"Page 2 Stage" is screenwriting software designed expressly for people writing screenplays, scripts, and plays. The formatting required for writing movie and TV Script is very specific (see Screenplay) and general Word processors cannot produce scripts in the correct format. Page 2 Stage supports the common script formats.

Open Source

Page 2 Stage was originally a commercial product. However, it is now released as open source and can be downloaded from Windward Reports. There is a discussion about how the end of the commercial life for Page 2 Stage was handled at the CEO's blog. [ [http://www.davidthielen.info/windward/2006/06/end_of_life_for.html My work at Windward Studios - End of life for Page 2 Stage] ]

The source code is available for download and Windward has offered to help any individuals who wish to create an open source project for the program. However, as of this date no open source effort exists. To express interest in creating a project, post in the suggestions forum.

Interestingly, while the program is now free, several online writer stores still offer it for sale. It appears that it is the exact same program.

Multiple Languages

Page 2 Stage includes resources in 30 different languages [ [http://www.page2stage.com/languages/index.htm Page 2 Stage - Other Languages] ] so all menus, dialog boxes, etc. are in the language of the user, including Asian languages and bi-directional languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

Unique Features

Page 2 Stage has several reports that are very useful in writing a screenplay. First is several graphs that create a picture of both the flow of the scenes and the flow of character's dialogue. This helps to balance out the script.

Second is a concordance of each character's dialogue. This helps the writer create a unique voice for each character.
