The direct answer
What does this ScriptForge feature do?
ScriptForge Proofread makes the smallest possible correction to objectively clear spelling and grammar errors. It does not polish, paraphrase or rewrite the screenplay. Formatting concerns are returned separately as advisory warnings and are never silently applied to the file.
Choose another route when
- The screenplay still needs structural, character or dialogue development
- You want subjective style rewriting rather than objective correction
- You only need to learn screenplay formatting conventions
Inside the result
What you can actually use
Spelling and grammar changes
Each proposed correction includes the original text, the replacement, its category, location and an explanation. Uncertain wording is left unchanged.
Separate format warnings
Scene headings, character introductions, significant prop emphasis and malformed screenplay elements can be flagged as advice without being mixed into the correction list.
Review only or corrected file
Leave file changes off to receive suggestions only, or request a corrected Final Draft file after the complete change list has been generated.
A useful workflow
From the current draft to the next decision
- 1
Choose a project and language
Select the screenplay project and the exact language standard. Proofread follows that spelling and grammar standard without translating the script.
- 2
Upload the screenplay file
The current workflow accepts Final Draft .fdx, .fdxt or .xml files and ForgePad .forgepad files up to the configured upload limit.
- 3
Review changes and warnings separately
A spelling or grammar correction changes text. A formatting warning is advice. Keeping them separate protects deliberate screenplay choices.
- 4
Download only after review
If corrected-file mode was selected, open the returned .fdx and perform the normal final delivery check before replacing any working draft.
Craft before software
Proofreading and Final Polish
Use a calm release checklist for names, continuity, format, the exported file and every change made after the last full read.
Read the guideWhat this cannot decide
Keep the result in its proper place
- Proofread does not rewrite dialogue, improve style, change story content or decide whether an unusual phrase is artistically effective.
- Formatting warnings are conservative and advisory. House style and deliberate exceptions still require human review.
- The current tool requires an account and project. It is not the deferred public screenplay format checker described in the SEO roadmap.
