Talking Scripts

As someone working in film and TV (also with ADHD), I’ve found this app extremely useful either as a listen-only option or as a read-along way to help me focus. While I’ve had a few frustrations with past versions of the app draining my battery or overheating my phone, the newest updates seem to have remedied these issues. The team is also very helpful and communicative with issues. Recommend. The new Voice+ options also have some great options if you need more than just a typical synthesized voice read.

After downloading a few hours ago, I can already imagine how this app will change my life for the *much* better! I wish this had existed 10+ years ago.. Developer, one quick thing: I’ve signed up for a premium trial, and though I’ve logged in on both my up-to-date iPhone and my up-to-date iPad, “Copy to Talking Scripts” never shows up in PDF share options, even in the extended options (“More”), on my iPad. It showed up immediately on iPhone, but even after restarting, removing and reinstalling, and such combinations of actions, still no go on iPad. Would you pretty please look into this? Many thanks!

I totally respect Idris Elba but this app is pretty awful. I totally get those who have to read a pile scripts each week but hey that’s why we get paid the big bucks to do it. You’re just no going to feel the writers emotion or any beats of the script with this app. I tested an academy award winning script just for giggles and it just wasn’t the same, if I would have relied on the app it would have also been a hard pass. I just don’t think we’re there yet with this technology to really get the feel of narrative storytelling. If you have to rely on this then maybe you should reevaluate why you chose this profession in the first place. For those that use it primarily to run lines then maybe I get why it could be somewhat useful.
