What you can upload
- PDF (.pdf): up to 50 MB and 50 pages, one file at a time.
- Images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg): up to 10 MB each. You can upload multiple images at once for multi-page scripts; they're ordered by filename automatically.
- Text file (.txt): one file at a time.
- Pasted text: paste your script straight into the text box, up to about 10,000 words.
Tip: Uploading photos of a paper script? Name the files in page order (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg…) so the pages stay in sequence, and make sure the text is well lit and readable.
How to upload
- Sign in and you'll land on the upload screen (or click New).
- Drag and drop your file(s), click to browse, or paste your script text.
- Wait a moment while Offbook processes the script.
What happens next
Offbook's AI reads your script and turns it into a structured scene:
- Each character is detected automatically, with their lines grouped under their name.
- Stage directions are recognized separately so they don't get read as dialogue.
- A title and summary are generated for the scene automatically.
You'll then move straight into scene setup, where you choose your role and assign voices.
A note on formats
Almost any standard script layout works: screenplays, stage plays, sides, even self-written dialogue. The AI needs to be able to tell who's speaking, so scripts where character names appear before their lines work best. If your upload fails or lines come out wrong, see Script upload problems.
