Why writers choose it

Get the story out of your head and onto the page.

No margins to fiddle with, no tabs to remember. Just the story.

◉

Speak your screenplay

Press Dictate and talk. Say “scene”, “action” or “character” and the words that follow land in the right place, perfectly formatted. (CONT’D) is added for you. Dictation runs on your device and works in English.

▶

Hear it performed

Table Read reads your script aloud with a different voice for every character. Choose each voice, read a part yourself while it plays the rest, and pause at any line.

▤

True industry format

Courier 12, standard margins and indents, scene headings, parentheticals and transitions exactly where readers expect them. See your pages as they will print.

🔒

Private by design

No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Your scripts stay on your iPad or iPhone, and dictation and Table Read run on the device.

⇄

Works with the tools you already use

Export a print-ready PDF, a Final Draft (.fdx) file or a Fountain file, and import Final Draft and Fountain scripts. Back up your whole library to Files or iCloud Drive whenever you like.

Under the hood

Everything a screenwriter actually needs

Dictation with cue words

Scene, action, character, parenthetical, cut to, new line and scratch that.

A narrator and a voice per character, with pause, resume and the page following along.

Read a part yourself

Mute a character and say their lines while Table Read plays the rest.

US Letter or A4, page numbers, header and footer, exactly as they print.

Locked scene numbers

Numbers in both margins that stay put when you add scenes.

Title page

Title, author, draft, date and contact, included in your PDF.

PDF, Final Draft and Fountain

Export all three, and import Final Draft and Fountain.

Story tools

Outline, beat board, scene status, notes and character descriptions.

Revisions and production

Save your whole library to Files or iCloud Drive and restore it any time.

Plus undo and redo, find, haptic feedback, and layouts designed for iPad and iPhone.

Speak your screenplay, it formats itself: True-Script listening while a scene is dictated
Your voice, on the page

Talk through the scene. It writes itself.

Say “scene one, interior, lighthouse, night” and you get INT. LIGHTHOUSE - NIGHT. Say “character Maggie” and her lines drop into the dialogue column. Keep talking, and the page scrolls along with you.

  • Cue words work with or without pauses
  • “Scratch that” removes the last line, Undo removes the lot
  • Recognition runs on your device, never over the internet
Hear it performed: True-Script Table Read with a voice for every character
Table Read

Hear your script before anyone else does

Clunky lines hide on the page and leap out when they are spoken. Table Read performs your script with Apple’s own voices, a different one for every character, so you can hear the rhythm of every scene.

  • Choose each voice, with a quick sample
  • Read a part yourself while it plays the others
  • Pause and resume from the same word
