Screenplay Analysis Studio — your script, read properly
Screenplay analysis software should do the thing a good reader does: finish your script, tell you what it is, and tell you what is not working yet. Bring your own draft — FDX, Fountain, PDF or Word — and this reads all of it, then hands back coverage a producer would recognise, notes written to you rather than about you, a score with its reasoning, and a continuity pass that finds the prop you planted and never paid off.
Hours, not weeks. Coverage services charge $75–$250 a script and take one to three weeks. This runs on credits, shows the cost before it starts, and refunds automatically if a generation fails.
It does not write your screenplay. It reads it. You stay the author, and every suggested change arrives beside your original rather than on top of it — which is the difference between a tool a writer will paste a draft into and one they will not.
Before you upload anything
Nothing changes until you Merge
Every edit opens an A/B compare — nothing changes your scene until you Merge.
Your script is never used to train AI
Zero Data Retention on every model — your script is never used to train AI. Zero Data Retention means the model providers we send your pages to are contractually barred from storing them: your script is processed to produce your result and then it is gone from their side. Read the policy.
You stay the author
These tools read your script and tell you what they found. Where they suggest a change, it arrives as a proposal beside your original, never in place of it.
Your work stays yours, and you can delete it
Your projects stay in your account for as long as you use it. An account left completely inactive for 2 years is notified before anything is removed, and you can delete a project or your whole account at any time. Full terms in the privacy policy.
What “A/B compare” means in practice
- Character Voice
- “Rewrites only this character's dialogue — action and other characters stay untouched.”
- Alternate Takes
- “Two contrasting rewrites of this scene, compared side-by-side — pick one, or blend the best of both.”
Both quoted from the editor itself. Every suggestion lands next to your original with a Merge button; declining it leaves the scene exactly as you wrote it.
What we read for
What we read for
Eight things, each with its own page and its own output. Coverage gives you the buyer's read — logline, synopsis, a PASS / CONSIDER / RECOMMEND verdict, per-scene recommendations and a score out of 100. Feedback gives you the mentor's read, in a deliberately different register, including a named Encouragement section that tells you what already works. Scoring gives you a number out of 10 and a letter grade across eleven categories.
Continuity reads the script as a production document: props that never pay off, timelines that contradict the scenes around them, vehicle and character states that drift between scenes. Character Voice answers whether your people sound like different people. The Scene Editor is where a note becomes a fix. Script Metrics turns the whole draft into two spreadsheets.
The thing no coverage service can follow us into
The scene metrics export carries eighths, INT/EXT, time of day, and stunt, vehicle, animal and crowd flags. That is 1st AD and line-producer data, not story data. It is the seam where the same upload that gets you coverage also populates a script breakdown, a stripboard and a schedule.
A coverage service grades your story and stops. This grades the story and then hands the same parsed script to the pre-production tools, because it is one workspace rather than a report you receive by email.
Fast, Standard or Premium
Every analysis runs at one of three depths. Fast is a quick read to see the shape of a problem. Standard is the production-quality pass and the right choice for almost everything. Premium runs the deepest reasoning and multiple passes, and it is the only tier where the continuity and contradiction checks run against your project's own facts rather than a generic rulebook.
Standard coverage costs 450 credits; a Fast read is 300 and a Premium read is 800. Signup includes 2,500 credits, so the first several reads cost nothing out of pocket. Every generation shows its credit cost before it runs, and a failed generation refunds automatically.
AI analysis against a human script consultant — honestly
A good human consultant beats this on taste. They have read a thousand scripts in your genre, they know which of them sold and why, and they can tell you that your second act is fine but your protagonist is not likeable enough to carry it — a judgement no scoring rubric produces. They also bring relationships: a consultant who liked your script can hand it to someone.
What this does better is speed, cost, consistency and coverage of the mechanical layer. It reads all 121 pages with the same attention on page 108 as on page 3, returns in hours rather than weeks, costs credits rather than a fee per script, and never gets bored of counting how many scenes your antagonist is absent from. Use it to arrive at the human reader with the fixable problems already fixed.
Which read do you actually want?
If you are about to send the script to a producer, a manager or a competition, start with Coverage. It is the document that audience already knows how to read, and seeing your own script through it is the closest thing to reading your coverage before they do.
If you have just finished a draft and know it is not right yet, start with Feedback. Coverage will tell you it is a CONSIDER; Feedback will tell you which of the twenty things that are wrong to fix on Monday, and which of them will take an hour rather than three weeks.
If you are between drafts and want to know whether the rewrite worked, run the Score before and after. The overall number matters less than which of the eleven categories moved, and a category that did not move after you spent a month on it is worth knowing about.
And if the script is going into production rather than out to buyers, run Continuity and the Metrics export. Those two are the ones that stop costing you notes and start costing you shoot days.
Written in Telugu, Tamil or Hindi?
Analysis comes back in the language the script is written in. A Telugu screenplay returns Telugu coverage, Telugu feedback and a Telugu score report — verified, not assumed. 17 languages are supported.
This matters more than a feature list suggests. Analysis translated out of your language and back loses the thing you were asking about — whether the dialogue sounds like a person. Output generated in the script's own language does not make that round trip.
What this is not
- It is not a screenplay generator wearing a different hat. These tools read a draft you wrote. Nothing here produces a script from a premise — that is a different part of the product, and it is optional.
- It is not a replacement for a human reader with taste and contacts. It is the pass you run before you spend their time.
- It is not a guarantee that anything sells. No coverage is.
- It does not rewrite your script behind your back. Every suggested change opens beside your original and stays there until you merge it.
Fast 300 · Standard 450 · Premium 800 credits. Every generation shows its credit cost before it runs, and a failed generation refunds automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How much does script coverage cost here?
A Standard coverage report costs 450 credits, a Fast read 300 and a Premium read 800. Signup includes 2,500 free credits with no card required, which covers several full reads. That compares with $75–$250 per script and a one-to-three-week turnaround at a traditional coverage service.
Is AI script coverage any good?
It is good at the parts that are checkable: structure by scene range, pacing, dialogue distribution across characters, continuity of props and timeline, and whether your slug lines are formatted correctly. It is weaker than a good human reader on taste and on market judgement, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. The sample report this cluster is built on scored a 121-page feature 76/100 across eight categories with per-scene recommendations attached.
Will my script be used to train AI?
No. Zero Data Retention is enabled on every model used, so the providers processing your pages are contractually barred from storing them, and your material is never used to train, fine-tune or improve any foundation model. The privacy policy states this in section 3.1.
What file formats can I upload?
FDX, Fountain, PDF, Word and plain text. Reports come back as PDF, Word and Excel, and revised pages export to FDX and Fountain so the script goes back into whatever you write in.
How long does a full read take?
Hours rather than weeks, and usually far less. The length depends on the draft and the depth you pick — a Premium pass on a feature does more work than a Fast read on a short.
Do I have to let it change my script?
No. Analysis is read-only: it produces reports. The editing tools are separate, and every edit they propose opens an A/B compare that changes nothing until you press Merge.
