Useful output, not a score
See a fast-to-slow planning range based on editable dialogue and direction reading speeds.
Estimate each scene's read time and cumulative position so breaks and room bookings are easier to place.
Compare approximate spoken time for the most dialogue-heavy characters before assigning or scheduling readers.
Paste a full draft or selected scenes. The browser counts dialogue and action separately.
Adjust dialogue pace, decide whether directions are read aloud, and add setup and break time.
Use the planning range, scene timings, and reader load to book the room and share a practical schedule.
No. Page count is a rough screen-runtime convention with wide variation. This planner uses actual dialogue and action word counts to estimate a live read-through, then adds explicit setup and breaks.
Start near 130–140 words per minute for a natural read, then move slower for rehearsal, unfamiliar material, or frequent discussion and faster for a polished cast.
Include directions for story clarity and early development; omit or shorten them when the cast already knows the material and dialogue flow is the focus.
Create actor-ready rehearsal sides from Fountain: filter by character, select exact scenes, include directions, or mask the role's lines for cue practice.
