Character voice quality AWFUL

Very computer sounding characters. No authenticity if you’re an actor and looking for something that sounds remotely realistic.

Not great for auditions

Scriptation is great for working with final scripts. And I do that a lot. Tons of great features. But I can never really get it to work properly for auditions. I think the markups on the sides that casting directors add make it hard for the program to process. As an actor we do way more auditions than actual work days so it’s disappointing.

Replace PDF

I don’t understand why any changes to the pdf script file delete all my tags in Scriptation

Thank You

Preparing for a gig is a lot more efficient and legit fun because of Scriptation.

From Murder to Making Out - Prep IS Possible

Started using Scriptation on HTGAWM to years later on SLCG, with multiple scripts and script revisions a day/night or minutes before departmental meetings, to organizing cast photos, tech scout notes, floor plans, sides, maps, memos and Callsheets, Scriptation has made having a digital folder, like having a 3 inch binder and filing system. Everything‘s accessible in one place. And if I find myself without my iPad, I can still see all my notes on the Iphone app version. Fantastic! It makes the seemingly impossible tasks of staying prepared possible. Thanks SCRIPTATION!

Changed my life

There are not enough words to describe how helpful this app is to me as an actor/director/producer/writer

Always Helpful

No matter how late in the day (or night), or how small (or silly) the question might be, these guys are quick to respond and always extremely helpful; with results delivered almost immediately. Fantastic App. The whole experience is an enhancement of my working life.

Bugs

When I save a file, previous elements reappear. Exporting specific layers doesn’t work. I’m using a 30 day free trail of Pro. It doesn’t inspire me to want to buy it. The mistakes are costing me time I don’t have.

Love it

The annotation transfer across revisions is magic!

The app has so many great features, but above all, the annotations transfer that passes along each of my doodles and highlights from revision to revision, is by far the most critical, important and most welcome feature. *Huge* time saver.

Thoughtful, Helpful, Convenient

This is a very useful program that can be used by many departments, not just one or the other. While, yes, there are some features/actions that I wish I could do but what I like about the creators is that they listen to the suggestions and are always improving the program because they want this to be as user friendly as possible and to meet our needs and then some. The creators are also very quick to respond to your emails - I had an issue, I’m starting my movie tomorrow, they immediately responded and did not stop until we fixed the problem.

Great program

Makes working with production documents a breeze

Bad voices

Voices to robotic

Fantastic app that keeps improving

Scriptation has become an essential tool for anyone working with scripts in television, film or theatre production. It takes what was once a messy, paper-heavy process of revisions, notes and version tracking, and turns it into something intuitive, fast and genuinely efficient. The automatic transfer of annotations between new drafts is a standout feature, saving huge amounts of time and eliminating the frustration of having to re-mark pages after every script update. For busy production environments, that alone makes it invaluable.

What also sets Scriptation apart is how clearly it has been designed by people who understand real production workflows. It is practical, reliable and easy to integrate into day-to-day working life, whether you are in the office, on set or travelling. The interface is clean, the collaboration features are strong, and it helps teams stay organised under pressure. In an industry where time is always short and changes are constant, it is one of those rare apps that genuinely makes the job easier.

Production Sound Mixer

Love it and wouldn’t want to work without it.

Game changer

Scriptation has made a huge difference in my workflow over the past few years. It’s not just having a copy of the script where I can make notes. And it’s not just being able to add photos, shot idea and sketches.

It’s being able to keep all those things in the right place whenever the script is updated. And it’s the excellent training videos, seminars, and responsive support, the last of which is hugely important to me when I’m working.

New layer features, like scene dividers and 8th page counts are super helpful. Tagging is a powerful tool along with generating reports. And the integrations with other software keep making Scriptation even more useful.

This is must-have software and a must-have subscription for anyone working creatively in professional film and television.

Moving files simplified

Love this app!! However, would like to see drag and drop ability for file moves instead of the required move option that takes the user back to the beginning of the file path. This process takes a long time vs. Drag and drop like in PDF Expert

Great Customer Service and App

The team is very responsive and hands on helping users getting up to speed. A very useful tool on set - something that will be common place in my workflow going forward!

Constant Freezing + Lag

I genuinely love the layout, highlights, and easy importing of any pdf files. It’s just whenever I use the app it keeps lagging or freezing, disrupting workflow and losing time for calculations. This happens in both good and bad connection.

If that was fixed, would keep using.

Needs to be fixed

Buggy as hell and does not operate well. The ai voice is not trained and the app constantly crashes. Feeling like I wasted money I can’t get back now
