HOW IT WORKS
01
PDF in, parsed scene out. Photos of paper sides work too.
02
Your lines are marked automatically. Every other role gets its own voice.
03
Run the scene hands free, then shoot the self-tape without leaving the app.
CUE DETECTION
Scriptmate follows your speech word by word through the whole line, not just the last word. Off book or cold read, the other characters answer the moment you finish your cue.
SELF-TAPE
Reader lines play only through your headphones, so the camera never picks them up. Landscape is enforced, so casting directors never get a vertical tape, and your own lines stay hidden while you record.
FOCUS MODE
Scriptmate blocks the apps you pick the moment rehearsal starts, and lifts the block the moment you stop. Optional, and it takes one tap to set up.
HOW IT COMPARES
| Feature | Scriptmate | Most rehearsal apps |
|---|---|---|
| When the reader speaks | The moment you finish your line. It follows every word, so it keeps up if you paraphrase or restart. | After a fixed pause, or when it hears the last word of your line. |
| Recording the self-tape | In the same app, locked to landscape, right after you rehearse. | Rehearse here, then solve the reader problem again on camera day. |
| The reader on your tape | In your headphones only. You hear the cue, the microphone never does. | On the recording, or shown silently on screen. |

“I drop my screenplay in, and a second later I'm running lines. That's pretty much it. No setup, no fiddling, no fifty menus to dig through.”
rusty.m. App Store review
“Importing screenplay PDFs is really straightforward, and the app doesn't try to do too much. It stays focused on what matters. I've been using it to rehearse with my movie sides and it's made the process so much easier.”
Ellilav. App Store review
