Welcome to Subtext

Eight things the app does. A minute each. Start at the top and you'll be running a scene before the kettle boils.

Drop in the sides your agent emailed and Subtext reads them — finds the scenes, finds the characters, and stands opposite you so you can run the lines at any hour. When it's time to tape, the same script drives the teleprompter.

You can try every one of these on your first two scripts.

The basics

1. 1 Add a scriptSend a PDF into Subtext — a screenplay, a play, or a few pages of sides.
2. 2 Rehearse with a scene partnerAn AI partner reads every other part — it acts — so you can run the scene alone, at any hour.
3. 3 Hear a table readPress play and the whole script reads itself aloud — every character, performed.
4. 4 Mark up your scriptPens, highlighters, book tabs and notes — on the PDF exactly as it was sent to you.
5. 5 Keep the director's notesNotes from the room, stamped with the time, ready to check off.
6. 6 Record a self-tapeA teleprompter that scrolls to your voice, on your phone's camera — or on the camera you actually film with.
7. 7 Record a voiceoverSlate, lay down each scene, polish out the room, and export one clean MP3.
8. 8 Send it to a readerText a friend a link. They record the other lines in their browser — no app — and their real voice reads with you.
