Troubleshooting

My script opens, but a voice is missing or Play is greyed out

If your script opens in the reader but a character has no voice or Play is unavailable, start by checking the cast’s voice assignments.

Check the cast first

Open Voices and look through the character list. Every role you want the AI to read needs a selected voice. Choose AI to open the voice picker, select a voice, and confirm with Select Voice. A role set to Me is left for you to read aloud.

In the app · These are the Me and AI controls from character setup. A selected AI voice appears by name.

Check for conflicting character cues

The import check does not catch every formatting issue. If the same person appears twice in Voices, or dialogue is missing or appears as action, check the character cues in your source file. Older saved scripts may also contain conflicting cues.

Follow Fix character names before importing for formatting examples and instructions for importing a corrected copy. That guide also explains what to do if your next import is rejected. Keep your earlier saved copy until you have checked the corrected version.

If Play is still unavailable

If Play is still unavailable with a complete cast, open Help & Support with the script open and include a diagnostic report. Tell us which character is affected.
