A writing room, not a word processor.
Full screen, only the page. Page breaks with (MORE) and (CONT’D) exactly as they will print, typewriter scrolling, night paper. Names and locations you have already written come back as you type.
aoidosScreenwriting software by studio rheiComing soon
Screenwriting software that listens.
In ancient Greece, the aoidos was the singer who told the stories out loud. aoidos is our software for the people who tell them first: the industry format without friction, dictation that knows a scene heading, and a straight line from your draft to the production. Every word in it is yours.

INT. HOUSEBOAT – NIGHT
Rain drums on the roof. MARA (40s) counts coins on the table. The lamp flickers. She waits until it holds.
JONAS (O.S.)
You left the light on again.

(without looking up)
I always leave it on.
Written by people
The writing is yours.
Writing is the part we would never want to take from anyone. aoidos does not generate scenes, dialogue or rewrites, and it does not suggest what your characters should say. It takes care of the format, the pages and the paperwork around them, so the writer can do the one thing only the writer can do.
No generated text.
Not a line, not a suggestion for one. What is on the page was written or spoken by a person.
Dictation writes down, nothing more.
When you speak, aoidos types what you said, word for word, and puts it in the right format. It never adds, polishes or completes.
Your pages train nothing.
Scripts, notes and recordings are never used to train any model. They stay yours, stored in the EU.
Everything a writer needs. Nothing in the way.
The writing room and the import already run inside rhei. aoidos makes them a home of their own, for writers who do not need a production office around their pages.
Speak your scenes.
Dictate instead of typing. Say “Interior, kitchen, night. Anna comes in.” and your words land in the right place: scene heading, action, dialogue. Word for word, nothing added.
Hear it before anyone shoots it.
A table read at the press of a button: the script read aloud, with its own voice for every character. The fastest way to find the line that does not sound right.
Every format in, every format out.
Final Draft, Fountain, PDF, Word, Fade In, Highland and Celtx come in clean. PDF, Final Draft and Fountain go out, with a watermark per reader if you like.
Structure you can move.
Scenes, sequences and acts on cards next to the page. Move a card, and the script follows.
Drafts with a memory.
Every draft kept, any two compared. Colour revisions and locked scene numbers once the film is in production.
Writer and production
From your desk to the production.
Today drafts travel as PDFs, notes as long e-mails from four people who do not always agree, and a year later nobody knows which note led to which change.
With aoidos, writers and productions work on the same pages, each from their own side. You keep your own account and your script stays yours. The production works in rhei. Writers invited by a production write that script for free.
01
Hand in a draft.
You write in private. When a draft is ready, you hand it in with a note. The production gets it at once, dated and kept.
02
Notes in one place.
Producer, script editor, director and broadcaster comment right on the lines. They sort out their notes among themselves first, then send you one clear set.
03
Answer on the line.
Every note stays where it belongs, even while you rewrite. Mark it as done, solved differently or not taken, with a word on why.
04
See what changed.
The next draft arrives with its changes marked and a list of how each note was handled. Nothing gets lost between two e-mails.
05
Accepted. The film begins.
The production accepts the draft. In rhei it becomes the shooting script: breakdown, schedule and budget start from your pages.
Your working draft is never visible to anyone until you hand it in. Every draft you hand in stays with you, and the production keeps a copy, just as with a PDF today.
Your rights
Your script stays yours.
You own what you write, in every draft. Nobody sees your working draft until you hand it in, and you can take every page with you at any time, as PDF, Final Draft or Fountain.
