HitCue vs Reading Partner

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.
