I–IV The features

Everything serves the delivery.

Not a feature list — four departments of one instrument. Each exists to keep your eyes up, your pace natural, and your hands on the keys.


I The prompter

The prompter

A transparent overlay that behaves like a teleprompter, not a website. Text first, chrome never.

i

Three reading modes

Classic for plain scrolling, Focus to dim everything but the current sentence, Karaoke to lift the current word. Switch mid-read without restarting.

ii

The cue line

A thin red rule marks the reading position — the one branded element in a surface designed to disappear.

iii

Jump-free speed control

Change words-per-minute mid-sentence. The text continues from exactly where it is; no lurches, no double-scroll.

iv

Voice tracking

The prompter can follow your voice: spoken playback commands and speech-aligned positioning, falling back to manual scroll whenever you take over.


II The recording

The recording

One window for the whole take — read and record in the same place, without switching apps.

i

Screen & camera, composed

Capture the screen with your camera composited in, from selectable quality profiles up to 1080p.

ii

Prompter stays private

The overlay can be excluded from screen recordings, so your audience sees you and your material — not your notes.

iii

Microphone mixing

Narration and system audio mix into the same take. Mute, switch devices, and monitor levels without leaving the flow.

iv

Takes that survive

Chunks are written to disk as they arrive; a crash or a closed lid never costs the whole recording. Every take lands in your folder, playable immediately.


III The control

The control

Keyboard-first is not a slogan — it is the difference between a take and a retake.

i

Global shortcuts

Play, pause, speed and reset work while your camera, meeting or recording app is in front. The prompter listens even when it is not visible.

ii

Manual navigation that respects flow

Arrow keys move through the script and auto-scroll pauses itself; it resumes exactly where you left it.

iii

Recorder shortcuts with conflict checks

Start, stop, mute and camera toggles are checked against every other shortcut in the app — one table, no surprises.


IV The library

The library

Your scripts live on your machine. No accounts, no upload, no lock-in.

i

A real script library

Keep as many scripts as you speak. Open, rename, delete — everything local, everything fast.

ii

Live estimates

Word counts and reading-time estimates update as you type, so you know what a script costs before you stand up.

iii

Preferences that persist

Speed, mode, fonts, overlay behavior — set once, restored on every launch, even after a restart.
