Go to My Scripts

Practice session

A text-based session for reading through your script at your own pace. No microphone needed. Works across normal, first letters, first letters in caps, blanks, and character notes modes.

Start via the Practice button on any script card.

Rehearsal session

The interactive audio session. CueMi plays the other characters' lines aloud and listens for you to deliver yours. It moves to the next line when it detects your cue.

Requires: a character selected, voices assigned, and audio generated. Start via the Rehearse button on a script card.

Character Voices

Assign voices to each character in your script and let CueMi generate the audio.

• From My Scripts: three-dot menu → Choose Voices
• Browse by category (masculine / feminine), test before selecting
• Use Random Assignment to auto-assign voices to all characters at once

Upload Script

Upload a PDF screenplay or stageplay. CueMi reads through it and identifies your characters and dialogue.

Upload a script

Script Builder

Create a script from scratch. Add scenes, characters, and lines manually. Useful for monologues, sides, or material that does not parse well from PDF.

Open Script Builder

Script Metrics

Detailed stats per script: total time practised, accuracy, session trends, and a scene-by-scene recall breakdown.

Find it via the Metrics link on each script card in My Scripts.

What CueMi accepts

• PDF files up to 10MB
• Standard screenplay and stageplay formats work best
• The PDF needs to have selectable text, not a scanned image, for the parser to work

What happens after you upload

1. CueMi reads through the PDF and identifies characters and dialogue
2. You can review and correct the parsed content on the script edit page
3. Once you assign voices and save, CueMi generates audio in the background
4. When audio is ready, the Rehearse button activates on your script card

Using the Script Builder instead

If you do not have a PDF, or your script parses badly, use the Script Builder. Add scenes, characters, and lines manually. Useful for self-written pieces, audition sides, or anything where you want precise control over how the script is structured.

Editing after upload

On any script card in My Scripts, open the three-dot menu and select Edit Script. You can:

• Correct character names and dialogue
• Add, remove, or reorder lines
• Add or adjust action lines and scene headers
• Regenerate audio after making changes

Two types of session

• Practice session: Text-based. Work through the script in different display modes at your own pace. No microphone needed. A good starting point before you go into the audio rehearsal.
• Rehearsal session: Audio-based. CueMi reads the other characters' parts aloud and waits for you to deliver yours. Uses your microphone to detect when you have spoken your cue and moves to the next line. Requires voices to be assigned and audio to be generated first.

Practice modes and the learning arc

CueMi moves you through a natural progression from first read to full recall. The modes step up in difficulty:

• Normal: Full text visible. Start here when working on a new script.
• First Letters: Only the first letter of each word shows. Prompts recall without giving it all away.
• First Letters (Caps): Same as above but in capitals. A notch harder.
• Blanks: The text is hidden and replaced with blank spaces showing the shape of your lines but not the words.
• Cue Practice: The full rehearsal mode. CueMi plays the other characters' lines and listens for your cue before moving on. This is the main mode for getting off-book.
• Hidden: No text at all. Full recall from memory.
• Character Notes: A separate session type for working through your character's objectives, motivations, and scene-by-scene analysis. No line delivery required.

If you have set a goal, CueMi plans which mode to use on each day of your schedule automatically.

Session briefing

Before every session starts, CueMi shows a briefing screen. This tells you:

• Which character you are playing and which mode the session uses
• Why CueMi has suggested this session (e.g. "Scene 3 recall is at 41%")
• Which scene the session is focused on, if any
• Your scene objective, if character notes are available for this script
• A point of concentration you can select to carry into the session

Press Start when you are ready.

Scene selection

At the start of a rehearsal session, a scene selection modal appears. You can choose to work through the whole script or focus on a specific scene. If CueMi has flagged a particular scene as needing work, it will pre-select that scene for you.

You can change scene during a session via the settings.

Controls during a practice session

Controls during a rehearsal session

Action lines and stage directions

By default, when CueMi reaches an action line or stage direction, it pauses and displays the text for a calculated reading time before moving on automatically. This gives you a moment to absorb what is happening in the scene before the next line plays.

If you would rather skip action lines entirely and go straight to character dialogue, toggle the skip option in the session settings. Scene and act headers are always skipped automatically regardless of this setting.

How line detection works

In cue practice mode, CueMi listens via your microphone and compares what you say against your script using fuzzy matching. You do not need to be word-perfect. When it detects a close enough match to your line, it advances to the next cue and plays the next character's audio.

If CueMi does not pick up your line, you can manually advance using the controls. For best results: use a quiet space and make sure your microphone is working before you start a session.

After a session: the debrief

When a session ends, CueMi shows a debrief with:

• Session duration, lines rehearsed, accuracy, and mastery percentage
• Scene-by-scene recall shown as colour-coded bars: green for strong, yellow for needs work, red for weak
• CueMi's recommended next session and the reason it has suggested it
• A notes field where you can record anything you want to remember from this session

From the debrief you can start the next session straight away or return to the Home dashboard.

Loop mode

If you start a timed session from the Home dashboard, loop mode runs automatically. When the session ends, CueMi restarts it with the same settings. Useful when you want to run the same scene or section several times in a row.

Quick Exercises

On My Scripts, each script card has a Quick Exercises dropdown alongside the main session buttons. These are shorter sessions at three difficulty levels: Easy, Mix, and Hard. Useful when you want a fast run-through without following the planned schedule.

Setting a goal

On My Scripts, expand the goal section on any script card. Choose a goal type and set a date:

• Audition: Working towards a specific audition. You can add a callback date separately.
• Performance: Preparing for a production or shoot.
• Maintenance: Keeping a role fresh with no hard deadline.
• First Read: Just exploring the material. CueMi treats this as read-through only.

You can also set the hours you are available to practise, so CueMi plans sessions within your day.

What CueMi builds

After saving a goal, CueMi works out how many sessions you need, how long each one should be, and which modes to use on each day. It follows a structured actor learning arc: reading and familiarisation first, then first letters and blanks, then cue practice and full hidden recall. Character notes sessions are woven in at appropriate intervals.

The plan adjusts automatically if you update your goal date or miss sessions.

Seeing today's sessions

Your suggested sessions for today appear as action cards on the Home page. Each card shows the session type, the mode, the scene focus if any, and how long it should take. Click a card to start that session directly.

Adjusting your plan

Update your goal date or type at any time from the goal section on your script card in My Scripts. The plan rebuilds around the new information.

Home dashboard stats

On the Home page, CueMi shows:

• Your current streak (consecutive days with at least one session completed)
• XP and level earned through completing sessions
• Weekly sessions progress
• Your active roles with colour-coded scene recall dots so you can see at a glance where recall is strong and where it needs work

Per-script metrics

On My Scripts, click the Metrics link on any script card. This opens a detailed page with:

• Total time practised and total number of sessions
• Accuracy and recall trends over time
• Scene-by-scene breakdown of recall strength
• Recommendations based on where recall is weakest

Session debrief

At the end of every session, CueMi shows a breakdown of that session specifically: duration, lines covered, accuracy, and mastery. Scene recall is shown as colour-coded bars so you can see immediately where you are strong and where more work is needed.

Where to set voices

• My Scripts → three-dot menu → Choose Voices
• During a rehearsal session → Settings → voice settings overlay

Use Test Voice to hear a sample before saving your choice.

Browsing and selecting voices

On the Character Voices page, click Browse Voices on any character card. A modal opens where you can:

• Search voices by name
• Filter by category: Masculine, Feminine, or All
• Preview a voice with the Test button before committing

Use Random Assignment at the top of the page to auto-assign voices to all characters at once. A quick way to get started if you are not fussed about specific voice choices.

Audio generation

After saving voices, CueMi generates audio for every character line in the script. This runs in the background and takes a few minutes depending on length. You can navigate away while it processes. When it finishes, your script card will show "Audio Ready" and the Rehearse button activates.

Changing voices later

Go back to Choose Voices from the three-dot menu, make your changes, and save. CueMi regenerates only the audio that has changed, not the whole script.

In-session voice adjustments

During a rehearsal session, the Settings button opens a voice settings overlay. Use this to adjust how characters sound without leaving the session and without regenerating audio.
