What it is
DubScript is an Android screenplay editor for writers of film, television, and online shorts. It reads 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 such as indentation, page breaks, and page numbering; it also supports Markdown files with the .md extension. Tools include character and slugline suggestions, spell-check, keyboard shortcuts, scene numbering, notes, and dual dialogue. A built-in Wellness Exam checks for potential screenplay or Fountain formatting issues. For review, DubScript offers speech playback, statistics, scene and character reports, a dialogue browser, and draft comparison. Scripts can be stored locally for offline use or saved to Drive and other cloud services. The free plan includes unlimited scripts and scenes, with ads in write mode and some screens. The maker notes that FDX compatibility is not complete. Real-time collaboration and revision tracking are not offered.
