"A book read by a thousand different people
is a thousand different books."
— Andrei Tarkovsky
AI-powered table reads for writers.
macOS · Apple Silicon · Runs locally · Free & open source
Drop in a PDF. Scriptable parses characters, dialogue, slug lines, parentheticals, and stage directions automatically.
You can audition and select voices from Scriptable's open source engines, upload your own sample, or let Claude be your casting director. With Cast and Direct, Claude reads the entire script, and analyzes subtext, arcs, and relationships. Claude then chooses a distinct voice for every character and generates line-by-line expressive read modulating the pacing and tone to create a dynamic performance.
Hear a full table read with cinematic voices. Swap a casting choice. Bump the emotion on a scene. Re-render one line. Iterate until it sounds right. Experience the thrill and instructive terror of hearing your work read aloud.
A table read reveals what the page hides. You hear the rhythm break. You feel the scene that runs too long. You catch the line that sounds clever in your head but dies in the room.
Organizing a real table read takes actors, schedules, a room, and a favor economy. Most scripts never get read aloud before they land on someone's desk.
Scriptable lets you hear your work before you submit.
Everything runs locally on your Mac. Your scripts never leave your machine.
Free download for any Mac with Apple Silicon.
AI casting requires a Claude API key — about two cents per script.
