About this app

Hit the ground running. Save yourself hours and turn up knowing your lines. Whether it’s a stage script, screenplay, speech or presentation, you can rehearse and memorize on the go in an effective and convenient way. There’s no need to assemble the rest of the cast, or have a rehearsal partner or reader.

Actors, TV personalities, business people, public speakers and students - learn your material more effectively with Script Rehearser. You can even practice English language conversation.

You can just start recording your own voice straight away. Or you can import your theater or movie script* or simply type in your lines. Script Rehearser will read them back to you whenever you want using its customizable options to prompt you. Optimize how you rehearse as you progress.

Features include:
• Record your own voice directly into the app ^†
• Use digital voices for the other characters ^†
• Import a script from a PDF file ^‡
• Import a script you've created on your PC or Mac, or just type it into your device
• Customize scripts with your own notes and stage directions
• Clearly distinguish your lines from others
• Show your lines; hide you lines; show the first letter of each word
• Play the whole script, or skip forward to your next cue
• Play other parts while you self-tape
• Share the recorded script ^†
• Choose light or dark color mode
• Designed for phones and tablets

Script Rehearser can be configured to support your personal learning style. For example:
• Listen Along. Script Rehearser speaks, you listen. You can play, pause, and jump forward to your next line or back to your previous one.
• Wait For Me. Script Rehearser pauses for each of your lines until you’re ready to continue
• Repeat for Confirmation. Script Rehearser leaves a gap for you to say the line, then automatically speaks the line for confirmation and carries on
• Run Through. Script Rehearser leaves a gap for you to say your line, then automatically carries on with the next line

‡ Note that for a PDF file to import it must contain the text of the script, not just pictures of the text. Some PDFs contain scanned images of the text rather than the text itself, and the app can't import these files as it needs the actual text to work with.

Ratings and reviews

I use this for learning auditions and weekly scene work in a class. It's okay but not great. But all the other line learner apps (at least for Android) are way worse. It has some trouble importing sides, especially when there are things in the margins like, "Sides by Breakdown Services - Actors Access" and Start/End marks. I like the computerized voices because it keeps me from expecting the same voice and read when I do the scene.

This helped me so much! Timed playback, prompts, PDF upload, rehearsal sections...and this is just the free version. I was able to take a picture of my script, copy the text from the picture, paste the text to a word doc, and print that as a PDF to upload into the app. After a few edits of the lines, rehearsing was a breeze. The voice is robotic, and I don't know if the paid version offers different voices, but it worked out well for me.

Rehearser 3 isn't allowing my application data backup program to do its job. Which means that when I upgraded mutt phone, I lost my existing scripts. Please allow backups. Update, 10 years later: somewhere along the way, the app lost track of my subscription. Do you have record of it or do I need to repurchase?
