Is this a joke?

Been looking for a script reading program. Finally managed to get a script imported, and it wants to SING the script to me in a very computer generated voice. I can't find anywhere to change the voice. I can bring up a big list of voices with preview and download buttons, but no matter what I click on it just sings it to me in the same computer voice. I'll *try* the pro version, but I'm not a professional script reader. I'm a writer who is on the final draft of my script and just need it read to me to pick up errors I may have missed while reading it on paper.UPDATE: It wasn't clear that the free version used the voice applied to a setting on the iPhone, and not a voice chosen in the app.

Hey MbublitzThere is a trial period if you want to check out PRO. You can subscribe /activate it (free trial is a week) and then immediately cancel the subscription so it doesn't roll over and charge you. Other wise it's $2.99 (USD) a month.We license the voices, so we can't offer them in the FREE mode We'll probably be offering a month free trial soon as a special offer around the Easter period, if you'd like to wait.Or contact us at tablereaddeveloper@gmail.com and we can help you in other secret ways :)

(updated) need pro version but it's a valuable tool

They don't make it clear but you need to buy the pro version if you don't want it to read dialogue names. I have noticed with so far just one screenplay what other people said about it crashing, I suspect because of the multiple instances of dual dialogue in that particular screenplay that it couldn't process - it gets everything right except for dual dialogue - and the voices don't sound natural except for Harold as the narrator - I'm guessing his voice got the most developer attention - but even in speaking roles he too doesn't sound very natural. It's okay, though. It gets the job done. You just need to hear words read to you, firstly in a voice different from the one in your head to see how it sounds to someone unfamiliar with the material, and secondly just to get through a read-through of your or even other work faster. Without aid, just reading at my own pace, I can get bored or tired. This way I can follow along. They say the best teaching tool is to read more scripts. Well, this way you can. I'm not giving a full 5 stars because I think the voices could sound a bit more natural. I think Harold as the narrator proves that. Nonetheless it is still a very valuable tool and worth the very little that it costs.

I had been looking for a decent reader for scripts so I could listen to them while driving or while unable to devote my attention to a script. This was recommended online through a NoFilmSchool article, so I downloaded it and imported the script easy enough. The Free version worked well enough, but about 5pages in stopped. It told me I had to wait for an ad to finish playing, but there was no ad. I refreshed the app twice, same issue. I decided to pay the $2.99 to try the Pro version, and luckily the free trial was available.The Pro version worked much better, but still had some issues. Assigned voices wouldn’t always take, so characters would sound like each other until I manually set them a time or two. The script paused multiple times while playing with my screen off, and when I opened the app would reset to up to 20 pages EARLIER in the script. The app crashed once, and the overall functionality and navigation reminds me more of a pre-iOS 6 app. Not bad at all, very useful in a pinch, but it isn’t going to be my go-to app for everything in the future if I can find something better.

Great Tool for Playwrights!
04/09/2024

This is an invaluable tool for playwrights. I've used it to get a sense of how my play sounds while I'm still writing it, during the revision process. Of course it's always best to have it read by live actors, but it's not feasible to get something like that together repeatedly, especially in the early drafts. I can't recommend Tableread enough for use as a revision tool. Well worth the subscription!

By popular demand we've removed some annoying popups regarding voice technology. Please "CONTACT" us through the app if tableread is not behaving as you expect.
