LetterBox Features
LetterBox provides many powerful and useful features that help
screenwriters work better and faster.
- Super Short Cuts. As you get faster, LetterBox keeps up. For example,
a quick key that automatically formats the next line to the previous character
for rapid back and forth conversations, and another which automatically picks
the character before that for a three part conversation.
- Outline to Script. LetterBox helps you put together an outline like
many writers usually do to get organised. LetterBox lets you build directly
from your outline (using Writer's Notes), all the way to a completed script.
- Character and Location Lists. LetterBox keeps track of characters
and locations used throughout your script. The character list can supplement
your final published script and can be found in a pull down menu so that
you can avoid retyping previously introduced character's names. The location
list allows scripts to be published in chronological form or by location
and also makes pull down menus available to avoid retyping previously introduced
locales.
- Automatic Formatting. LetterBox automatically formats scripts to
many standard formats (including TV-2, Sitcom, Play, Feature Film) without
requiring you to change the data you have already entered. Standard capitalization,
indentation, and spacing are all taken care of by the software.
- Writer's Notes. LetterBox keeps track of notes you make as you write,
allows you to print the script including or excluding such notes.
- Character Tracking. Many writing gurus suggest independently reviewing
each character's lines throughout the script, observing the character development
as the story progresses and making changes as judged necessary. LetterBox
provides automated routines to assist such rewriting strategies.
- Completeness Check. LetterBox provides helpful checking features
to help review scripts for completeness and probable errors.
Plus much, much more!
