A table read of your screenplay, one voice per character

Bring in a PDF, Final Draft or Fountain file and press play. Each character gets their own voice, and a narrator reads the action.

Between them: a single sheet of paper.
DELIA
It says here you want to borrow four hundred thousand dollars.
RUBEN
It does say that.
DELIA
Against a food truck.
RUBEN
(correcting, gently)
Against a fleet.
DELIA
You have one truck.
RUBEN
I have one truck now.
Delia turns the sheet ninety degrees, as if the numbers might read differently sideways.
DELIA
Mr. Ortiz, do you know what my job is?
RUBEN
Say no.
DELIA
My job is to say no in a way that makes the bank sound reasonable.
RUBEN
And how am I doing?
DELIA
You're making it very easy.
The door opens. MARGUERITE, 60s, sharp as a filing cabinet, does not knock and does not sit.
MARGUERITE
Delia. The Vasquez file.
DELIA
I'm with someone.
MARGUERITE
You're with a food truck.
RUBEN
A fleet.
Marguerite looks at Ruben properly for the first time.
MARGUERITE
Say that again.
RUBEN
It's a fleet. There's one of them so far. That's how fleets start.

This is a sample scene. You don’t need an account to hear it.

Can I do a table read of my screenplay for free?

Yes. A free account hears about 150 pages a month in studio voices, up to 25 pages a day. That’s a feature-length script a month. Your browser’s own voices are unlimited on both plans, and Paid has no daily cap.

How does an AI table read work?

Scriptroom reads your script aloud as a screenplay, with a voice for each character and a narrator for the scene headings and action. You bring in your script and press play. The cue names aren’t read out before every line. You can change any character’s voice on their card in the Cast tab.

Can text to speech read a screenplay in different voices?

Yes, if the tool reads screenplay format. Scriptroom does. It finds each character from the cues and gives them a voice as soon as they have a line, so you don’t mark who’s speaking.

Which script files can I use?

PDF, Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain, or paste the script in. Scanned PDFs can’t be read. If you can’t select the words in your PDF, it’s a scan.

Do the voices act?

No. They read your lines straight, the way a cast does at a first table read. That’s what you want for rhythm, length and the line that clunks. They won’t find the subtext for you.

Can I send a table read to someone else?

Yes, on Paid. Share your script by link and your friend hears it on their phone, one voice per character. Listening needs no account. If you let them leave notes, they sign in only when they leave one, on the line it’s about.

Does Scriptroom change my script?

No. It reads the pages you gave it, as written. It doesn’t write lines, and the voices don’t add any.

Is my script used for training?

No. Nothing you write is retained for training. The terms say so in writing.
