Scriptlight

Upload a screenplay PDF and watch it unspool as a cinematic teleprompter. Scene headings glow warm for day, dim for night. Dialogue centers like subtitles; action flows as prose; transitions drift right like closing cards.

Files are read on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Looking for scripts to try? Browse the Film and Television Script Archive at the Internet Archive or just search around. The PDF with Text download tends to work best.

Turn off auto-scroll and read at your own pace. Swipe, drag, or use the mouse wheel to move through the script. Scene reveals still play as text passes the center line.

Have different voices read the action and each character's dialogue aloud as the script scrolls. Off by default.

Want a bigger cast? On iOS, download more voices in Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices. On Mac, it's System Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › System Voice › Manage Voices. New voices appear in the dropdowns below on next open.

Four looks to choose from. Changes apply immediately and persist across sessions.

Optional ambient music while you read. Streams live stations from the free, public Radio Browser community database. Quiets automatically when dialogue is being read aloud.

Works best with standard screenplay formatting (Final Draft, Fountain, Celtx exports). Scanned-image PDFs won't be readable — the text needs to be selectable.

Long monologues, page-spanning dialogue, and (MORE) / (CONT'D) bookkeeping are handled automatically.

Tag each character to help Auto-Cast and Re-Roll pick matching voices.

Child voices aren't offered natively by browsers — Scriptlight approximates them by raising the pitch of a female voice. Tags save with this script and re-apply next time.
