Teleprompter is an easy-to-use yet powerful prompting application. Using Teleprompter is as easy a typing in your script and tapping play, but don’t be fooled by Teleprompter’s simplicity! It also comes jam packed with useful features: • Remote Control: Control Teleprompter remotely with your iPhone or with another iPad or Mac over WiFi or Bluetooth. Requires the free Teleprompter Controller app, or another device running Teleprompter. • Remote Editing: Open documents over the network. Edit the text, or control the document just as if it was on your own iPad. • Remote Broadcast: Click one checkmark to start prompting on another iPad or Mac. (Networking can be password protected or disabled entirely.) • AirPlay Mirroring: Show an optionally flipped copy of your script to an Apple TV or attached screen. • Import and Export RTF and TXT files: Change the font color and size during import and export. • Bookmarks: Save segments anywhere in your script to quickly jump to them later. Give each segment a duration, and Teleprompter will let you know if you're ahead or behind schedule. • Automatic Speed Control: Need to be at a certain sentence at certain time? No problem. Enable Automatic Speed, and Teleprompter will give each segment the duration you choose. It can even pause between segments. • Customizable Resolution Settings Make sure your script stays consistent or optimize it for different sized screens by keeping it the same width and height. Add margins to sides of the text. • Customizable Overlay Use the intuitive Overlay editor to keep you or the talent on track. Add the customizable arrow, the time elapsed or remaining, or a clock to show over the script. Or, add a custom image. • Voice Control. Teleprompter can use your microphone to prompt automatically. Just start reading, and Teleprompter plays and pauses based on what you’ve said. You can even use this to control across devices. • Fully integrated Mac version Teleprompter for iPhone or iPad and Teleprompter for Mac work seamlessly together. You can save document in iCloud, or remotely control or broadcast prompting. • Great Performance Teleprompter has been carefully engineered to provide distraction-free, buttery smooth scrolling. Teleprompter utilizes multi-threaded rendering to effectively push multiple high resolution displays. Use Teleprompter to help record videos, give speeches, read your textbook, and more!
