Rehearsing

Rehearse vs. Listen

LineCue offers two ways to run through a scene:

• Rehearse: you read your character's lines out loud, and LineCue reads everyone else's, including stage directions if you've turned those on.
• Listen: sit back and let LineCue read the whole scene to you, every part included. Handy for getting a scene into your head on a commute, with lock-screen playback controls so you can keep it running in the background.

Script view vs. Teleprompter

Choose how your script is displayed while you rehearse:

• Script: a scrollable transcript. The current line is highlighted in the speaking character's colour. Tap it to reveal your line if you've hidden it.
• Teleprompter: a clean, full-screen display for when you want the words right in front of you, in Single Line or continuously Scrolling styles. Adjust text size, reading position, and even mirror the text for use with a teleprompter rig.

Hiding your lines

Two ways to keep yourself honest while you rehearse:

• Blur my lines: your dialogue is blurred out until you tap to reveal it, so you're not reading ahead by accident.
• First letter cueing: instead of blurring your line completely, LineCue shows just the first letter of each word as a memory prompt (for example, "H w y d?" for "How was your day?"). A gentler nudge than a full blackout.

Auto-Cue

Auto-Cue lets you rehearse hands-free. When it's your turn to speak, LineCue listens as you say your line and moves on by itself once you've finished, no tapping needed. Everyone else's lines advance automatically once they've finished speaking.

You can adjust how forgiving Auto-Cue is under Sensitivity:

• Strict: expects you to say nearly every word
• Balanced: the default, good for most rehearsals
• Relaxed: forgiving of a few missed words
• Loose: very forgiving, ideal for an early read-through when you're still learning the scene

You can always move to the next or previous line yourself, whether or not Auto-Cue is on.

Looping and countdowns

Turn on Loop to have a script start over automatically once it finishes, so you can run it again without stopping. Set a Countdown (off, 3, 5, or 10 seconds) to give yourself a moment to get ready before playback begins.
