The work

Run it with a
scene partner.

Every other part is read by a voice that actually acts — it rages, breaks, whispers, laughs, lands the sarcasm. As you deliver, the mic listens and your line reveals itself word by word until you don't need it.

LISTENING
Self-tape

Tape it.
Send it.

Record your audition with a teleprompter that scrolls to your voice — your lines lit, a reader following along. Then putting it together is effortless: pick your takes, drop in a slate, add a fade, and export. Made for actors, every step.

We read the room.

Upload your sides exactly as they landed — scene starts and stops, FYI brackets, casting's START / END marks and scribbles, all of it. Subtext smart-scans the whole document, lifts out each marked scene, transcribes every character's lines, and hands you a rehearsal in seconds. No retyping, no setup.

Read-through

Hear the whole
script. Anywhere.

Press play and the entire script reads itself aloud — every character, fully performed, like a table read you can take with you. Run it on a jog, in the kitchen, on the drive in, and let the words sink in long before you ever open the pages.

Your script

Mark up
your script.

Import a full screenplay or the pages that landed at 4pm. Highlight, underline, circle the turn, scribble the beat — or light up every one of your lines with a single tap. Your marked copy travels everywhere you do.

For us

For us.

This is my dream app — the product of more than twenty years in this business. Everything I always wished I had at my disposal, and everything I heard my fellow actors long for too.

Subtext is the whole job in one place: learn the lines, work the scene, own the role — on stage or screen. Every ounce of its technology serves one purpose: to help us land the work, and let our humanity shine through.

With love,
Ali Momen, Actor
