ScriptCheck

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

A reference and worksheet to check scene formatting, character cues, dialogue margins, and action lines against basic industry standards. Paste a snippet of your script into the comparison panel, select the format type (Slugline, Action, Dialogue), and toggle the margin overlays to visually spot differences.

New writers often lose contest points or reader interest due to poor formatting. This provides a free, instant visual check without expensive software.

This is a visual reference tool, not an automatic formatter. Always double-check contest-specific or studio-specific guidelines.
