# Overview

General overview of Quickture Reader and how it works.

Quickture Reader takes a screenplay PDF and transforms it into a realistic audio performance with distinct voices for each character. Think of it as an instant table read you can listen to in your car or at the gym.

Upload your script, pick voices for your characters, and listen in time with the screenplay to review a draft.

## Who It's For

-   **Writers** who want to hear their dialogue read out loud
    
-   **Directors** preparing for production
    
-   **Producers** reviewing scripts
    
-   **Anyone** who learns better by listening than reading, or has a long commute!
    

## How It Works

1.  **Import** your screenplay as a PDF of FDX
    
2.  **Pick voices** for your characters from a library of 35+ professional voice actors
    
3.  **Listen** while the script highlights in sync with the audio
    
4.  **Annotate** your script with notes
    
5.  **Chat** with our AI about your script, ask questions, and add notes hands-free
    

Quickture Reader uses AI to analyze each character's dialogue and select appropriate voices. The system identifies characters, understands their personality and speaking style, and matches them with voices optimized for dialogue performance.
