## Key features

- **Real-time co-writing:** Paid subscribers can invite any number of WriterDuet users, free or paid, to edit a script live, with comments, mentions and text and video chat.
- **Script formats and templates:** Keyboard-driven formatting follows industry conventions for screenplays, stage plays, sitcoms and A/V scripts. Pro adds custom margins, line types and title pages.
- **Cards, outlining and mind map:** Each scene can be viewed as a card and dragged into a new order, and a mind map view lets cards be placed freely and linked.
- **Revisions and production tools:** Pro tracks revisions with accept and reject, shows deleted text, and adds colored revisions, locked pages and scene omission for scripts in production.
- **Saving, history and backups:** Work saves to the cloud as it is typed, with automatic backups to a computer, email, Dropbox, Google Drive or iCloud. Premium can rewind a document or a line to any earlier point.
- **Import, export and narration:** Imports and exports PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, Celtx, docx and other formats. Premium's ReadAloud voices each character, and AutoTranslate covers more than 80 languages.

## Good for

- Writing partners and writers' rooms working on one script at the same time
- Screenwriters who move between a browser, a desktop app and a phone
- Students and teachers, who can get half off a subscription

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan is limited to three projects of one document each, and free users can add only read-only collaborators.
- The desktop app and offline writing with auto-sync are listed from the Plus plan up.
- Revision tracking and production tools start at Pro, and full line and document history is Premium-only.
- Cards cannot be edited or rearranged in the mobile app or in phone and tablet browsers; WriterDuet recommends a computer for them.
