Playback and the release of Scriptation 6.0 brings script reading to a whole new place; anywhere you want. Simply put, Playback is your script. Out loud.
Scriptation 6.0, featuring Playback, is now available in the App Store!
But you didn’t click this to read what’s in the banner. You want the release notes (dramatically read, coming soon). You want to know what we did. You want to know how listening to your script is about to get a glow up. Read on for all those juicy dev details:
Listen. Anywhere.
Your weekend read just got a whole lot easier on the eyes. With Playback in Scriptation, listen to your scripts anywhere your device goes. The car, the plane, the gym… anywhere you want to hear how the latest revisions address your notes or if this part is the one you want to audition for.

New Voices, New Features
Our redesigned and reimagined Reader mode now makes the words jump off the page with lifelike voices and a cleaner, more focused look. New voices have been added to help bring an heir of casting and customization to how you listen to your scripts.

With available readers ranging from Friendly Neighbor to Fairy Godmother, you can take your read from New York to Neverland at the touch of a button thanks to Playback in Scriptation.
Don’t feel like running a casting session? You can also let Playback auto-assign voices to get listening faster.
Settings you can set (& forget)
Scriptation Settings are now found all in one place, to make customization easier; that’s why Scriptation 6.0 also brings the ability to choose what icons are in your top menu. Only bring the ones you want – or want to learn how to use (eventually…:-).
Fully customize your Playback Presets once, and carry it over to every script, sketch, or scene you want to listen to. Set, forget, and listen to every script the way that helps your process most. Or the way that helps your Studio Exec boss’s process most.
You can also tailor which elements of the script are displayed and/or read aloud dynamically; for faster dialogue-only sprints to full on, every line of action narration and of course – a wonderful blend of both.
Playback is designed to get you listening to your scripts once the download hits 100%, but we also built in the flexibility for users to dig into their nitty-gritty settings . That can mean not just adjusting what gets read from the script, but how it gets read. Pace up the line delivery or slow down the speaking rate, and vice versa, to make your script match the tone intended.

Table Reads made simpler
No cast is now officially no issue. Table Reads no longer require days of scheduling, hours of script printing, and trays of catering. Just set your Scriptation Playback to the settings you envision for your cast (and Narrator/Action Line reader), hook up your bluetooth to your iPhone, and get your room ready to make their notes on their iPads… in Scriptation, of course.
Table Reads, made simpler. Only in Playback.
Run lines & Record self-tapes

Calling all actors! Let Playback be your scene partner in Scriptation 6.0.
Now it’s easy to mute your role while Playback reads the rest. Voice cue waits for you to deliver your line and picks up once you’ve finished. When you’re ready for your self-tape audition, do it right within the app; where you can send it off to casting just as easily. No more switching from app to app hoping the right file(s) come with you.

We’ve also optimized the performance of existing features, and you can look forward to upgrades such as:
- Brand-new onboarding with sign-in for a smoother session start
- Auto-Tag moved to the Tagging toolbar for quicker access
- Multiple bug fixes and general stability improvements; Scriptation’s always aiming to make our user’s experience better
