Built for the way actors actually rehearse
Every feature an actor needs to memorize lines – from script import to scored results.
Call for Line is a line memorization app for stage and screen actors. Upload any script, choose your role, and rehearse with a virtual scene partner that reads every other part aloud, listens to your lines, and shows you exactly where you went off book.
Import
Any script, any format
13+ script formats
Stage plays, screenplays, TV scripts, musicals, radio drama, audition sides, and more. Drop in a PDF or plain text file and Call for Line parses it into scenes, characters, and lines.
Automatic character detection
The app identifies every speaking role in your script, including abbreviated names and compound speakers. Assign yourself to a character with a single tap.
Edit after import
Fix a misattributed line, correct a typo, or reassign dialogue to a different character. Every line is editable after parsing.
Scene fixing
Something off about how scenes were split? Describe the problem in plain language and the app restructures the scene for you. Merge scenes, split them, or retitle them.
Rehearse
Two modes, one goal: off book
Standard mode
Run the full scene with your scene partner reading every other part aloud. Six distinct voices bring the other characters to life. When it's your turn, the app listens and records.
Study mode
Review your cues and lines with a flashcard interface. Tap to flip between the cue line and your response. A 3D card flip makes the review feel natural.
Call for Line
Stuck? The app feeds you a few context words to jog your memory. Configure how many words you see before and after the gap, from a gentle nudge to a generous hint.
Speed and timing controls
Adjust how fast your scene partner reads (0.75x to 2.0x) and how long the app waits after you stop speaking before advancing (0.2s to 3.0s). Show or hide your lines during rehearsal.
Score
Know exactly where you stand
Word-level accuracy
After each rehearsal, see how closely you matched the script. Scoring uses word-by-word comparison so nothing slips through.
Diff highlighting
The results screen shows your transcription alongside the script text, with differences marked in color. You see exactly which words you missed, added, or changed.
Adjustable accuracy goals
Set your target at 50%, 70%, 85%, or 100%. Lines that meet your goal are marked as passed. Lines below it are flagged for retry.
Retry failed lines
Don't re-run the whole scene. Retry only the lines you missed and watch your score climb.
Mid-rehearsal check
Tap to see your running score while still rehearsing. Get a line-by-line breakdown without waiting for the final results.
