A dialogue generator writes a conversation between characters. This one writes screenplay dialogue: give it two characters, what each wants and what is happening, and it writes two or three different takes on the exchange in screenplay format. You compare the approaches side by side and use the one that works.
How to use the dialogue generator
- Describe the situation: where the characters are, what just happened and what is at stake between them.
- Name the two characters. Under "Who they are", say what each wants and, if you like, what they hide. That is where subtext comes from.
- Choose a tone and how much they say outright: on the nose, some subtext or mostly subtext.
- Write. Compare the takes, copy one as Fountain, or use it in a new script, where it arrives as real screenplay lines. You sign up only at that step.
What makes dialogue work
- Each character wants something from the other. A line is an action: to persuade, to dodge, to wound or to win.
- Subtext carries the weight. People rarely say what they feel; they argue about the dishes.
- Voices differ. Vocabulary, rhythm and what someone refuses to say should make two characters impossible to swap.
- It is short. Spoken lines are shorter than written sentences, and people cut each other off.
- There is no exposition dump. If both characters already know something, neither would say it aloud.
How screenplay dialogue is formatted
The character's name sits above the line in capitals, a short parenthetical goes under it only when the delivery isn't clear, and the line itself runs in a narrower column. The screenplay format guide covers the margins, the parenthetical guide shows when a parenthetical earns its place, and MORE and CONT'D explains what happens when a line crosses a page.
Takes, not answers
Each run gives two or three takes that differ in who leads, what is withheld and how the exchange ends. Read them aloud. The best version is often a mix: the opening of one take and the ending of another, rewritten in your characters' voices. The guide to writing dialogue has exercises for doing that by hand.

Questions
Is the dialogue generator free?
It is free with no sign-up. A daily allowance per connection keeps it free for everyone, and the page shows how many runs you have left. You sign up only when you use a take in a new script.
Is the output in real screenplay format?
Yes: character cues, parentheticals and lines. Copy a take as Fountain, which Final Draft, most screenwriting software and Scenaloom import, or use it in a new script, where each line arrives as a screenplay element.
How do I get subtext?
Choose Mostly subtext, and under "Who they are" say what each character hides or won't admit. The takes then talk around it instead of explaining it.
How many takes do I get, and how long are they?
A short exchange gives three takes of six to ten lines each; a longer scene gives two takes of about 14 to 22 lines. Each run is between two characters.
Can I use my own characters?
Yes. Give each a name and a line about who they are and what they want. The takes keep the two voices apart.
Does it make voices or audio?
No. It writes text for a script. It doesn't make voices, audio or video.
Who owns the lines, and is what I type kept?
Under Scenaloom's terms you own what you create with it; lines written by AI may not be protected by copyright on their own in some countries, so rewrite them in your own voice. What you type isn't saved to an account, and Scenaloom does not use your projects, prompts or AI results to train or fine-tune AI models.
