With the Auto-Tag Cast feature, Scriptation can automatically tag all the characters in each scene.
 
NOTE: Tagging is an Industry Pro feature.

With your script open, tap Tagging on the Top Toolbar to enter Tagging Mode;
 
NOTE that if the Tagging icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. While there, you can also choose Customize and drag the Tagging icon towards the top to make it a regular part of the Top Toolbar.
 
Select the Text Highlight annotation tool:
 
Highlight a Character name and this prompt will be displayed:


To include all characters with Voiceover / Off-Screen / Off-Camera extensions, check the box. Touch or click Yes to auto-tag the characters in the script; the first occurrence of every character in every scene will be tagged:



NOTE: The prompt for Auto-Tag Cast will also be displayed when you're in Tagging Mode and you use the Text Highlight tool with the Cast category for the first time.

The Auto-Tag Cast feature works only with character names, the Cast tag category and the Text Highlighting tool. Other tag categories and tools can be used for character names, but with those choices the tagging process is manual.
