About

ScriptReady

Features
Read full description

ScriptReady is a rehearsal room in your pocket, built for actors, singers and students, supporting theater and TV/Film scripts and scenes. Upload your sides (or Create Your Own Script), pick your character, and run the scene out loud with active speech recognition, or passively listen on auto-repeat, with a pre-recorded friend's voice (ScriptShare), your own voice, or an AI scene partner that voices every other role. Most importantly, with ScriptReady, you can create a LIVE VIDEO CALL with a friend or colleague, to help you film your self-tape or rehearse, while they control the teleprompter IN REAL-TIME! Note: Anytime you need someone to help you record or rehearse, their help is ALWAYS FREE and only requires them to download and create an account, called "Collaborator". REHEARSE OUT LOUD • Import a PDF, a photo of your pages, or paste the text. ScriptReady sorts characters, dialogue and stage directions, handles watermarked audition sides, and lets you fix any line in two taps. • Pick your character and choose to rehearse with a friend's voice (ScriptShare), record your own voice, or use an AI partner that reads every other part. It listens for the end of your line and moves on, so you never have to tap. • Smart Timings learn how long you take on each line and play the scene back at your pace, without using voice recognition. • More options: repetition, passive listening, first-letter memorisation and countdown modes for drilling a scene until it sticks. VOICES • A curated library of AI partner voices in different accents and energies. • Record your own voice for a part, or let a friend record theirs to seamlessly sync to your script - via ScriptShare. LIVE READER • Invite a real reader into a private video call. They see the same script, synced line by line, and can pace YOUR teleprompter from their own phone while you act. • One-to-one or a small group. Rooms are invite-only by a code you share. There is no directory and no matchmaking. SELF-TAPE • Record takes with your lines on screen: camera only, teleprompter, or the full rehearsal with your partner's lines playing. • Takes are saved to your library, ready to review and send. TELEPROMPTER • A full-screen prompter with adjustable speed. Swipe the edges to speed up or slow down while playing, or move the script in the center. Pinch to enlarge/shrink text. The current line stays highlighted. SCRIPT SHARE • Send script character(s) to a friend. They record their lines on their own phone, and their real voice becomes your scene partner. MUSIC TOO • Attach a backing track or piano accompaniment and rehearse songs and scenes in sequence. Add a countdown, and your music plays once the recording begins. No more running into your scene! PRINT-TO-PDF • Import or create your script, edit it the way you like, then Print-to-PDF. • No more watermarks or distracting markings. • Auto-Highlight marks your character's lines for you - no more highlighting by hand. ACCOUNT SYNC • Your scripts and recordings follow your account across devices. Sign in with Apple, Google or email.
