Take Lab measures real delivery time between your taps as you read a script beat by beat, then saves a snapshot for comparison and revision. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write a script in Scripts, then choose it in Take Lab. 2. Start the take, read each beat and tap Next as you finish. Pause when needed; leaving the app pauses timing. 3. Finish, add a note and save the take. Reopen its original script snapshot, compare an earlier identical script and share the timing report. Beat-based writing, estimated runtime, production packs, hook and format libraries, shot planning and auto-paced rehearsal remain available in five main tabs. A saved take keeps its original text even after the script changes. WHAT TO KNOW Timing follows your taps and excludes pauses. No speech recognition, microphone or audio recording is used by Take Lab. Keep takes under two hours and individual beats under one hour. Up to 100 spoken beats and 200 saved takes. A changed script is not presented as an identical comparison. iPhone and iPad.
