Script Recorder is a companion app to the LineLearner script learning app. It allows you to record an entire read-through or run-through of the script, and then break the audio up into separate character parts at a later date. Script Recorder allows you to fine tune the editing of the lines and adjust the start and stop position so that it is just right. Once the audio has been assigned to individual characters a LineLearner script file can be generated and shared with all of the other cast members using LineLearner. There is also a new feature that uses Siri to convert the line name from Line1, Line2 etc to the start of the actual line. This is a really useful addition for any drama group that uses LineLearner as you can more easily create the script for the whole cast.
