Practical Scriptwriter is screenwriting software supporting various US and UK script formats (Stage, Screen, Television and Radio) as required by the BBC[1] and US Screenwriting industry standards.[2] The software runs on the Windows platform only.
The application is notable due to the separation of formatting information from the script itself. This separation is the opposite of a traditional WYSIWYG Word Processor, the data file format does not contain font and layout metadata, this is only applied during the formatting process. The software uses a proprietary file format identified by the .FSC file extension.
Originally released in 2005, the software was rewritten using Windows Presentation Foundation in 2012.
