LEAH watches the soundboard peak. LEAH There. It happened again. OMAR At exactly one seventeen. LEAH Play it back. Omar rewinds the recording. A low pulse fills the studio. OMAR That is not interference. --- 2. EXT. RADIO TOWER - LATER Leah and Omar climb through wet grass toward the blinking tower. LEAH If it repeats, mark the interval. OMAR If it answers us? LEAH Then we decide whether to answer back. ``` Useful output, not a score ## What this tool gives you ### Role-specific scene packet Filter to every scene with an explicit cue for one character, then keep only the material needed for the session. ### Cue-practice version Mask the selected role's dialogue while preserving scene partners, cues, and optional directions. ### Portable plain text Copy or download clean sides that are easy to annotate, email, print, or paste into rehearsal notes. ## How to use it 1. 1 ### Add the Fountain draft Paste screenplay text or choose a local .fountain or .txt file. Parsing stays in the browser. 2. 2 ### Choose a role and scenes Filter by explicit character cues, then select all or only the scenes planned for rehearsal. 3. 3 ### Pick full or cue-practice sides Keep the full scene or mask the selected role's dialogue, then copy or download the packet. ## How to read the result Character matching uses explicit Fountain cues and dialogue attribution, so a person mentioned only in action will not create a role. Review dual dialogue and intentional cue-name variants before sharing a final cast packet. ## Questions writers ask ### What is cue-practice mode? It keeps the surrounding scene and other characters' dialogue but replaces the selected role's dialogue blocks with a YOUR LINE marker, creating a simple line-rehearsal prompt. ### Can I remove action directions? Yes. Turn off directions to keep character cues, dialogue, and parentheticals only. Keep them on when the physical context matters to the read. ### Does Inkwell store the rehearsal packet? No. Parsing, filtering, copying, and file creation happen locally in the browser. The source draft and generated text are not uploaded. ## Defined in the glossary - [Sides](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/sides) [Excerpt pages of a script prepared for a specific day, audition, or work session — usually only the scenes and lines the actors or crew need, not the full book.](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/sides) - [Character Cue](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/character-cue) [The speaker’s name above a dialogue block, conventionally in uppercase — the label that tells the reader who is talking.](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/character-cue) - [Dialogue](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/dialogue) [The words characters speak in a story, play or film.
