For screenwriters

Write it properly, then watch it become a production

Screenwriting software mostly solves formatting, and formatting is the easy part. The hard parts are structure that holds, characters who stay consistent across a hundred and ten pages, and knowing whether the second act sags before a reader tells you it does.

This is built around those. The beat board holds the turning points, the character bible constrains new scenes to voices already established, and coverage reads the draft against the rubric an actual reader uses.

Then the script keeps going. When it locks, it becomes the source the breakdown, schedule and budget derive from — so the writing is the start of the production rather than a document handed over at the end of one.

How a draft comes together

Structure, draft, polish, assess — with each stage aware of the others.

  1. 01
    Beat board

    Turning points laid out visually, where a weak midpoint is obvious before it becomes forty pages of second act.

  2. 02
    Character profiles

    A character bible new scenes are checked against, rather than each scene being written in isolation.

  3. 03
    Script editor

    Industry-standard formatting in 17 languages, with margins native to each rather than an English template.

  4. 04
    Dialogue polish

    Line-level work against the voice already established for that character.

  5. 05
    Script coverage

    Logline, synopsis and graded categories — reading your own script the way a reader will, before someone else does.

Writing in your own language, properly

Screenplays are generated and formatted natively in 17 languages including ten Indian languages. Not a font selection — correct screenplay layout and margins per language.

An honest comparison: Scrite's phonetic input is a better pure typing experience for Indian-language writers than ours. Type “kahani” and see कहानी appear live, with no external input tool, and switch language mid-document. They also support 11 Indian languages to our 10. If your bottleneck is comfortably getting words onto the page in Tamil or Hindi, that is worth knowing.

Where we differ is what happens after. Scrite is an excellent screenplay editor and stops there; here the locked draft becomes the breakdown, the schedule and the budget.

Coverage as a diagnosis, not a verdict

The recommendation line gets the attention, but the useful information is in the category grades. A script scoring well on premise and dialogue and poorly on structure has a specific, fixable problem; one scoring evenly mediocre usually has a concept problem no rewrite will reach.

Because the rubric is consistent, running it again after a rewrite tells you whether the fix actually landed — which is genuinely hard to judge yourself once you have read the script forty times.

Common questions

Can I export to Final Draft?

Not currently. We import .fdx and Fountain, and export PDF — .fdx export is a real gap on our side and worth knowing if a collaborator or production office works in Final Draft. Scrite and Celtx both export it.

Does the AI write the script for me?

It drafts against your beats and character bible rather than in place of you. Most of the value is having something specific to react to instead of a blank page; what survives to the final draft is your decision.

Is the formatting industry-standard?

Yes — correct margins and layout, in each of the 17 supported languages rather than only English. Malformed output is repaired before it reaches you rather than handed over broken.

Can I write in more than one language in one script?

Mixing languages within a single screenplay is something Scrite handles more gracefully than we do today. If your script genuinely moves between English and a regional language line by line, that is worth weighing.

What happens when the script is finished?

It becomes the project canon. The breakdown reads it, the schedule reads the breakdown, the call sheets read the schedule — so nothing gets re-typed and the documents stay consistent with each other.
