If you are looking for dialogue statistics, such as line count, the number of times a character speaks, etc., Screenwriter 6 and above have a report that pulls that information together. You may print the report, or Preview the report instead of printing it to paper.
In Screenwriter with your document open:
Here is the type of information the Dialogue report provides:
The Dialogue report also pulls all the sides of dialogue for each character as part of the report.
In Screenwriter with your document open:
- Choose File > Print
- In the print window, select the "Dialogue" report
- The Dialogue Printing window will pop up.
- Select the first option, "Dialogue with Reference Page Numbers and Statistics"
- Either click the Select All button to select all of your character, or click on the individual characters for which you want the statistics (use Command+Click to select more than one character name)
- Click OK
- You should now be back in Screenwriter's print window.
- I recommend unchecking the "Run SmartCheck before this print job" option
- Click on the Preview button
Here is the type of information the Dialogue report provides:
"ALBERT had 12 speeches consisting of 88 words in 20 sentences. This averages to 1.67 sentences per speech, and 4.40 words per sentence. The longest sentence ALBERT spoke had 8 words in it."
The Dialogue report also pulls all the sides of dialogue for each character as part of the report.
If you only want statistics, copy them out and paste them into a separate document.
