| Line Perfect | Counterpart · Alexander Finch | |
|---|---|---|
| How a script is organised | Script → scene → line. Acts are labels on scenes; stage directions are kept apart from lines. | Scenes divided into beats. |
| Getting a script in | Paste, .txt / .md files, PDFs (scanned pages are read on the device), photo or camera scan. No Word or Final Draft import. | PDF including scanned pages, analysed up to 10 pages at a time; separates your dialogue, other characters' lines and stage directions. |
| The other roles | Text-to-speech on the device. One face and one chosen voice per role; natural voices in eight languages. You cannot record real voices. | Your own voice, AI text-to-speech, or a friend recording in a browser without an account. |
| Listens to you | Yes, on the device. Moves on by itself when your line is finished. | For the cue word. |
| Feedback on your words | Every word marked as matched, read differently or skipped, with what you said instead. | None described. |
| Spaced repetition | Yes — the SM-2 schedule, built from your results. | Automatically generated flashcards per scene; no scheduling described. |
| Self-tape / teleprompter | No. | No. |
| Working with your cast | No. | A friend can record reader lines through a web link. |
| Account and privacy | No account. Texts and voice stay on the device; no ads, no tracking. | The App Store privacy label says no data is collected. |
| Platforms | iPhone (iOS 18 or later). | iPhone, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. |
| Price | Free with 12 minutes in any 30. $0.99 / month or $9.99 / year, first 7 days free. | $6.99 / month or $58.99 / year. |
you work on a Mac, or a friend is willing to record the other part.
