EMMY® WINNER | The industry-standard app used by directors, writers, actors, and production Scriptation is the Emmy®-winning script annotation app trusted by directors, script supervisors, actors, development executives, and production teams on film and television sets worldwide, from prep through production. "When I mark up my script, I use Scriptation now." (Kathy Bates) "Scriptation changed my life. Every time you get a new draft, it transfers all your notes." (Sophia Bush) The script changes. Your work stays with it. FOR DIRECTORS & WRITERS Organize your entire prep in one digital production binder. • Annotate scripts with highlights, notes, photos, Apple Pencil drawings, and audio • Transfer markups to new revisions automatically in seconds • Use layers to separate personal, department, and meeting notes • Insert facing pages, shot lists, set plans, and reference images • Create and share daily sides directly from the app • Listen to your script read aloud with customizable character voices • Keep scripts, call sheets, schedules, and production documents in one place No more 3-ring binders. No more rewriting notes when revisions land. FOR PRODUCTION & DEPARTMENTS Break down scripts, tag elements, and generate reports. • Tag props, wardrobe, locations, VFX, SFX, and more with custom categories • Generate formatted breakdown reports as PDF or CSV • Include photos, reference notes, and scene details • Integrate with planning apps like Cinapse, SetHero, Shamel Studio, Shot Lister, and Think Crew • Transfer tags to new revisions so breakdowns stay current Perfect for assistant directors, department heads, producers, and anyone else on set who interacts with a script. FOR SCRIPT SUPERVISORS Professional lining and continuity tools built for production. • Generate instant scene coverage tramlines • Add facing page reports and mark takes directly in the script • Maintain continuity notes across scenes and revisions • Transfer lining and notes when new drafts arrive. Nothing lost. Built for how modern script supervisors actually work on set. FOR ACTORS Prepare for auditions and rehearse scenes, no scene partner needed. • Highlight your character's lines in one tap • Rehearse with customizable character voices and scene looping • Use Record Mode as a self-tape teleprompter with slate delays • Transfer your annotations when new drafts arrive. No rewriting. Whether you're prepping sides, running lines, or recording a self-tape, Scriptation turns your script into a rehearsal studio. FOR DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVES Evaluate scripts faster. Listen to them, mark them up, and share notes. • Listen to scripts with distinct character voices to hear dialogue, pacing, and tone • Use it as a table read on the go between meetings or during a commute • Annotate scripts as you read or listen • Share note layers with creative teams while keeping personal notes separate Whether you're reading for a greenlight or giving notes on a draft, Scriptation lets you experience the script, not just read it.

Industry Pro includes advanced Note Transfer, multi-layer transfer, collate pages, compare scripts, breakdown tagging and reports, facing pages, daily sides, script supervisor lining tools, advanced layers, collaboration, and rehearsal tools for actors.

The BEST for TV production

I love this app! I have purchased and used GoodReader and iAnnotate but neither comes close to Scriptation. The best attribute is that all notes, including highlights, drawings, photos and voice notes, come across to the next collated script with a touch of a button. I used to have to copy and paste the note. It even gives you a list of what has changed in your notes that doesn’t fit the script anymore. So if you highlighted a passage, and the passage changed, it tells you. Brilliant! Now scripts and schedules can be kept in the cloud so you can read them on the computer or iPhone and make notes and it syncs notes across all those platforms. I push all my productions to go paperless and now this app makes it easy to convert people to go paperless.Technical support is amazing! All my questions are answered quickly and all suggestions are taken into consideration in order to make the app better.

Scriptation changed the game for digital script management by figuring out how to incorporate revisions into a file without losing your notes. That was HUGELY innovative and there only reason why I was able to go digital on set. Note transfer between revisions was a good enough reason to put up with the other glitchy things about using it in 2019. But now it is frustrating to use in the exact same ways it was frustrating to use 5 years ago. But costs more. Years later, the same glitches still exist and haven't improved at all. Sure they've added new AI features I don't need but all I want is to be able to make a text note, resize it, and then, if I have to edit the note, not LOSING the resize. I want it to work seamlessly on my ipad and my desktop. I want a Stamp in the shape of a CAMERA for making overheads in the app. I want it to search my handwritten notes. I want to be able to use my stylus to select a section of handwritten notes I want to move or resize. Good notes has all this functionality. It's a breeze to use and it's annoying to know that's all possible but Scriptation has chosen to remain clunky and keeps raising it's SUBSCRIPTION PRICE every year! Even in the year our whole industry was on strike. I'd LOVE to be able to turn my handwritten notes to text blocks. Scriptation, I see everyone singing your praises in these 5 star reviews but you should know what all the directors I know are complaining about behind your back. Please clean up the basic functions of making notes on scripts.

Developer Response
Hi Ashley,Thank you for your detailed review. User feedback is invaluable for steering our development, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide yours. I’m happy to share that some of the functionality you pointed out is already available in Scriptation.We support handwriting-to-text conversion through Apple’s Scribble, which works with any text tool.You can also create custom camera stamps using Saved Annotations to reuse for overhead annotations.Adding cloud folders to your Favorite folder lists in Scriptation gives you instant access to your scripts and notes using services like iCloud, creating a seamless experience between devices.Since launch, we’ve added many new features based on user requests - like Lining, Tagging, Script Comparison, Reader Mode, Fillable Forms with Storyboards, and more - while continually improving our core technology. Even with all of these improvements, since introducing subscriptions, we have raised prices only once in 2022, well before the strike.I invite you to check out help.scriptation.com for more on these features and others. We’re always open to suggestions to improve, and we would love to continue the conversation one-on-one, so please email support in-app so we can get started. We appreciate you taking the time to share your review.

Scriptation saves me so much time!

Currently I am on episodic, and we get countless colored one liners and script pages. Scriptation saves me so much time transferring all of my notes from one color to the next . To have the ability to thoroughly break down a script , Whether it be for television or film and be able to instantly transfer it every time there is an update is amazing. I also create folders from my episodes and store my PDFs whether I create them or whether they’re sent to me in that file and I have everything all together on my iPad and not have to carry around a 3 inch notebook is a beautiful thing. On the information page we could use a detailed one or two sentence explanation to share with our first 80s and production managers as to how to send the digital files so that they are fully accessible on Scriptation.

Since being turned on to Scriptation my set life has become a director dream. Well , the organization of my scripts always....No more transferring of notes every time we get a rewrite or a new note. No more hoping my pages don’t get wet while shooting outside or worse lost ! Everyone who sees me working with Scriptation is immediately intrigued, actors , producers , ADs , many of whom now use it as their go to script throughout productions. I can’t recommend this app enough - you purists can keep you binders and pages with smeared pencil marks and highlighted notes that make your script look like a manic third grader - or you can welcome in the new age of film organization. Try it - you will thank me later. PS - you’re welcome in advance.
