🧐 Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why are some lines highlighted differently?

A. The tool uses contextual highlighting. If your character name is at the beginning of a line (likely your dialogue), the entire line is highlighted for readability. If your name is mentioned elsewhere in a line (e.g., in another character's dialogue), only the name itself is highlighted to flag it as a cue or reference.

Q. Does this tool work with any script format?

A. It works best with plain text scripts where dialogue and action lines are separated by line breaks. You can copy and paste directly from most sources like PDFs or text editors. The tool processes the text line by line.

📚 Did You Know? The Art of Script Preparation

For decades, actors have spent hours with physical scripts and highlighters, meticulously marking their lines, cues, and stage directions. This process, known as script preparation or "script work," is crucial for understanding a character's journey and memorizing lines. While traditional methods are still widely used, digital tools like this highlighter streamline the initial, often tedious, task of simply finding one's own lines. This allows actors to save time and energy, focusing more on the creative aspects of performance, such as character analysis and emotional mapping, right from the start.
