A metascript feat is the equivalent of a metamagic feat for rune magic. As scribes do not have spell slots, they instead can only apply a particular metascript feat to their scripts a set number of times per day based on their scribe level. All metascript feats also limit what level of script they can be applied to (based on the highest level of script the scribe can cast).
Applying a metascript feat to a script increases its casting time to a full-round action, just like when applying a metamagic feat to a spontaneously cast spell. The exception to this is the Quicken Script feat, which instead reduces the casting time of a script to a swift action. A scribe cannot modify a single casting of a script with more than one metascript feat at a time.
