Best Line Learning AI Apps: Acting Pal, Muse, Rafy & Cold Read

There are many great tools for line learning on both Android and iOS.

Legacy line learning apps

Several legacy products are already familiar to many actors: Rehearsal Pro, Line Learner, Script Rehearser, etc.

However, most of these legacy tools dont leverage AI, and many dont include cue mode. Cold Read is really the only legacy tool that does; on Android, there are none that Im aware of (apart from Acting Pal)  Id love to know if Ive missed any: info@actingpal.com.

Early AI adopters in the acting community

A few talented actors identified early on that AI would be a game-changer for actors:

Why AI is a game-changer for line learning

AI introduces major benefits to the line-learning process:

• Easy line extraction: Before AI, actors had to record or manually type out every single line. With AI, you can simply upload a script, select your character, and have the dialogue automatically extracted for you. Its important, however, to ensure that any third-party provider operates in zero retention mode so your script data isnt used to train underlying models and isnt visible to any member of the teams behind the third party provider. Acting Pal uses Anthropic in zero retention mode, the only LLM provider were aware of that has been openly used by Agencies and Studios: https://www.claude.com/customers/jumpcut.

• AI-generated cue voices: AI can also generate realistic voices for other characters in the scene. Acting Pal offers a range of realistic voices with different genders, ages and accents.

Top AI line-learning apps to try

Here are some of the top AI apps to try:

Acting Pal (actingpal.com)  Offers 42 realistic AI voices to choose from. Includes a memorisation mode that transforms words into letters (a well-known memorisation technique  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8k_rNTDjJM). Acting Pal offers automatic script extraction so you dont have to record or rely on native transcription for every line. Acting Pal offers both cue mode (listens for when you finish a line) and non-stop mode (adds adjustable timed gaps) functionality. Available on iOS and Android. Acting Pal follows an AI Safety Pledge, committing to transparent AI use and robust safety measures  nothing you upload will ever be used for AI training.

Muse  Great quality cue mode and script extraction. Limited number of AI voices and no memorisation mode. iOS only.

Act on Cue  Web-based only. Offers solid cue mode and script extraction.

Rafy  Offers script extraction, AI voice options, and cue mode with Spanish language support. Includes a version of memorisation mode. Available on iOS (also offers a web-based app).

Final thoughts

There are many AI-based tools entering the space (weve identified roughly one new entrant every month for the past four months), and Id encourage all actors to try them out to see which they prefer. One thing to note: make sure any app you try offers a free trial.

At Acting Pal, we provide a 3-day free trial so actors can confirm that our tool genuinely helps them. If an app developer is confident in his/her product and genuinely cares about supporting actors, they should do the same  and if they dont, one should question why?
