- Actors rehearsing lines on iPhone or iPad
- Worth noticing
- The site says speech recognition runs on-device and scripts, recordings, and self-tapes stay on the device.
Field notes
The rehearsal controls include standalone voice commands and a headphone-button sequence: one press pauses or continues, two move forward, and three go back. The site also describes importing scripts from scans, photos, PDFs, Word files, or pasted text. SideTape is presented as an invited TestFlight beta, with support listed for iOS and iPadOS 26 or later.
