What's New in PowerCue Companion
1.0.8
October 8, 2026
Take the script with you. • Scripts stay on your iPhone or iPad: the device keeps the scripts your Mac shows it, so you can prompt with no Mac around. • Follow and Play without the Mac: Follow listens with the device's own microphone and moves the text with your voice, Smooth or Line by line. Play rolls it at your pace. A short sample script is included, so you can try it right away. • Your own text width: when the device prompts by itself, the Width row in the controls makes the text narrower or wider, and the line you are on stays where it is. The width is kept with each script. • Your Mac plays, the device rolls with it: the text moves as evenly as the Mac's and no longer steps a line at a time. • Your Mac drops out in the middle of a reading: the text stays. If the device's microphone was already listening, it carries on by itself. • Your Mac's camera behind the text: check your framing while you read from the device. The Mac's camera switches on for it. The picture is at its best on a recent iPhone or iPad and good Wi-Fi. Where it is slow the app says so, with a button that turns the camera off. Also new: a timer of its own, a keyboard or a Bluetooth pedal, and a line under each script that says whether Follow is ready for its language. On the Mac: the camera, script names, several scripts per Mac (the 20 most recent stay), and the marker buttons and marker list without the Mac come with PowerCue 1.0.28. Until your Mac has it, the device keeps the last script from each Mac, and everything else here works. Your scripts and your voice stay on your device and your local network. Nothing is uploaded.
