[edit] Features

The Scripped Writer provides a built-in screenplay template which formats the document to a standard for scripts as recommended by the AMPAS.[6] The screenplay document is composed of seven elements: scene, action, character, dialog, parenthetical, transition and general. Each element has a specific style to which the Scripped Writer conforms as text is entered.

Like other client-side screenplay software, Scripped offers Tab-Enter toggling between screenplay elements, making the writing process much faster.

Text files can be imported into the Scripped Writer and automatically conformed to the screenplay template. Completed scripts can be exported as PDF files.
