FAQ

What is Muse?

Muse is a purpose-built app created specifically to help actors memorize and learn their lines efficiently. With a user-friendly interface, the app allows you to easily input your lines as well as your partner's. It intelligently waits for you to finish speaking before moving on to the next line, providing a seamless rehearsal experience.

Can I import my scripts?

Muse does not currently support script imports.

What is Text-to-Speech synthesis and how does it work?

Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis uses AI to convert written text into lifelike speech, mimicking the natural cadence and tone of human voices. It's an ideal tool for actors seeking a virtual scene partner, allowing them to simulate various voices based on gender, tone, or emotion. Listen to a few samples here to see how the voices sound.

Is the information I synthesize safe?

Yes, the information you synthesize using Muse is handled with care and kept confidential.

Are the recordings I make safe?

Yes, all recordings made within Muse are stored locally on your device and can be accessed in the Files app. This means that your recordings are not transmitted to external servers or cloud storage. You have full control over your recordings and their storage.

My friend sent me audio or a Muse Scene file. How do I import it?
