Rich-text emphasis
Apply bold, italic and underline to the exact words that need attention. Keep the emphasis in the script so a change of speaker, key phrase or delivery cue is easy to recognize.

Explore the features behind your next great take.
37 practical tools for writing, organizing, rehearsing and delivering. Choose a part of the workflow, then open its guide for setup details.
Writing & formatting
Give every line its own intention.
Fonts and proportional sizes
Choose a font and set editor text from 6 to 144 points. Larger and smaller passages stay proportional when the script is scaled for prompting; the body-lines setting controls the overall reading size.
Read the guideScript colors
Choose a palette color or enter a hex value for selected text. Color-code speakers, pauses or important phrases, and choose an editor background that makes the contrast easy to check.
Read the guideLists and alignment
Build numbered or bulleted sections, adjust indentation and align paragraphs. Give a multi-part script a clear structure while retaining supported formatting in the prompting view.
Read the guideFind and replace
Locate a word or phrase, move through matches and replace one match or all matches. Update a product name or repeated pronunciation cue without manually combing through the script.
Read the guidePrivate production notes
Keep camera directions, reminders and other operator notes beside the editor. Notes do not appear on talent screens; portable .zprompt exports include them, so check before sharing a file.
Read the guideLibrary & organization
Keep each production ready to find.
Project organization
Create and rename projects, then move scripts into the right production. Switch between a project, all scripts and unassigned work; deleting a project preserves its scripts.
Read the guideScript and project search
Choose whether to search scripts or project names. Find the right piece of work from the library instead of opening each production to look for it.
Read the guideFavorites
Star a script to make it stand out in your library. Keep frequently used openings, recurring segments and the scripts you return to easy to recognize.
Read the guideDuplicate scripts
Make a separate copy of an existing script. Prepare a new episode or an alternate take while keeping the original available for comparison.
Read the guideDrag-and-drop ordering
Drag scripts into the order you want or move them to a project. Arrange the library around your running order instead of relying only on a file name.
Read the guideLocal saving
Script edits are saved automatically in the app’s local database, with a visible error and retry if a write fails. Keep portable exports as backups; local saving is not cloud synchronization.
Read the guidePrompting & readability
Build a reading view that feels right.
Variable and reverse speed
Adjust the prompting speed before or during a run, including backward scrolling. Slow down for a difficult line, pause for a beat and resume at a pace that matches the speaker.
Read the guideReading size and smoothness
Set the body text density from 4 to 20 lines per screen and tune scroll smoothness. Match the reading size and movement to the distance between the presenter and the display.
Read the guideIndependent margins
Adjust the left and right margins separately. Shape a comfortable reading column and avoid asking the presenter to scan from one edge of a wide screen to the other.
Read the guideAdjustable reading guides
Show or hide the left and right reading brackets and arrows. Drag the guide position in the prompting view to put the reading target where your presenter needs it.
Read the guideCountdown and paused start
Choose no countdown or a 5, 10, 15 or 20-second lead-in, and decide whether a run starts paused. Give the presenter time to settle before the words begin moving.
Read the guidePage-by-page prompting
Switch from continuous scrolling to paging mode. Up/Down arrows or the mouse wheel move one screen at a time; paging mode skips the countdown.
Read the guideDelivery & rehearsal
Stay in control from first word to final cue.
Looped playback
Enable looping to return to the beginning when a script reaches the end. Useful for repeated practice or a continuously presented message; the opening countdown is not repeated on each loop.
Read the guidePosition and line navigation
Seek with the progress slider, jump backward or forward, or go directly to a line. Start from the editor caret when needed so you can pick up a section without replaying the whole script.
Read the guideNamed bookmarks
Add bookmarks during prompting, name or rename them and jump between cues. Saved positions are tied to the current script and layout; changed content may require fresh bookmarks.
Read the guideProgress and timing
See the current line, total lines, elapsed time and estimated time remaining. Timing follows the prompting run and current pace, giving the operator a useful reference during delivery.
Read the guideFullscreen and hidden controls
Enter fullscreen and hide or reveal the operator controls. Keep the reading view focused, then bring transport controls back when an adjustment is needed.
Read the guideRehearsal recording and replay
Record scrolling movement, pauses and speed changes, then replay the latest saved rehearsal. It records prompting timing rather than camera video or microphone audio; script or layout changes require a new rehearsal.
Read the guideScreens & connections
Give every screen the right job.
Separate operator and talent views
Keep transport controls on the computer while a compatible external display shows the clean script. The presenter can concentrate on reading while the operator manages the run.
Read the guideMirroring and vertical flip
Set horizontal mirroring and vertical flip separately for the operator and talent views. Match the text to compatible teleprompter glass without forcing the operator to read the same orientation.
Read the guidePer-display rotation
Choose the orientation of individual talent displays. Adapt a portrait or landscape setup to the screen you are using and verify the result on the actual device before the take.
Read the guideOutput and layout control
Enable or disable individual talent outputs and choose a layout reference. Other connected screens preserve that reference’s line layout; disabled outputs remain blank rather than showing operator controls.
Read the guidePhone browser talent screen
Open the current session invitation in a compatible phone browser on the same reachable local network. Manage connected screens and connection tuning from the operator; fullscreen and wake behavior depend on the device.
Read the guideNearby operator discovery
In compatible native talent mode, discover a nearby operator on the local network and request pairing. The operator allows or declines that request; a browser invitation uses a separate connection flow.
Read the guideControls & files
Work with your tools, your language and your scripts.
Configurable keyboard shortcuts
Map key combinations for playback, speed, smoothness, bookmarks and text size. Swap the speed and smoothness arrow keys if that suits your workflow, or restore the default assignments.
Read the guideHandheld remote mapping
Assign supported keyboard-emulating or gamepad buttons to prompting actions. Save the mappings across scripts and test the actual device; proprietary remotes are not automatically compatible.
Read the guideMouse wheel and swipe control
Choose mouse-wheel speed control or use supported swipe input to adjust the run. Configure the behavior for your operating style; in paging mode, the wheel advances by a screen instead.
Read the guideSix interface languages
Switch the app interface between English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. The website and guides use the same six-language selection; your script text remains your own.
Read the guideScript import
Bring in plain text, RTF, legacy .zap and portable .zprompt files. Review formatting and any imported legacy settings before prompting; DOCX and PDF import are not currently included.
Read the guidePortable and text export
Export a .zprompt document with supported formatting, settings and private notes, or a plain-text copy without formatting or notes. Move a prepared script between installations and keep an independent backup.
Read the guidePhone and tablet remote
Scan the remote QR code on a compatible phone or tablet on the same local network. See the live script, tap to play or pause, swipe to change speed or position, and pinch to adjust text size.
