Spec score 8.6 #9 of 27 in Screenwriting Software

What it is

Revision Screenwriter is screenwriting software for drafting scripts and managing changes across their elements. It keeps drafts, revisions, and passes in a version history, and lets writers compare versions side by side, even when scenes have moved. Live Collaboration lets people work on the same script over the internet or a local network; a desktop app is required to host a session. Writers can tag script elements and scene details and generate a populated Movie Magic Scheduling .msd file, a feature the maker describes as experimental. The desktop app can read scripts aloud with custom voices and create MP3 or WAV recordings, with an additional voice-engine download required. Exports include PDF, .Fountain, .Fadein, and .FDX. Autosave, optional parallel backup files in screenplay formats, and recovery checkpoints help preserve work. Collaboration uses direct network connections and sends the entire script and every keystroke between collaborators. Revision Screenwriter is free, with no plan limits listed, and is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
