00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,260
The right word can change a scene. Here is how

2
00:00:03,260 --> 00:00:07,560
to put spelling tools, dictionaries and voices to work. There

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,740
are two sources. First, your operating system’s checker: mac O

4
00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:15,660
S and Windows come with dictionaries for many languages, and

5
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:19,960
Federio Dramatize uses them when they are present. Second, Federio

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Dramatize’s language packs: small dictionary files that you download once

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,680
and that work without the internet from then on. Open

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,360
Tools, then Set Up Spellcheck. The “Language Packs” window shows

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,880
at the top which checker is active (“Automatic” uses the

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,580
system dictionary, otherwise an installed pack) and below it a

11
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:43,420
list of languages. Next to each language it says “Installed”

12
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:48,080
or “Available” together with the pack size. Right-click an underlined

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,220
word. At the top of the context menu are suggestions

14
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:55,720
for correction; a click applies the suggestion. Below you find

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,360
“Add to dictionary” for names and invented words that Federio

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Dramatize should no longer flag, and “Ignore” for the single

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,560
case. Select a word and choose Tools, then Thesaurus. Choose

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240
the dictionary language and download an available synonym pack or

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,360
import a matching MyThes dictionary. Click a suggestion to replace

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,860
the selected word. Federio Dramatize can read your screenplay aloud,

21
00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:24,760
with different voices for narrator and characters. For this it

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,960
uses the voices installed in mac O S or Windows.

23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,320
If you are missing a voice, you install it in

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,480
your operating system’s settings, not in Federio Dramatize: on a

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,420
Mac under Accessibility, then Spoken Content, on Windows under Time

26
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:43,400
and Language, then Speech. Try these tools on a copy

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,500
of your screenplay. Keep what helps your writing, and return

28
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,460
to the guide whenever you need the details.
