EMMY® WINNER | The industry-standard app used by directors, writers, actors, and 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
Scriptation, the Emmy® winning PDF annotation app for the film, television, and video industry, is the revolutionary app for production that intelligently transfers your annotations, notes, and markups into new script revisions.
NOTE TRANSFER - THE SCRIPTATION DIFFERENCE
If you've ever had 30 revision pages on a 40-page script, you know how time consuming it is to copy your notes to new script pages. Scriptation's proprietary note transfer algorithms analyze script changes and transfers every note to its corresponding location in the next draft in literally seconds.
ANNOTATE
Pen and paper, meet stylus and tablet. Scriptation offers a full set of annotation tools that allow you to highlight text, type notes, add photos, insert stickies, record sound, and more.
ORGANIZE
You can finally get rid of that 3-ring binder. Scriptation gets you organized by keeping all your scripts, call sheets, schedules, and production documents in a digital production binder.
LAYERS
Want to separate notes based on meetings? Or share your thoughts with your department? Scriptation's annotation layers makes it easy to navigate between sets of notes.
PAGE MAKER
Insert facing pages, set plans, photos, diagrams, and more, and transfer them into new script revisions. You can even ditch paper sides by creating your own with all your notes.
AUTO HIGHLIGHT
That table read script isn't going to highlight itself. Or is it? Built for actors but customized for sound mixers, Scriptation automatically highlights character lines with the tap of a button.
READ / REHEARSE / RECORD
Elevate your rehearsal process with customizable character voices, line reminders, and scene looping. Use as a read partner or teleprompter for self-tape auditions. Set recording delays for slates and access Auto-Highlight within Reader Mode.
TAGGING
Break down your script into customizable categories and generate reports. Add scene descriptions, notes, and images to your reports. Export as a formatted PDF or a CSV to integrate the data into other spreadsheets.
LINING
Professional script supervisor lining tools to streamline your workflow. Easily mark up your script, track coverage, and maintain continuity across scenes and revisions.

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.
How did I go this long without you

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.
Earth Month is almost here, and so is a brand-new Green Report! Starting April 1, see how many trees you saved this season with a completely refreshed design.
Other improvements include:
– Optimized frequency of launch screen promotions
– Fixed subfolder navigation when screenshot prevention is enabled
– General stability improvements
Enjoying Scriptation? We'd love for you to leave us a review! =)
