Purpose built annotation for theatre sound. Mark up your script, run your show, focus on the mix.
General annotation apps weren't built for theatre sound departments — so this one was. Sound Script gives you the markup tools you actually use at the console, right on your script.
MARKUP TOOLS
DCA Assignments:
Mark DCA assignments right where they happen in the script. Choose from plain or circled numbers.
Console Cues:
Place and number your console cues directly on the script. Choose from sequential or page-based cue numbering.
SFX Cues:
A separate cue track for your QLab or playback system, independent of your console cues.
Cue Links:
Draw lines or brackets from cues to their exact go-points in the script.
Band Levels:
Place fader level markers on the page to show where band levels change. Pair with symbols to show swells, fades and other movements.
Verb Levels:
Mark reverb in and out points, or level changes as needed.
Highlights:
Colour-mark dialogue, lyrics, or stage directions so they stand out at a glance. Useful for tracking your own lines of interest through a dense script.
Notes:
Add floating text notes for reminders, warnings, or operator instructions. Choose between plain text or boxed notes depending on how much you need them to stand out.
Flags:
Drop colour-coded markers at key moments in the script. After a rehearsal or show, open the Flags list to jump straight back to every point you flagged. Perfect for tracking notes from the director, things to check, or moments that need attention.
Shapes:
Frame, group, or point to content on the page with rectangles, circles, lines, arrows and brackets.
Symbols:
Place common symbols directly onto the script, including standby and go markers, mic kills, swell and fade arrows.
Freehand Drawing:
Sketch, underline, write, or scribble anywhere on the page. Choose from thin, medium or thick stroke widths, and use the eraser to clean up.
SHOW MODE
When it's showtime, switch to Show Mode for a clean, full-screen performance view. Editing tools are hidden so there's nothing to accidentally tap during a show. A small indicator at the bottom of the page shows the next cue on the following page so you always know what's coming. Quick flags and freehand drawing remain available for live notes during the performance. Turn pages by swipe, arrow keys, Bluetooth or MIDI controllers.
MIDI PAGE TURNING
Assign any MIDI note to page forward and back using the built-in Learn function. Connect a foot pedal, a spare button on your console, or any MIDI controller and keep your hands on the desk where they belong.
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Connect a hardware keyboard for single-key tool switching, DCA chip toggles, and ⌘Z undo/redo. Full shortcut list in Settings.
SMART PLACEMENT
Annotations snap-align to nearby items as you place and drag them, keeping your markup clean and consistent without slowing you down. Adjust snap sensitivity or turn it off entirely in settings.
CUE LIST
Export a complete cue list as a CSV file, ready to drop into a spreadsheet or share with your team. Console cues and SFX cues are listed in script order with page numbers.
CUSTOMISATION
Set default colours for every tool to match your personal markup style. Adjust note font sizes, symbol sizes, and DCA display style. Sound Script adapts to the way you already work.
iCLOUD SYNC
Your annotated scripts sync across your devices via iCloud. Mark up on one iPad, open on another.
BUILT FOR THEATRE SOUND
Find your workflow in the settings. Mark your script. When it's showtime, hit Show Mode and focus on the mix.
Built by a theatre soundie, for theatre sound soundies.
