Practice lines online until they are yours.
Your own lines hide behind their first letters. Your scene partner's stay readable, and still read to you.
You said you would be here an hour ago.

Then say something else. Anything else.
- yours - hover to check
B I c b. I a c b, b s h t.
Hover a covered line to see it. Rehearsing lines here needs nothing but the page - no microphone, no account.
Recall it, then check it
Re-reading a scene feels like learning it. The script rehearsal that actually sticks is the one where the words are covered and you have to find them.
Paste it and pick your part
A scene with character names, or a monologue with none. Say which part is yours and the rest stays as it is - only your own lines are ever covered.
You said you would be here.
I know what you are going to say.
Cover your lines
One control, five steps: three letters of every word, then two, then first letters only, then fewer of them, then nothing. Start where the scene is hard.

Say it out loud
Say the line out loud and the words open behind you as you go, so you see what you got right without being shown what comes next. No microphone? Hover to check instead.
Listening - say your line.I know what you are g t s.
Your part goes dark. The scene keeps going.
Scene practice, not a page of blanks: a line learner that takes your sides as a PDF, plays your reader's audio, and lets you edit the scene.
Your sides, as a PDF
Upload the audition PDF you were sent - up to ten pages - and it pulls the dialogue out.
Someone to read with
Record the other character's lines yourself, or upload audio you already have. They play on cue.
A script editor, built in
Fix a typo, split a line, reorder the scene, or hand a line to the other character.
Directions are not lines
A stage direction in brackets is never covered, and never a line you have to say.
Your script stays here
Nothing you paste is sent anywhere. The one thing that ever leaves your machine is a PDF, if you upload one.
Free, no account
No sign-up, no trial, no card. Open the page and start.
A speech with no character names still imports
Paste it as it is written. Every line becomes yours, so every line can be covered.
Shown with only the first letter of each word visible - "To be, or not to be, that is the question:"
First letters only - the classic way to learn a speech, with the punctuation and the length of every word still in front of you.
Learning them is half of it
Once the lines are in, go on to a full line rehearsal: your scene partner's lines play from audio you recorded, the prompter follows your voice, and you can record the take with the camera on.
Learning something that is not a scene - a speech, a presentation, exam notes? Our memorizer for any text is built for that instead.
Learning lines, answered
What people ask before they paste a scene in.
- How do I practice lines online?
- Paste your scene, choose which character is yours, and turn on line learning. Your own lines are covered so you say them from memory; the other character's lines stay readable, and play back as audio if you have added it. Hover a line to check yourself.
- What is the first-letter method for learning lines?
- You replace each word with its first letter and read from that. The rhythm and the shape of the line stay in front of you while the words themselves come from memory, which is what makes it practice rather than re-reading. It is the middle step of the five here.
- Is there a script rehearser online?
- Yes, and it is free. This is a website rather than an app you install: open the page, paste your scene, choose your part and start rehearsing in the browser. Nothing to download, no account to make, no card. The script stays on your machine and so does the rehearsal.
- Is there a practice lines app for auditions?
- This is one, with nothing to install. Paste your audition sides, cover your own lines and practice them against your scene partner's audio. It works the same way on a phone, where a peek button takes the place of hovering.
- Can I learn a monologue with it?
- Yes. Paste a speech or a poem with no character names and it imports as a single part, one line per line you paste. Everything is yours, so everything can be hidden.
- Do I need a microphone?
- No. Reading down the list and checking yourself needs nothing but the page. A microphone only matters if you want the lines to advance as you speak them.
- Is the line learner free?
- Yes, and there is no account to make. Paste a scene and start.
- Do you keep my script?
- No. Your scene, your audio and your recordings stay in your browser. The one thing that ever leaves your device is a PDF you choose to upload, and only long enough to read the dialogue out of it.
Put your own scene in
Paste it, pick your character, and start covering lines. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
