HitCue vs Scriptmate

Stop reading the same pages over and over. HitCue is the script app theatre actors use to memorize lines and get off-book faster. Brute repetition is slow, stressful, and the first thing to collapse under stage lights. HitCue gives you a real method — script analysis, character focus, blackout drills, cue-line audio, and TTS playback — built around the way real productions actually rehearse. UPLOAD A SCRIPT, GET A REHEARSAL TOOL Drop in a PDF, Word file, or plain text. HitCue parses your script into acts, scenes, and dialogue automatically. Jump to any scene in a single tap — no more scrolling through 80 pages every time you need to work a moment. LEARN YOUR LINES, NOT THE WHOLE SCENE • Character focus — assign your role and isolate just your part • "My scenes only" filter — see only the scenes you actually appear in • Blackout mode — hide your lines and reveal them one at a time • Reveal hidden line — peek at a single line without leaving the drill • Bookmark — long-press a line to resume study from exactly where you stopped • Jump to scene — move anywhere in the play without breaking your flow DRILL CUES WITHOUT A PARTNER • Text-to-speech playback — your phone reads the other parts aloud, with separate male and female voices per character • Background audio — keep cue drills playing with the screen locked or another app open, and control lines from the Lock Screen or headphones • Scene Partner — speak your lines and HitCue listens, then delivers the next cue when you finish. Live word highlighting keeps the drill moving. • Cue-line audio recordings — record the lines before yours and run drills solo, any time • Cue beep — a soft tone right before your line so you always know when to come in • Adaptive pause — silence on your line matches the length of your recorded delivery • Manual pause mode — tap to advance after each line, on your own timing • End-of-scene behavior — loop the scene, advance to the next, or jump only between your scenes ORGANIZE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Acts and scenes navigation • Per-scene and per-character notes • Character sheet — age, type, relationships, objectives, emotional arc • Per-scene character statistics — see exactly which scenes you have cracked and which still need work • Rehearsal schedule and reminders — keep calls, deadlines and repeat rehearsals visible • Dialogue styles — classic script format or modern bubble layout • Script update — re-import a new version without losing your study progress REHEARSE WITH YOUR CAST • Create a Company to keep the cast and its scripts in one place • Invite people by email and set Member, Editor, or Admin access • Cast each character to one or more people, including understudies • With Pro, keep shared notes and cast recordings in scene context WHO IT IS FOR Theatre actors preparing a role.

Rehearse your lines. Record your self-tape. No reader needed. Snap a photo of your sides or drop in the PDF. Scriptmate reads every other part out loud and waits for your cue. NOTHING TO RECORD Most line apps make you record every character yourself before you can start. Scriptmate parses the script, finds the characters, and marks your lines. Import, tap your role, rehearse. Under a minute from sides to first run. PHOTO, PDF, OR TEXT Scan paper sides with the camera, import a PDF, or bring in a text file. Long script? Pick only the pages you need for tonight's scene. A READER THAT ACTUALLY HEARS YOU Scriptmate follows your speech word by word through the whole line, not just the last word. Drop a word, pause, or go up on a line, and it still knows where you are. Your reader answers the moment you finish your cue, whether you are off book or cold reading. Speech recognition runs on your phone. VOICES THAT SOUND LIKE PEOPLE English and Spanish scripts get natural voices with real rhythm and emotion, generated on your iPhone. Every character gets its own voice, and you can swap it any time. Prefer a human? Record the other parts yourself, one line at a time, and the reader plays your takes. SELF-TAPES WITH CLEAN AUDIO Put your headphones in and record. The reader plays in your ears and the camera mic picks up only your voice. Landscape framing is enforced, so casting never sees a vertical tape. No lines on screen while recording, so you stay in the moment instead of reading. FOCUS MODE Optional. Block distracting apps while you rehearse, and lift the block the moment you stop. FIVE LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, and Korean scripts, with cue detection in each language. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import your sides. Photo, PDF, or text in, parsed scene out. 2. Tap your character. Your lines are marked automatically. 3.
