What's New in Subtext

4.6.3

November 9, 2026

Taping with two devices now works even when your iCloud is full. Your devices hand the tape straight to each other over your local network, so the camera rolls without waiting on iCloud, and every take lands in the right scene on the device that filmed it. If you use Subtext on more than one device, update them all so they can talk to each other. And if you’re only playing a recorded reader, you don’t need to link anything: play it on one device, film on the other, and import the clip. Love Subtext? A rating on the App Store goes a long way for a one-person team. Questions, or something not reading right? Contact support lives in Settings and lands straight in my inbox.

This has CHANGED THE GAME

What a beautifully executed app for actors. Sending your sides to a friend to read and then that becomes the voice I act off of is amazing. It parses scripts perfectly. The voices are really good. It lets me overlap and talk over it which is great. Just so many nice touches. The annotation stuff over the script is so good. I love the notes how they’re little dots and tabs. And that I can record the self-tape and I get a hosted link? Wow wow wow.

Great tool for actors

Uploading sides and scripts to rehearse is very intuitive, and it’s been incredibly helpful for memorizing lines in a pinch. Highly recommend !

The best I’ve used

Subtext is a real game-changer for working actors. Created by a working actor to specifically cater to our wants and needs. I’m off-book faster and more confident on stage where it really matters. With a responsible and ethical approach to AI and by far the gold standard in support, I’m a happier actor.

About time

I hate AI, but this is a tool that can help sharpen you as an actor, so you can be an actor, not the other way around.

Response from developer

You know that moment where the hero is struck by the enemy’s power but rather than having it plunge their heart they’re able to grasp it in their hand and thrust it back? That’s Subtext. You totally get it. Thank you.
