Edit lines

Edit lines

TalkingDraft is built for a fast first draft: you’ll do your real rewriting later, in your screenwriting app (see Where you rewrite your draft). But you can fix a line in the Script column at any time.

An action line open for editing

Change the words

Click any line, action or dialogue, and edit it. Click away to save. In a long line, press Ctrl+Enter to save.

Change who says it

Click the character’s name above the dialogue and type the right name. Press Enter to save. The change applies to that character’s run of lines, up to the next name.

Delete things

Deleting and reworking text happens later, in your screenwriting app, once your Talking Draft is done. We’re built to keep you in a creative flow for your fast first draft. Tip: leave yourself a note on an unused key (like NAME-9) to mark something to fix later.
