Best way to exctract script for voice actors?

[Bruni Multimedia]

Hi!

What's the best way to extract an understandable script for voice actors from Ren'Py?

By "understandable" I mean something they can read and understand the flow of conversation from, in a readable format.

Thanks!

The cheap way:
Press "extract dialogues" in the launcher. Select the "tab" option and below mark to ignore text tags.

The result will be a '.tab' file.
You can open the file in Excel. Cancel all the columns but Character and Dialogue (right click on the column letter > erase) enlarge the DIALOGUE column, set the properties (right click on the column letter > Cell Format > Align > mark the new line text property > confirm).

Save.

You can learn how to use Excel FILTER options to select all rows of a character and change the colors, for better readability.

You have now a list of all dialogue lines with the speaker on the left and the actor can mark spoken lines easily or import the document online for collaborative working.

Thank you. I feared that an Excel file could've been confusing for actors who are not used to play characters in videogames, and was looking for a fast way to strip the dialogues into a word doc or something. Still, your suggestion is currently the best one to do.
