AI TABLE READ
AI table read: what it means, and what Scriptfolk does today.
An AI table read turns a screenplay into audio. Software reads each character’s dialogue in the voice assigned to that character, so you can listen to your pages — or to an AI table read of a screenplay someone shared — instead of reading them to yourself.
How it works in Scriptfolk
- Add the script. Paste plain text, or upload a .fountain or .txt file up to 500 KB. Put each character name in capitals above that character’s dialogue. PDF and Final Draft files are not supported yet.
- Review the cast. Every speaking character becomes a cast member. Pick a voice for each one, or let Scriptfolk choose automatically. A reading holds up to 400 dialogue cues and 24 speaking characters; split a longer script into sections.
- Share when you are ready. Scripts and readings start private. Turn on link sharing for a finished reading, and anyone with the link can listen and follow the pages without an account. They can also forward it. Turn sharing off to stop new access.
What you will hear
Scriptfolk has three kinds of audio and labels each one before you generate or play.
- Device speech
- A preview in your browser’s own voices. It is not a saved reading.
- Demo tones
- Placeholder tones, not spoken dialogue. Demo readings are labeled before you generate or play.
- Saved speech
- A reading spoken by the voice service connected to your account, saved so you can play it again.
What it does not do
- No actors take part. Every voice is generated.
- It does not give notes, coverage, or a score. It reads the script as written.
