About

Script Editor

Features
Read full description

Script Editor provides a unique format to edit and review text. It's holistic format was designed for scripting and fine-tuning of presentations and speeches. Script Editor targets magicians, comedians, actors, managers, politicians and anyone who has, or thinks he or she has something to say. Some features: - scripts are arranged in a matrix of boxes similar to the way text in comic magazines is organised. The idea is to start a new box for any new thread in your script. - this format is ideal for working out, that is: fine-tuning and rehearsing, speeches and presentations - the format also shows useful for shopping lists, poems, anything. - text can be imported from, or committed to memory. It can be pasted from, and to other applications, e.g. emails. Each paragraph ends up in its own text-box. - headers and type-assignments can be applied to boxes such as 'presenter says', 'spectator says' etc. - Text-, Action- and Structure-boxes are supported, named 'Views'. Each view-type comes in its own colour. - Views can be modularised. Modules can be expanded and recombined. The idea is to structure longer scripts into individual blocks. Script Editor is a subset of the Symbolic Editor, now addressing those who focus on the script and the spoken word.
