Line memorization app for actors
Learning lines, made easier
Upload a scene and start running it. No lines to type in, no parts to record yourself. When the scene ends, you see the words you dropped.
In rehearsal · launching soon on iPhone
From script to stage-ready
Four scenes, no intermission.
Scene 1 · Upload
Hand over the script
A PDF or plain text file is all it takes. Any script, stage or screen – Call for Line finds the scenes, the characters, and the lines, and has you ready to run.
Scene 2 · Cast yourself
Take your role
Choose the character you're playing. Every other part goes to the company: six distinct voices, assigned to fit, each with adjustable speed. Or record a real person's lines and hear them instead.
Scene 3 · Rehearse
Run the scene
One tap and you're in – the app remembers how you like to work. Your scene partner reads the cue, you say your line, and it knows when you've finished speaking because it listens to your room, not a stopwatch.
Scene 4 · Results
See how you did
Every run comes back scored for accuracy, word by word, with your trouble spots flagged for retry. Scene after scene, the app tracks your progress until the words are truly yours – and tells you when you're off book.
Recorded Voices
Rehearse with the voice you'll hear on stage.
The built-in voices are good. Your actual scene partner is better. Record their lines and Call for Line plays them back in rehearsal, cue after cue, any night you need them.
- Record a line at a time, right inside rehearsal
- Studio mode captures a whole scene in one sitting
- Or upload a recording and it aligns itself to the script, line by line
Scored to the word
Know exactly what you know
After every run, each line comes back marked word by word: what you nailed, what you swapped, what you dropped. Set your goal anywhere from 50 to 100 percent, in 5 percent steps, and raise it as opening night gets closer.
And when the microphone mishears you, one tap on Word Perfect grants the line full credit. The score should measure your memory, not your microphone.
The badge lands when your last three runs hit your goal.

Memorizing lines isn’t a memory problem.
Anyone who’s ever sat alone with a script knows the trick to getting off book isn’t reading the lines over and over. It’s hearing your cue, feeling the beat land, and answering. That’s the part you can’t practice with flashcards or a recording of yourself reading both parts.
Call for Line does the setting up for you. Drop in your script, choose your role, and start. It reads every other part aloud in a voice that isn’t yours, then marks the words you missed. Ask for a line and only the words you need come back.
It’s built for the way actors actually work: at the kitchen table the night before a callback, on the train to a fitting, in the green room ten minutes before places. A line memorization app that earns its place in your bag.
You do the acting. It does the paperwork.
