ActorCue — For Actors
Free on iPhone · App StoreVoice-triggered technology is changing the way actors rehearse. Hands-free rehearsal tools remove physical distraction from the creative process.
Voice-cue rehearsal apps use on-device speech recognition to listen for a specific word or phrase — your "cue word" — at the end of each of your lines. When the app detects that word, it automatically plays the next reader line without you lifting a finger. The result is a seamless, reactive rehearsal experience that closely mirrors real scene work.
Modern smartphones are capable of highly accurate on-device speech recognition, which means the system works even without an internet connection and with low latency. The technology that makes this possible has become reliable enough for professional use.
ActorCue offers three distinct modes to match where you are in rehearsal: Cue Mode triggers each line individually on your spoken cue; Performance Mode runs the full scene end-to-end; and Tap Mode lets you advance lines manually at your own pace — useful in quiet environments or for complex scenes that need more time.
