What files can I upload?
PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, and plain text—or paste pages directly into the reader.
How does automatic casting work?
Table Read considers character descriptions, dialogue, age, tone, and accent, then assigns a distinct studio voice. You can change any choice.
What counts as a page?
Roughly one minute of generated audio. Replaying something you already created does not use more credits.
Can I export or share a read?
Yes. Paid plans can export individual scenes or the complete performance as an audio file.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account in one click. If you cancel during the trial, you are not charged.
