General annotation apps weren't built for sound departments — so this one was.

Sound Script gives you the markup tools you actually use at the console, right on your script.

Sound Script on iPad — tools designed specifically for your Sound Script
The toolkit

Every mark a sound designer actually makes.

Fourteen tools, tuned for the way you read a script at the console. Nothing generic. Nothing you'll have to work around.

DCA Assignments

Mark DCA assignments right where they happen in the script. Choose from plain or circled numbers.

Console Cues

Place and number your console cues directly on the script. Choose sequential or page-based numbering.

SFX Cues

A separate cue track for your QLab or playback system, independent of your console cues.

Cue Links

Draw lines or brackets from cues to their exact go-points in the script.

Band Levels

Place fader-level markers where band levels change. Pair with symbols for swells and fades.

Verb Levels

Mark reverb in and out points, or level changes as needed.

Highlights

Colour-mark dialogue, lyrics, or stage directions so they stand out at a glance.

Notes

Floating text notes for reminders, warnings, or operator instructions. Plain text or boxed.

Flags

Drop colour-coded markers at key moments. Open the Flags list to jump straight back.

Shapes

Rectangles, circles, lines, arrows and brackets.

Symbols

Standby and go markers, mic kills, swell and fade arrows.

Freehand Drawing

Sketch, underline, write, or scribble. Thin, medium or thick stroke widths.

Show Mode

When it's showtime, hit Show and focus on the mix.

Full-screen performance view, editing tools hidden. Just the script, your cues, and the next call. Flags and freehand are still at hand for live notes.

  • Page turning via swipe, arrow keys, Bluetooth or MIDI
  • Quick flags + freehand still available live
Enter Show-Mode for a clean, full-screen performance view.
