VidovaPrepare the words before the take
The desktop recorder’s teleprompter keeps a script in view while you present. Open the recorder, choose Teleprompter, then Edit script. Type your script or use Paste from clipboard, and choose Done to return to the reader.
Write short paragraphs with natural pauses. The word count and estimated reading time help you judge length; the estimate depends on the reading speed you choose.
Edit the words first, then choose Done to return to the reader. The estimate changes with script length and reading speed.

Rehearse the scroll
Use Play teleprompter to start scrolling and the same control to pause. Restart teleprompter returns to the beginning. Rehearse at your normal speaking pace before recording.
Close the controls while reading so the text stays clear. Hide teleprompter closes the reader; it does not stop an active recording.
Rehearse with the controls closed. The reader shows your script and a guide for where to look.

Adjust the pace without opening controls
On macOS, hold Option + Shift + Cmd and press Space to toggle scrolling, Up to increase speed, or Down to decrease it. On Windows or Linux, use Alt + Shift + Ctrl with the same keys.
These control the teleprompter. Use the separate recording shortcuts in Recorder settings and shortcuts to pause or stop the take itself.
