"Hi, this is Idris Elba. Most scripts are read under pressure. Late nights. Flights. Prep. Walks between meetings. As someone with dyslexia, this was a killer.

So I built Talking Scripts with award-winning director Stefan Schwartz - an app that brings your scripts to life, wherever you are. We hope it helps you the way it's helped us."
