Teleprompter Pro used in a Presidential mirror Teleprompter
  • Use the Mirror Vertical option to flip the text vertically.
  • Use the Mirror Horizontal option to flip the text horizontally.

When using a standard on-camera Teleprompter setup, we recommend using the Mirror Vertical option to flip the text vertically. This allows the controls to be easily accessed on the outside edge of your device.

Persist While Editing

Enable Switch OnPersist While Editing option to keep the Teleprompter text mirrored/reversed even while making edits to your script.


External Display Mode iPhone and iPad Only

Show a clean feed of the Teleprompter text on a display connected to your device, such as a TV or monitor.


Tap to Scroll

Tap anywhere on your device to start or stop the Teleprompter scrolling, rather than having to tap the START button.


Hide Controls While Scrolling

Make all of the on-screen controls hidden when the Teleprompter text is scrolling.


Dragging Stops Scrolling

Dragging the Teleprompter text manually will interrupt the Teleprompter scrolling.

  • When Switch On enabled, dragging or scrolling the text manually will automatically stop the Teleprompter scrolling.
  • When Switch Off disabled, dragging or scrolling the text manually will not interrupt the Teleprompter scrolling, scrolling will resume when you’re finished dragging or scrolling, from the new position.

Timed Scrolling

Set a specific amount of time for your script to scroll from start to finish.

For example, with Timed Scrolling Switch On enabled, you can select 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The scroll speed will automatically be calculated and set so that your script will scroll from start to finish in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

This is a good alternative to manually adjusting the scroll speed if you have a specific time goal for your script.

If you manually adjust the scroll speed when Timed Scrolling was enabled, Timed Scrolling will automatically be disabled and your new scroll speed will be active.


Scroll Mode

Changes how the Teleprompter text will scroll.

Continuous

Continuous is the default mode. Text will scroll smoothly and continuously at your set scroll speed, from start to finish. You can start or stop the scrolling at any point.

Paging

Paging will advance your script in a series of distinct movements, one ‘page’ at a time. Similar to advancing pages in a PDF or presentation. A ‘page’ id determined by the size of your display or window, the text will advance by one full movement without skipping over any text.
