Sides do not always come as a PDF. They come as Final Draft or Fountain files, photos of printed pages, or text in an email. Offbook takes all of them, and you can paste a scene straight in.

## Transcript

Offbook reads more than PDFs. Drop a Final Draft, Fountain, or text file, or several photos of your pages.

No file? Click paste script text, then paste your scene into the box.

Then click Create from text. Offbook finds every character and line.

Choose the character you'll play. Here, that's Cecily.

Then pick a voice for your scene partner, and click Use these voices.

Your pasted scene is ready to rehearse, just like an upload.

Read the guide: [Upload your first script](https://www.offbook.com/help-center/get-started/upload-your-first-script).
