Definition
A script is the written text of a film, play, speech, or program. It can also mean a style of handwriting or a writing system used for a language.
Usage & Nuances
Most commonly, 'script' means the written text for a movie, show, or video: 'read the script', 'write a script'. In tech, it often means a short program or automation file. 'In script' can describe cursive handwriting, and 'Roman script' refers to a writing system. Don't confuse it with 'screenplay', which is specifically for films.
