Script Buddy vs ScriptReady

Your scene partner. Always ready. Script Buddy reads every other character in your script and waits for your line. Open the script you were sent, choose your role, press Play. No recording, no account, no subscription. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring your script: PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, Highland, Markdown or text. Scan printed pages with the camera. Or enter your lines in the built-in Script Editor. 2. Choose your role. Your lines are highlighted; give every other character a voice of its own. 3. Press Play. Script Buddy reads the others and pauses on your line. When you have finished speaking, it continues. Or tap to go on. THREE WAYS TO REHEARSE • Listen: hear the whole scene, every voice, scene text included. • Read: Script Buddy reads the other characters and waits for you. • Practice: your lines are hidden so you recall instead of read. Or show just the first letters, or the opening words. Double-tap to peek. Choose to hear only your cue phrases or have your line played back after you say it. MADE FOR THE WAY ACTORS WORK • Prepare for auditions and self-tapes: rehearse here until the lines are yours, then tape with whatever camera you like. • Stage, screen or drama school: a play, a screenplay, tomorrow's sides, the monologue. Anything with lines to learn. • Speech recognition runs on your device (iOS 26 and later). Prefer control? Continue on tap. • Loop a scene or a stretch of lines until it sticks. Set a rehearsal range. • Just your lines on screen: hide or mute scene headings, action lines and character names, and make the text as large as you like. • A voice for every character: language, voice, speed and pitch per character. Hear the scene in your own voice with Apple Personal Voice (English US and Spanish Mexico). • Keeps reading with the screen locked. Play, pause and skip from the Lock Screen, Apple Watch and CarPlay. (Listening for your line needs the app on screen; while locked, it pauses for the length of your line.) • Keep Screen On, Dark Mode, your choice of font and size. Library and script side by side on iPad. • Write or fix scripts in the Fountain editor with syntax color highlighting, find and replace, and jump to any scene. • Export and share your script as Fountain file. TEN LANGUAGES Rehearse in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Turkish. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up. Your scripts stay on your iPhone or iPad. Speech recognition runs on the device (iOS 26 and later). Audio is never stored. FREE No subscription, no in-app purchases, no scene or line limits. GOOD TO KNOW • Automatic import expects US-style script formatting; other layouts can be tidied in the editor or pasted in. • The scanner needs iOS 18 or later. On-device recognition needs iOS 26 or later; earlier versions use Apple's Speech framework. • For the best sound, download Apple's enhanced or premium voices once: Settings › Accessibility › Read & Speak › Voices. More than ONE MILLION LINES have already been rehearsed with Script Buddy. Script Buddy is made in Vienna, Austria by a developer from a family of actors. Break a leg!

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.
