MyLine - Memorize your lines

I’m in a musical where the lyrics are all in caps and centered while dialogue is in the “Characters: Line” format. It detected the song lyrics as character names and all the dialogue as stage direction which it skips. It would be nice if on import you could specify how your script is formatted (optionally) and it would be nice to toggle reading stage direction off and on. Seems like a good app but it won’t help me on this one. Bummer.

I’ve been trying to find an app for AGES that will just read the other lines for me, it’s been surprisingly difficult to find that and doesn’t make me pay for it. It takes some time to get started, but this app is super helpful after you’ve done all that plus it’s free. It lets you change the voices and has delays for your lines so you can read them. This app is perfect and just what I was looking for :)

I’ve tested every line memorization app, and trust me, there are a ton of them. My two favorites are LineLearner and this one. I’ve recently switched to this app because it offers almost every feature I could want – incredible AI voices, speed controls, ability to show the first letters of each word, intelligent cue detection and auto-playing, cast collaboration, etc. The developer has also been very responsive to my messages. And best of all, there are no recurring subscriptions. Who wants another subscription? As amazing and feature-packed as this app is, I still keep the simple LineLearner app around because of one thing – it’s reliable and failsafe. I love MyLine and will recommend it to every actor I know – this despite the many crashes and issues I ran into using it. The features are just so good, and I found ways around most of the issues I had. It was confusing to learn how to import lines and set up scenes in the way the app wants them, but once I was shown by the developer how to do it, it was a breeze. I still wish there was a faster way to import lines via speech and transcription. Right now it takes multiple taps per line to make that happen. The app crashes frequently when I press the “previous cue” button multiple times in a row to go back several lines. I found a workaround by pausing the audio, scrolling back, selecting where I wanted to start, and playing again. On very short lines, the AI voice often misses the first word or two or doesn’t read it out at all. There’s also not an option to hear your line read back after a gap, so you have a chance to recite it and then hear it. There’s also no CarPlay app or Mac version to sync up with. The interface could use improvement, but I’m told a redesign is on the way. All in all, get this app. Everything you’ll love about it will make up for every frustration you’ll find.
