"Hi, this is Idris Elba.

Most scripts are read under pressure. Late nights. Flights. Prep. Walks between meetings. As someone with dyslexia, this was a killer. I wanted a simpler way to stay connected to stories. I looked everywhere for something that could do this. I couldn't find it. So I built Talking Scripts with award-winning director Stefan Schwartz - an app that brings your scripts to life, wherever you are. We hope it helps you the way it's helped us."

User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise Talking Scripts for letting professionals listen to scripts on the go and helping focus and productivity, with the ability to customize voices and adjust speed, pitch, and tone. However, recurring downsides include poor, robotic voice quality that can fail to convey emotion; premium upgrades that don’t noticeably improve voices and may introduce bugs; stability issues such as crashes or the app failing to open after updates or with premium; and occasional bugs like recast voice switching not working.
Pros
  • Convenient for listening to scripts on the go (driving, commuting, walking) which saves time.
  • Improves focus and productivity, especially for work and for users with ADD.
  • Customizable voices (pitch, tone, and speed) enhance the listening experience.
  • Free or affordable pricing makes it accessible.
  • User-friendly and easy to use.
Cons
  • Voice quality is robotic/unnatural and fails to convey emotion.
  • Premium upgrades do not meaningfully improve voice quality and can cause issues.
  • App instability: crashes or won’t stay open after premium or after updates.
  • Voice switching / recast is unreliable or sometimes doesn't work.

The voices on this app are AWFUL, every single one of them. They are all super computerized and none of them sound natural. Under settings, it says by going Premium you get better, more natural sounding voices...you don't. It's the exact same voices. And they are all bad. Like....very bad.

I love the idea of having my script read to me but the voices aren’t that great in my opinion 😅 Also, sometimes the app struggles with changing voices when you do the recast 🤔 Lately I cannot recast the voice so I am stuck with the default voice even after upgrading to premium

I travel frequently and Iisten to my scripts as I drive. I appreciate the work put in to help writers hear their work at an affordable price if not free. I look forward to updates. Nice work!
