Table Read

VENDOR: A name, a colon, then the line.
CUSTOMER: Every name gets its own voice.

VENDOR
Or the name in CAPITALS on its own line,
with the speech underneath, screenplay style.

Any line without a name is narration.
(Stage directions in parentheses are skipped
unless you switch them on under Voices.)

Open file takes .md, .txt and .fountain files, or drop one onto this page. Markdown marks (headings, bold, bullets, links) are stripped before reading, so **VENDOR:** Hello reads as Vendor.

Names are matched ignoring case, so Vendor and VENDOR are the same person. Voice picks are remembered by name, in this browser only.

Other apps can send scripts straight to the Inbox above: ChatGPT, Claude, an iPhone Shortcut, Make, or a command line. They need the same key. The how-to lives with the source.

Tap any line on the Read tab to start from there. The screen stays awake while reading.

On iPhone, more voices live under Settings, Accessibility, Spoken Content, Voices. Hear nothing? Check the ring/silent switch and the volume.
