Legacy
Script Wizard Software was founded in 1990 to develop and distribute desktop solutions for the motion picture industry. The company’s pioneering scriptwriting add-in, The Warren Script Applications for DOS Word*, had been released three years earlier and was quickly adopted by screenwriters and production companies making the transition from typewriters to the computer-based office environment.
The release of the Windows operating system in 1989 made DOS and its applications obsolete. To ensure that clients could migrate to the new Windows desktop environment without loss, the company quickly upgraded the Applications and released Script Wizard®, the first and only full-service script writing add-in developed for Word for Windows, and a solution that brought scriptwriting on a computer to new levels of power and versatility.
For the next 25 years, the company continued to upgrade Script Wizard and develop new add-ins, including custom applications for television production companies such as Cheers, General Hospital, Moisha, and Passions. Script Wizard Pro, released in 2005, included many of the production office features that were developed for those companies.
After a 10 year hiatus, in 2024 the company resumed Office add-in development, upgrading Script Wizard for the new Microsoft 365 environment, expanding its library of templates for independent content producers, and developing Transcription Assistant, an all new solution for professional transcriptionists.
