Write in your own language

TwelvePoint supports input text in all the languages available on iOS and macOS devices and the user interface adapts to the host operating system layout (e.g., Right-to-Left).


The Hollywood Standard or more...

Screenplays can be based on the American screenwriting Hollywood Standard or can be customized to meet specific studios requirements. Each scenario can be configured to meet the target publishing layout (page margins, scene heading, dialogue orientation, etc.).


Not just movie scripts...

We designed TwelvePoint to be flexible enough to adapt to all the different type of scripts. You can use TwelvePoint to design and publish scenarios for any video production, including stage-plays and novels. The screenplay is formatted according to the LTR (Left-to-Right) or RTL (Right-to-Left) rules automatically; if you are working on an operating system using the RTL layout, also the TwelvePoint's user interface will adapt.

Note:
TwelvePoint supports input writing in all the languages but the user interface (menus, tutorials, etc.) is available in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
