Scriptly: Your AI-Powered Acting Companion Master your lines, understand your character, and bring your performance to life with Scriptly–the ultimate app for actors preparing for auditions, rehearsals, and performances. TRANSFORM YOUR SCRIPT PREPARATION Scriptly uses advanced AI to help actors break down scenes, understand characters, and memorize lines faster. Whether you're preparing for a film audition, theater production, or drama class, Scriptly gives you the tools you need to deliver your best performance. KEY FEATURES Interactive Rehearsal Mode Practice your lines with an AI scene partner. Pick your character and run the scene line by line, with a different voice for each character. Hide your lines to test yourself, and adjust the reading speed to match how you actually want to play it. Know When You're Off Book Scriptly scores how well you know each line as you rehearse aloud, weighted by how much of the line was hidden at the time. Set your audition date and it paces your practice, then shows you the lines still worth drilling. Scene Insights Comprehensive breakdowns of your scene: summary, key details, beats, subtext, stakes, and the moment before. Understand how the scene is built and where it turns. Character Insights Deep analysis of motivations, objectives, relationships, and narrative arc. Understand your character's journey and make stronger acting choices. Ask Scriptly Long-press any line for instant analysis, or for reflection prompts that connect the moment to your own experience. Chat About Your Scene A conversation about the script you're holding. Ask what a line really means, why your character says it, or what background you need to play it truthfully. Visual Mood Boards Build a board for the look and feel of your scene. Add your own photos, or generate set, wardrobe and prop visuals with AI when you want a starting point. Scan Pages With Your Camera Photograph up to five script pages in one go. Scriptly straightens and crops each page, then reads it — no scanner, no email-yourself-a-PDF. Your Own Workspace A notes page for every script, for blocking, direction, or anything you want beside the scene. Built for iPad Keep the script on screen while your insights, chat or notes sit beside it. Full iPad support, including external keyboards. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. Your scripts live on your device and back up to your own iCloud, so they move between your iPhone and iPad without ever being stored on Scriptly's servers. You can turn that backup off in Settings at any time. When you use an AI feature — insights, chat, or spoken lines — the relevant text is sent to be processed and the result comes straight back to you. It isn't used to train models and it isn't kept. Everything else stays on your device, and you can erase all of it from inside the app. SCRIPTLY PRO Scriptly is free to try with one script of your own, plus the built-in sample scene.
