What it does
Sidesly is a dedicated AI line reader for film, television, and theatre actors. Upload PDF or TXT sides, pick your role, and run lines out loud with responsive cue partners that listen and advance when you pause. It works in a phone or desktop browser, is free to try, and keeps audition sides private. It is a rehearsal backup, not a replacement for human scene partners.
