Prompter · complete details
Everything the prompter does.
The full picture: how a show is structured, what the operator can reach mid-roll, what the talent sees on their own monitor, how the camera feed and recording work, and what happens when the venue Wi-Fi gives out.
01 · Structure
An event, its segments, in order.
A project is the event. The scripts inside it are the segments, in the order they are called.
02 · Writing
Written for the glass, not the page.
The editor knows it is feeding a prompter, so it shows you what the talent will actually see.
Editor
Write in place
Type straight into the script. Every change saves on its own — no save button to forget.
Same line breaks
The editor is the prompter
Size, line height, width and alignment apply while you write, so a line that breaks after “good evening” here breaks there too. Nothing re-flows when you go live.
Expand
Full-width for a long rewrite
Push the editor out to the full window for heavy editing. The wrap stays true at either size.
Together
Two people, one script
A writer can still be cutting copy while the operator has it open in the Studio. Edits appear on the other screen within seconds, without either of you reloading.
Timing
Word count and runtime
Live word count on every script, and an estimated read for the whole event at 130 words a minute.
Layout
Set per script, remembered
24–90px type, 1.0–2.3 line height, three column widths and left/centre/right — saved against that segment, not the app.
03 · Operating
Everything reachable mid-roll.
The operator sits at the back of the room with one hand on the controls. Nothing needs a menu.
04 · Talent
What the talent sees.
A clean reading surface, on its own display, mirrored for the rig you are using.
Its own window
Onto the prompter display
One button opens the talent view as a separate window and puts it straight into full screen. Drag it to the monitor on the rig and leave it there.
In step
Pixel-accurate, live
Same words, same line breaks, same position in the script — at whatever size that monitor is. The two surfaces cannot drift apart.
Its own flip
Mirror the glass, not your screen
T-Mirror and T-Flip V invert the talent window only, so the beam-splitter reads correctly while the operator keeps reading normally.
05 · Camera
Put the shot behind the words.
The talent reads the script and looks down the lens at the same time, because the picture sits behind the text rather than beside it.
Any source
Webcam, phone, capture card
The laptop camera, a phone’s camera, or a camera on HDMI through a capture card — anything the machine sees as a video input.
Behind the text
Dimmed so the script still reads
The feed is a background, never a window over the copy. Dim it to taste until the words hold their contrast.
Record
Take the rehearsal down
Record while you roll — useful for timing a segment, or for a self-tape when there is no camera crew.
Your takes
Kept on your machine
Every take lands in a drawer with a thumbnail. Play it back, save it where you want it, or delete it.
06 · Marks
Land on a moment.
Bookmark the spots you know you will need before you are live.
07 · Control
Keyboard, wheel or touch.
Whatever is under the operator’s hand at the back of the room.
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| Space | Roll / pause |
| ↑ ↓ | Speed up / slow down |
| ← → | Jog back / forward through the script |
| F | Full screen |
| ? | Every shortcut, on screen |
Wheel
Scroll to scrub
The mouse wheel moves through the script without touching the roll.
Touch
Tablet at the desk
Tap to roll, drag to scrub, pinch to resize — for running from an iPad beside the camera.
08 · Small screens
Run it from a phone.
Not a cut-down version — the same studio, laid out for a screen you hold in one hand.
09 · Reliability
It keeps working offline.
The connection is the least reliable thing at any venue. The prompter does not depend on it.
10 · Team
Accounts and access.
More than one operator, and more than one way in.

Seven days, no card.
If it doesn’t hold up in rehearsal, walk away.
