It includes a cue-aware AI scene partner that waits for the user to finish speaking before delivering the next line, plus a self-tape mode that records with the front or rear camera.

Description
Linus is a line reader for actors that helps you learn and memorize lines in context, rehearse scripts with a cue-aware AI scene partner, and record self-tapes without finding a reader. Use the same script and character setup across iPhone, iPad, Android, and the web.
LEARN LINES FROM YOUR OWN SCRIPT
Upload a PDF or another common script format. Linus handles casting notes, stage directions, and imperfect formatting, then turns the material into a scene you can actively rehearse.

Choose your role and assign voices to the other characters, or record their lines in your own voice. Break longer material into sections, repeat difficult exchanges, loop the moments that need work, and listen through the full scene. Instead of memorizing isolated words, you learn each line with the cue, timing, and dialogue around it.
Choose from 100+ character voices. Script setup and speech recognition support 38+ languages; available voices and accents vary by language and device.
REHEARSE WITH A CUE-AWARE AI SCENE PARTNER
Basic playback keeps moving whether you are ready or not. Linus listens while you speak and waits until you finish before delivering the next character’s line. The scene responds to your timing, so you can pause, find the moment, and rehearse without racing a fixed recording.
Run the whole scene, isolate a section, hear a table read, or repeat one exchange until it feels natural. Use the same script and character setup as your preparation changes from learning lines to working the scene.
SELF-TAPE WITHOUT A READER
Move from rehearsal to self-tape mode with the same script, scene partner, and cue timing. Record with the front or rear camera, use voice commands for hands-free takes, review your recordings, and share a finished take when you are ready.
