DubScript

What DubScript is

DubScript is an Android screenplay editor for writers creating film, television, and online scripted projects. It works with Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, and Trelby scripts, and can export to PDF, .fdx, HTML, or print. Writers can edit in plain text while the app formats screenplay elements, including indentation, page breaks, and page numbering. It also supports plain-text Markdown files with the .md extension. Writing tools include character and slugline suggestions, spell-check, keyboard shortcuts, scene numbering, notes, and dual dialogue. A built-in Wellness Exam scans for possible Fountain or screenplay formatting issues and red flags. For reviewing a draft, DubScript offers speech playback, statistics, scene and character reports, a dialogue browser, and draft comparison. Scripts can be kept locally for offline use or saved to Drive and other cloud services. The free plan includes all features, unlimited scripts, and unlimited scenes; ads appear in write mode and some screens. An optional supporter subscription removes ads and the DubScript watermark header in PDFs and cloud-printed documents. The maker notes that FDX compatibility is not complete. DubScript does not include real-time collaboration or revision tracking.

Who it suits

DubScript suits screenwriters working on film, television, or online scripted projects who want to edit and format scripts on Android. It can also suit writers who need offline local storage, screenplay reports, or exports to PDF and .fdx.

Limits

The free plan has ads in write mode and some screens. The maker says FDX compatibility is not complete.
