About

Cue

Features
Read full description

CueMe is an App into the CueiT prompting software application that opens up the ability for presenters and production staff to preview scripts in real time on their mobile devices, whether in the studio or on location, eliminating the need for printed copies. CueMe interacts with CueiT’s new API to allow a user to see active rundowns and scripts within their CueiT application, on a mobile or tablet device, with zoom functions for ease of viewing and personal font size preference. This allows users to browse current and upcoming scripts, without affecting the on-camera prompt, and see updates in real-time with auto-refresh. The app has support for both LTR and RTL languages. There is no limit to the number of users in a production that can use CueMe, and the app is also capable of connecting to multiple CueiT applications and remembering those locations so users can easily move between studios in a larger facility. CueMe will require a license add-on to the CueiT prompting software.
