Spelvin in the script

What Spelvin does inside the script editor: suggests tags you accept or dismiss, checks the show as you write, and brings a new script version and the chat's changes into the open script.

The script on Live Producer Platform is written by people, as words with tags in them. Spelvin helps at the edges: it suggests tags where words have none, checks the show while you write, and makes sure what it reads or changes elsewhere lands in the script everyone has open. It never restructures the script behind anyone’s back.

Free prose has no tags: a paragraph pasted from a mail, or notes typed in a hurry. Tag with Spelvin reads the selected words and suggests where the parts begin and who speaks them, where a slide or a build goes, where the operator acts (a lower third when someone is introduced, a graphic when something on screen is named, the poll when it is called), and what the text tells the crew or the presenter. A suggested tag is drawn faint, with Spelvin’s mark, and its fields say why. The words themselves are never changed or moved.

A suggestion becomes a tag only when someone accepts it: one click on the tag, then Accept; Dismiss removes it. The section’s head counts what is still suggested, with Accept All and Dismiss All. Until accepted, a suggested tag is not part of the show: what the Studio receives skips it. One press is one action, however many tags it suggests. See Tag with Spelvin.

The Checks card beside the script reads the documents as they change, without Spelvin’s help and at no cost, and lists what the show still lacks:

Check Says
A host, live or speaker part with nobody named Who speaks here? Click it to say
A part that plays a file without one, a live part without its fallback recording, a graphic or sound without its file Which file is missing, and where to drop it
A section that runs long The words at 150 a minute plus its clips, against the planned minutes
A presenter who is not a member Invite them, so their own title and photo come along

A click on a check goes to the place in the script. A contributor sees the checks of the sections they edit.

Two things change a show from outside the script: a new script version imported on the show (Spelvin reads it, or the rules do) and the chat’s changes once you apply them. Both land in the draft and, from this build, in every open editor at the same moment: the sections the version or the change touched are replaced in place, with their identity kept, so the Studio’s shots and script tags follow them, and nobody’s open page writes the old words back. A section nobody has open is rebuilt from the draft when it is next opened.

  • It never inserts a tag by itself: every suggestion waits for a click.
  • It never rewrites words, in a suggestion or a check.
  • It never publishes: a version is still the showrunner’s Publish.
