HitCue: Memorize Acting Lines

Memorize lines faster. HitCue is the script and rehearsal app built for theatre actors, drama students, community theatre casts, and understudies who need to get off-book in time for the next rehearsal.

Reading the same page of the script over and over is slow and stressful. It collapses the moment you step into rehearsal — let alone under stage lights. HitCue gives actors a real method to memorize lines: AI script analysis, character focus, blackout drills, cue-line audio, TTS playback, and progress tracking — all built around how productions actually rehearse.

TURN YOUR PDF INTO A REHEARSAL TOOL

Upload your script as a PDF, Word file, or plain text. HitCue parses it automatically into acts, scenes, and dialogue. No more scrolling through 80 pages every time you need to work a scene — jump directly to the moment you want to rehearse.

FOCUS ON YOUR CHARACTER

Assign your role and see only your character's lines. Filter the script to show only the scenes you appear in — perfect for understudies, swings, and anyone covering more than one track. Edit a misparsed line, rename a character, or reload an updated draft without losing the work you have already done.

GET OFF-BOOK FASTER

• Blackout mode — hide your lines and reveal them one at a time. Test yourself progressively so you know exactly which lines still need work.
• Reveal hidden line — sneak a look at a single line without leaving Blackout mode.
• Bookmark — long-press any line to mark your spot. Reopen the script and pick up exactly where you stopped.
• Jump to scene — navigate to any scene from inside the drill, without losing focus.

RUN CUE-LINE DRILLS, EVEN WITHOUT A PARTNER

• Text-to-speech playback — your phone reads the other parts aloud. Choose language, speed, and separate male and female voices per character.
• Cue-line audio recordings — record human voices for every cue and run rehearsals solo at any hour.
• Cue beep — a soft tone right before your line so you always know when to come in.
• Adaptive pause — silence on your line matches the real length of your delivery.
• Manual pause mode — tap to advance after each line, on your own timing.
• End-of-scene behavior — loop, advance to the next scene, or only move between your own scenes.

ORGANIZE THE WORK BEYOND MEMORIZING LINES

• Acts and scenes navigation across the whole play
• Per-scene and per-character notes
• Character sheet — age, type, relationships, objectives, emotional arc
• Per-scene character statistics
• Dialogue styles — classic script format or modern bubble layout
• Theatre calendar — schedule rehearsals, performances, auditions, lessons and study sessions
• Recurring events and reminders — repeat calls and get notified before rehearsal

REHEARSE WITH YOUR CAST (Pro)

• Share your script with the cast via one invite link — no email chains
• Shared notes attached to scenes — direction, blocking, and changes stay in one place
• Cast recordings — share audio inside the script, in context
• Member access management — owner-only delete, easy member removal
