## Transcript

When your PDF is longer than twelve pages, Offbook asks which pages you want to practice.

Offbook finds the scenes in your script. Click one to select its pages.

You can also click pages yourself, or type page ranges in the Pages box.

Then click Continue. Only the pages you choose get transcribed.

Offbook found every character on those pages. Each separate group of pages becomes its own scene, ready to rehearse.
