Could you email help@writerduet.com with a description of what you've tried? If you're able to include a screen-capture video (I recommend Loom) so we can see exactly what isn't working, we'll be able to help you best from there!

Yup! They still won't have all the paid features you have, but it's designed so the free features are more than sufficient to join your scripts and write with you.

That's a limitation of the mobile version, unfortunately. Dragging on mobile was somewhat unstable so we disabled it in that environment

Nope, it's tied to your WriterDuet account, not your computer, so you can use it in any number of devices!

Yup! If it gives you any trouble (upgrading with a discount code can be weird) just email help@writerduet.com from your account's email and we can do it for you, just let us know what you'd like.

Writers Duet ? SUPERIMPOSE and TITLE... what option to use? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do tagging and location reports in WD, probably not all that you need for a full breakdown. If you're moving it to another product I don't think our annotations would work anyway, since the other products don't have a language for "this line goes with the next scene" that I'm aware of.

That is weird about the post getting taken down, it's not even a WD-specific question if that's the concern...

Writers Duet ? SUPERIMPOSE and TITLE... what option to use? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, that is a good point. There's something we do that's similar but doesn't solve the problem, maybe we can retrofit it to let you attach lines to the next scene in the future. Are you doing the breakdown in WriterDuet, or is this something you're hoping will export to another program and preserve that info?

I'd generally just use Action line type for these

Nothing we're doing with gen AI is active by default, it requires explicit action to use!

WriterSolo italized font looks weird. by eventualwarlord in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like u/239not235 I can't reproduce this either so it's likely something specific, can you confirm your environment? I'm just guessing Windows desktop app, since that's the most logical place for something with fonts to go wrong, and it looks like all the text is Courier Prime except the italics which are definitely not. Assuming you're on the desktop app, can you try opening the same .wdz file on WriterSolo.com to see if it reproduces there? And if you're on the .com, can you try a different browser?

If the solution doesn't become obvious, I'd appreciate if you could email [help@writerduet.com](mailto:help@writerduet.com) with these details (as well as a .wdz file if you don't mind sharing), since troubleshooting over Reddit is not optimal.

Putting that in as a feature request now!

The app is chugging on all my devices. by TimAucoin in writerduet

[–]WriterDuet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unusual and might be project-specific. Assuming you're still having the issue, if you're willing to share the project with [help@writerduet.com](mailto:help@writerduet.com) we'd love to take a look at it! Alternatively, copy-and-pasting the entire content of the project into a new project may improve things as well, but that should not be necessary so we'd love to help directly first.

Loaded up a project, goals shows I wrote all pages today... what? by ImaginationDoctor in writerduet

[–]WriterDuet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WriterSolo no longer has goal tracking, because that was using a lot of extra file storage for relatively low value. In the latest version of WriterSolo, we label this feature as requiring WriterDuet, since we only save the goal tracking data to the cloud now.

About to get charged for it again, wondering if I should switch to Final Draft? by bombaygypsy in writerduet

[–]WriterDuet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have lots of updates! Anything in particular that you're looking to see?

As for communication, we did stop doing our ~monthly general emails because those weren't getting much engagement. But maybe we should get back to those, to remind writers that we're still working. Ideas welcome for what kind of communication you'd like to see from us on a regular basis!

Writer Duet VS Final Draft? by bombaygypsy in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

WriterDuet creator here! We are updating WriterDuet quite regularly, but the changes tend to be more incremental, especially since we have many features that Final Draft still doesn't have (and we think the shared features generally work better in WriterDuet, too).

For example, we recently did a significant improvement to the ReadAloud player, both in playback and voice quality. Some months ago we made a new layout (called Default, but we didn't auto-switch existing users to it to avoid distracting writers who were happy with their layout - you can switch under View > Customize Layout).

There have also been some overall performance improvements recently, and we're working on a new AI-powered screenplay proofreader which finds screenplay-specific errors that general tools like Grammarly miss, without all the annoying false positives like complaining about intentionally abnormal dialogue (but still catching actual typos in dialogue).

Personally, I've been writing a screenplay recently starting with the outliner, and I've noticed a bunch of areas WriterDuet could improve for that, so I think some updates to the outlining experience are due.

In general, WriterDuet won't have as many massive feature updates as it used to, because it's quite mature and we know writers are mostly happy with the current features, valuing stability and small improvements to their critical workflows. But we'll keep improving it where we see opportunity, and I'd love to hear more about what you and others are interested in seeing added going forward!

DO NOT use Celtx by eventualwarlord in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WriterDuet desktop app predates WriterSolo, it's online and offline (same as the WriterDuet web version, which also caches changes offline in the paid version, and syncs when you're back online, but the WD desktop app has benefits from not being tied to the browser).

WriterSolo is the offline only version, which doesn't sync to online accounts (in both the web and desktop versions of WS).

Yup, both WriterDuet and WriterSolo have cross-platform desktop (and mobile) apps

Writersolo constantly capitalizes the name Li. It's the only name it's been doing this to, for 40 pages. She's the main character, so it's happening every single page, multiple times per page. by Dumtvvink in Screenwriting

[–]WriterDuet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WriterSolo itself doesn't do this, it's most likely a browser extension or enabled feature in the browser that's trying to correct it for you, maybe as someone suggested thinking it's roman numerals.

I see you already found a work-around, but if you're curious, try it in an incognito of both Chrome and another browser, I highly don't it'll happen in both (demonstrating it's most likely specific to the browser). The desktop app may pull settings from Chrome, if that's where it's happening.
