Talking Scripts vs My Sides

"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. I wanted a simpler way to stay connected to stories. I looked everywhere for something that could do this. I couldn't find it. 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."

My Sides is a rehearsal partner for actors. Import your screenplay, choose your character, and run your lines with AI voices playing every other part. HOW IT WORKS Import a script in PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, or Fade In format. My Sides reads the screenplay, identifies every character, and builds an interactive rehearsal session. Pick the role you're playing, and the app voices all your scene partners while you speak your lines into the mic. The app listens to your delivery, checks it against the script, and tells you how close you got. Retry the lines you stumble on, skip the ones you've nailed, and track your score as you go. WORKS OUT OF THE BOX My Sides works immediately with Apple's built-in voices and on-device AI. No accounts, no sign-ups required. Just import a script and start rehearsing. OPTIONAL PREMIUM VOICES Connect your own ElevenLabs account for realistic, natural-sounding voices. Give each character a distinct voice - different ages, accents, tones. ElevenLabs has a free tier that covers several rehearsals a day. SMARTER SCRIPT READING For complex or unusually formatted scripts, connect a Claude (Anthropic) or OpenAI account. These AI services are better at parsing messy formatting. Both offer free credits when you sign up. On supported devices (iOS 26+), on-device AI handles most scripts without any cloud service. SCENE-BY-SCENE REHEARSAL Long scripts are automatically split into rehearsable scenes. Practise one scene at a time, or run the full script end to end. BUILT FOR ACTORS - Speak your lines into the mic and get instant accuracy feedback - Lines are masked until you peek (peeking counts against your score) - Colour-coded characters so you can scan for your cue - Strict mode (word-for-word) or Sense mode (meaning preserved, wording flexible) - Session stats: pass rate, average score, peeks used, line-by-line breakdown - Track your improvement across rehearsal sessions PRIVACY FIRST Scripts stay on your device. Audio is processed in real-time and never recorded or stored. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and never shared with anyone except the services they belong to. FREE TO USE One script with unlimited rehearsals, completely free.
