Anybody knows what software do professional script writers (the ones working for the industry) use? I've seen the screenplay format and I don't believe they do all of that by hand; it would be tedious.

Most screenwriters I know use Final Draft. https://www.finaldraft.com/

John August, a well-respected writer and host of the ScriptNotes, built and uses Highland: https://highland2.app/screenwriters.php

There's also a good Fountain extention for VS Code, some support in Scrivener, and FadeIn is quite good. But no matter what, you'll need Final Draft format.

PS. I really miss the old Sophocles tool for Windows.

As nomla indicates, the top dog is, by far, Final Draft. It is actually a pretty good product to boot.
