work with.

### 5/5 — Just what you need and nothing more

*2026-08-03*

Script Rehearser is designed with tons of helpful features and options designed to help novice and intermediate actors and speakers master their scripts. There’s an easy process to load scripts, which automatically sort the text into speaking parts that are easily editable. You can choose voices from AI characters or record parts specifically for your work. There are many thoughtful design touches for different stages of learning, including hiding your characters lines, showing only the first letter, or displaying all the words. Script Rehearser has helped me enormously!!

### 5/5 — Good, but one problem

*2026-06-19, version 6.9.205*

The problem is all the voices sound like robots and make me a little paranoid about the robot uprising. Still it’s nice how you can adjust the voices and it helps me memorise my lines with the bit where you can cover them up. I think it helps that you can see all the other lines.

### 3/5 — It’s good, but…

*2026-06-04, version 6.5.192*

Whenever I name a character, the voice is female, even if the character is male…

### 3/5 — Community Theatre

*2026-06-02, version 6.8.204*

Stopped working with NO SUPPORT. Tutorials and help are difficult to navigate, particularly searching in the feedback lists, there are pages and pages, and pages with no real index the new voices are not very good

### 1/5 — Community Theatre

*2026-04-17, version 6.8.204*

Stopped working with NO SUPPORT. Tutorials and help are difficult to navigate, particularly searching in the feedback lists, there are pages and pages, and pages with no real index the new voices are not very good

### 1/5 — Not user friendly or intuitive

*2026-03-04, version 6.8.202*

It's so hard to simply create a new scene without re-entering all the characters. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't even pop up, making it impossible to type out lines. I used it back in 2023 effectively but they must have updated it because it doesn't do what I remembered it doing anymore.

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-02-10, version 6.7.199*

Spent three days trying to go to work properly waste of time and money

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, but has potential

*2025-12-08, version 6.5.192*

Doesn’t work, but has potential

### 5/5 — Love it. Better than adding scripts in my notes

*2025-12-01, version 6.5.192*

I love this app. It’s better than adding scripts in my notes. Just make sure if you’re not a fan of the voice ignore the voice talking button. I love this app. 5 STARS 0 COMPLAINTS!

### 5/5 — Major role

*2025-11-29, version 6.5.192*

Script Rehearser was invaluable in helping me to prepare for a lead role. Our show got great reviews and I won an award!  Thanks for your help.
