Scriptate is a different kind of teleprompter—built for people who don’t want to (or can’t) rely on reading a screen. Designed with accessibility in mind, Scriptate turns your script into clear, spoken cues so you can stay focused, present, and in control. Whether you’re visually impaired, have dyslexia, or simply prefer listening over reading, Scriptate helps you move through your script naturally at your own pace. Import, paste, or type your script, and let Scriptate break it down into manageable pieces. Generate cues automatically or create your own, then play them back as you go, moving forward, backward, or repeating as needed. Key Features • Audio-based cue system for audio guidance • Built for accessibility: deal for low vision, dyslexia, and cognitive ease • Flexible script input: paste, type, or import from files • Smart cue generation or fully manual control • Move at your own pace: advance, rewind, or repeat cues anytime.
