Scriptmate vs Subtext

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. Run the scene until you are off book, then record your tape. TRY IT FREE Run a full demo scene the moment you open the app. No account, no sign-up. Import your own sides and run them once, free.

Subtext is every piece of an actor's job, in one app. The best line learner on the market, and everything around it: the email from casting, the sides, your reader, the tape, the file named the way casting asked. And if you book it, the whole script, and the run. Forward the casting email and your sides and breakdown are waiting. Your scene partner reads every other part out loud, listens for your lines, and gives you the next words when you say "Subtext, line?" Hear the whole script at a table read. Tape with a teleprompter, have a friend read opposite you from a link, then export a tape already named the way casting asked. Made for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. BUILT BY AN ACTOR I've spent over 20 years on sets and stages. Subtext is everything I learned there, and every tool is an answer to something that made the work harder than it needed to be: sides at midnight, the reader who couldn't make it, the tape that took all night to cut, the notes scribbled in pencil on a script that's now three drafts old. One place for us. The actor. Ali Momen, founder GET THE SIDES IN PDF, Word, Pages, a photo, or a scan of printed pages. Give Subtext its own email address and casting emails arrive sorted: the role, the due date, the breakdown and the NDA, pulled out for you. New draft? Subtext shows which of your lines changed. KNOW THE SCRIPT Subtext reads a script the way an actor does. It finds the characters, the scenes and the beats, and gives you a synopsis. Ask it anything right from the page: what a line means, what led here, what the scene is really about. RUN YOUR LINES A scene partner that listens, and answers when you finish. Cast every character by type. Give a line a note and the read changes. Cut in and they trail off, like a person would. Paraphrase or word-perfect, your call. Hide your lines, or show only the first letter of each word. CUE CARDS Hear the cue. Say your line. Watch it fill in word by word. Misses come back round, and every deck ends with how much of your part is off book. READING VIEW Scene numbers, MOREs and CONTINUEDs, watermarks, revision stars. Reading view clears it all away and reflows the script as clean text, in the font and size you like. A shooting script reads like a story. MARK IT UP Highlight, underline, circle the turn. Drop notes anywhere on the page and find them all in your Notebook. Work out your blocking on a stage grid beside the lines. READ WITH A REAL PERSON Send a friend a link. They record the other lines in their browser, no app and no account, and their voice plays when you rehearse and tape. Or read live together on video, with the script following as you both speak. Readers sign your NDA before they see a page. TAPE IT A self-tape studio with a teleprompter that scrolls your lines while you film. Got two devices? With the Rig, one films and the other holds your lines, plays your reader, and rolls and cuts. Mark your print, trim, slate, clean up the audio, and send one link casting can watch in any browser. MUSICAL MODE Add your score beside your book. Every song cue links to its number. On iPad they sit side by side and turn pages together. ALSO INSIDE A voiceover booth with Studio Sound. Table reads with every part voiced. Stage Mode on iPad, so the script becomes your book. YOUR WORK STAYS YOURS Your scripts never train an AI model. Neither does your voice. And no AI voice ever goes on your tape. A tape is a performance, and your reader is a real person. FREE TO START Your first two scripts are free. Go unlimited with a membership, monthly or annual, with a free trial. Members sync scripts, notes and progress across their devices with their own iCloud. Questions or ideas?
