You can now set playback mode per line — not just for the whole script.
This one comes straight from real-world friction. You know the moment: you're mid-scene, totally in it, and then the reader either cuts you off on a long monologue or you really need to dial in the pacing for a specific line.
How it works
Tap any line in your script and select the playback mode that makes sense for it:
Speech (default) — moves to the next line when you finish saying your words. Best for most dialogue.
Timed — moves to the next line when a set duration runs out. A lifesaver for lines that are either very long or very short, where speech detection tends to get weird.
Your script-level playback mode still works the same way. Per line settings just let you override it wherever you need to.
How to access it
To set playback mode on a specific line:
Just tap the line and select Speech or Timed from the options.
To set playback mode at the script level:
Tap your script title
Tap the Playback tab
Change the playback mode
The update is live now. Go give that problem line the treatment it deserves.
Rooting for you,
