LineLearner lite helps you to learn up to 10 lines as quickly and easily as you learn a catchy song. LineLearner lite enables you to record scripts scenes from plays and then it allows you to listen to the full recording while you learn your part. You can then select to leave gaps in the recording for you to speak your part aloud. A prompt button is there to remind you of your line if you forget. You can choose to repeat individual scenes or the whole play. With line learner you can record your script, and share it with others, who can record their lines, and share them back, giving you the ability to rehearse together even when apart. If you need to learn more lines we recommend the full version of LineLearner or upgrade in the app.
