MyLine - Memorize your lines

Brian Caspe the creator of this app is amazing at getting right back to you with any questions and any issues that you’re having with the app. I’ve been using this for about a year when it was still in beta form and it’s gotten so so good. Thank you, Brian for putting together something to help us do our self tapes. It’s obvious that all the features that you’ve created come from the fact that you’ve been through the self tape process yourself and know what we want and need.

I’ve tested every line memorization app, and trust me, there are a ton of them. My two favorites are LineLearner and this one. I’ve recently switched to this app because it offers almost every feature I could want – incredible AI voices, speed controls, ability to show the first letters of each word, intelligent cue detection and auto-playing, cast collaboration, etc. The developer has also been very responsive to my messages. And best of all, there are no recurring subscriptions. Who wants another subscription? As amazing and feature-packed as this app is, I still keep the simple LineLearner app around because of one thing – it’s reliable and failsafe. I love MyLine and will recommend it to every actor I know – this despite the many crashes and issues I ran into using it. The features are just so good, and I found ways around most of the issues I had. It was confusing to learn how to import lines and set up scenes in the way the app wants them, but once I was shown by the developer how to do it, it was a breeze. I still wish there was a faster way to import lines via speech and transcription. Right now it takes multiple taps per line to make that happen. The app crashes frequently when I press the “previous cue” button multiple times in a row to go back several lines. I found a workaround by pausing the audio, scrolling back, selecting where I wanted to start, and playing again. On very short lines, the AI voice often misses the first word or two or doesn’t read it out at all. There’s also not an option to hear your line read back after a gap, so you have a chance to recite it and then hear it. There’s also no CarPlay app or Mac version to sync up with. The interface could use improvement, but I’m told a redesign is on the way. All in all, get this app. Everything you’ll love about it will make up for every frustration you’ll find.

4.5 stars Super helpful helping me memorize lines for a ten minute scene I have to do in my acting class. One feature I think would be useful is for lines to be muted, then audible, so you can check that you’ve said them correctly. Currently, they only have so lines are audible, then muted. Other than that, this is a great app.
