Know your lines. Know you're ready. Cue Line listens to you rehearse and tells you exactly what you got right — like a scene partner that never gets tired. Built for actors, musical theatre performers, opera singers, and presenters. HOW IT WORKS • Upload a script (PDF, TXT) or paste it in • Pick your character — Cue Line finds every line for you • Press the mic and run the scene. Your cue lines are read aloud in distinct voices; you speak yours. • Get an instant score on accuracy, see which words you missed and watch lines move from bronze to gold as you master them. It's fully local for grading — no waiting, no web hops, just speak and see your score. WHAT'S INSIDE • Scene Partner — 12 voices to choose from, assigned per character. Plays your cues with realistic delivery so you can rehearse alone. • Self-Tape Studio — full teleprompter overlay with front-facing camera. Record your audition in landscape or portrait, save to your camera roll. • Rapid Fire drills — three modes (Timed, Random, Gauntlet) that push you to recall lines under pressure, the way auditions feel. • Personalized Coaching — daily coaching notes tailored to your practice patterns, plus on-demand technical feedback. • Trouble Spots & Mastery — Cue Line tracks the lines that trip you up and surfaces them in focused drills. Gold mastery decays if you don't recall, so you stay sharp through tech week. • Annotations & Emotion Tags — anchor every line to an objective ("to persuade," "to defend") and an emotion (joy, grief, resolve). Memory science, in your pocket. • Flashcard Review — silent cue → reveal→ swipe loop for stolen moments between scenes. • Built-In Library — Shakespeare, Wilde, Ibsen, Chekhov, Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Rossini, Gilbert & Sullivan, and more. Public-domain scripts ready to rehearse. • Multilingual — works with Italian, German, French, English. Built for opera and international musical theatre. • Monologue Mode — Build Up (cumulative chunks), Practice Chunks, or Full Run. Perfect for audition prep. PRO FEATURES (7-day free trial) • Unlimited script imports • Scene Partner with 12 ElevenLabs voices • Self-Tape Studio • AI coaching notes + technical feedback • Rehearsal schedules • Library access • Daily coaching tips PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your scripts stay on your device. Speech is processed locally for scoring. We never share your audio. No more flashcards stuck to the bathroom mirror. No more begging your roommate to feed you cues. No more "I think I know it…" Know your lines. Know you're ready. Try free for 7 days. Then $6.99/month or $44.99/year. Cancel anytime.

The rehearsal studio actors carry in their pocket. Break monologues into beats. Run scenes with every other role voiced for you. Rehearse with a real scene partner's recorded voice. And run the whole thing hands free — on your drive, on a walk, phone in your pocket. OffBookly is built for working actors who don't have time to wait for a scene partner, a coach, or the perfect studio. Run lines on the train. Drill cold reads before a self-tape. Master a monologue beat by beat, intention by intention. Turn the commute into one more rehearsal. REHEARSE WITH A REAL SCENE PARTNER Record your lines, share a 6-character code with your scene partner, and run the scene with their real recorded voice in place of the Reader. They record their part back on their own time. No schedules, no studio — rehearse whenever you're ready, even offline once the scene is downloaded. REHEARSE ON THE DRIVE — CARPLAY Traffic, errands, the commute — found time becomes reps. Your cue plays out loud (the Reader's voice or your scene partner's real recording), you speak your line, and the scene moves on. It's entirely by voice: say "skip line" or "hint line," and when the scene ends it replays on its own. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel — and lines recalled out loud in the real world stick better than one more silent read-through. WHY ACTORS CHOOSE OFFBOOKLY Scene Partner — Record, share a code, and rehearse with your partner's real voice. Or let the Reader voice every other role for you. CarPlay Drive Rehearsal — Turn drives into reps: cues out loud, full voice control, automatic replay. Beat Work — Break monologues into beats with intention tags. Understand before you memorize. Verse & Shakespeare — Verse keeps its line breaks in Beat Work and Read & Mark, with a Verse/Prose toggle. Early Modern English is handled properly: elisions, accented endings, archaic spellings. Scene Rehearsal — One-tap PDF upload. Every other role read aloud with realistic voices. Script Split — Drop in a feature-length screenplay. We pull every scene you're in. Word-by-Word Scoring — See what you nailed and what you dropped after every take. Flashcard Drill — Active recall, card by card. When you can do them in any order, you really know them. Hands-Free Mode — Say "skip line" or "hint line," or pocket the phone and use the playback controls right on your lock screen. Practice while you walk the dog or head to set. Audition Reminders — Set your audition date and get a nudge so you walk in ready. Offline-Ready — Practice on planes, on hikes, in dressing rooms. Your Library — Every monologue and scene you've drilled, always with you. FREE TO START Try the built-in demo scenes and monologue, plus a daily rehearsal allowance — no payment needed.
