Importing a script

Scene Voice reads PDFs and Final Draft (.fdx) files. Use the share sheet from any app (Mail, Files, Messages) and choose Scene Voice, or import from inside the app’s library. A locked PDF asks for its password once. Casting happens by itself; change anyone on the Cast tab.

Why self tape uses headphones

The other characters play in your ears, so the microphone hears only you, and they’re mixed into the video afterwards at full quality, at the level you choose. Put your headphones in and press Start self tape: the app looks for them for up to ten seconds on its own. If it still can’t find them, use Settings → Report a bug so we can see why.

Something looks wrong?

The fastest route is inside the app: Settings → Report a bug. It attaches a record of what the app was doing, never your script’s words or character names, and shows you all of it before anything is sent.

A name is said wrong

On the Cast tab, open Pronunciations, tap the name, spell it the way it sounds and press Hear it until it’s right. Every voice says it that way, in every script.

Does my script leave my phone?

Not unless you send it. Nothing is uploaded and there’s no account; the only copies that go anywhere are the ones you export or share yourself. If you turn on cloud voices or an online service, a script marked Confidential is still never sent to them. Settings → Privacy → What has left this device lists every request the app makes to the internet, so you can check.

Moving to a new phone

Settings → Save a backup… makes one file with your scripts, their casting, notes, pronunciations and the lines you recorded. Open it on the new device with Restore from a backup… Self-tape takes are not in it, so save or send the ones you want first. Keys for cloud services and PDF passwords aren’t included, so add those again.
