Mr Prompter

Version 2.6 lets you scroll the text by hand, read black on white, and set chapters while you read. On iPhone Pro, it also records ProRes 4K at 60 fps to an external drive. • By hand: in the reading-mode window, tap the hand above ▶. After the start, the text moves only when you drag it, and stops as soon as you let go. In pro mode, a tap stops. Tap ▶ or the speed slider to go back to manual speed. • Background color, in Settings › Text: black with white text, or white with black text. In pro mode, the white turns cream at rest so it never blends with the buttons. • Chapters on the fly: in pro mode, the # button at the bottom left adds a chapter before the line under the red triangle, or removes it. Handy to pick up in the middle of a text. • External drive: plug a USB-C SSD into your iPhone and turn on Settings › Video › Record to the external drive. Takes stay on the drive. It is also the only way to record ProRes 4K at 60 fps. • My texts: Select, to delete several texts in one go. • Remote: a third scroll mode, by hand. The advanced settings end with a big OK, a small grey ▶ tries the speed, and the background color is chosen there too. If the settings are open on the device you control, they close as soon as you act from the remote. • The remote reconnects right away when the controlled app comes back, lists each device once, and forgets a device you no longer use: touch and hold it in the list. • Settings › Reading: invert the speed gesture, if swiping down to speed up feels more natural. • Presets also remember the background color, the scroll mode, the countdown and, in pro mode, the reading line. • At the bottom of Settings: the version, Contact us, and Rate Mr Prompter. • Fixed: in pro mode, starting with the reading-mode window open could leave the text frozen. • Fixed: with Bold Text turned on in the iPhone settings, the remote now shows the text exactly as on the controlled screen, even at the end of a long text. • Fixed: the preset name field could be white on white (remote, Calibration).
