Prompter View turns any rich text column in your rundown into a full-screen teleprompter. Useful for talent, floor managers, or anyone who needs to read content during a live show without the distraction of the full rundown grid.
We've introduced quite a few new features and improvements in this new Prompter view:
More reading indicator options and customization
Word Count / Estimated Read time calculations
Significantly improved performance & load speed
new mini map to quickly jump to other rows and search
Sticky Row Name in header
Opening Prompter View:
Hover over the header of any rich text column (e.g. a Script or Notes column)
Click the dropdown arrow that appears on the column header
Select Open Prompter View from the menu
Prompter View opens in a new browser tab with the selected column pre-loaded. It is only available on rich text columns, not on Title, Number, or other column types.

The control bar at the bottom of the screen contains all playback and navigation controls.

Line Spacing — Adjust spacing between lines from 1.0 to 3.0
Uppercase Text — Forces all text to display in uppercase
Layout
Margin — Adjusts the horizontal padding on the left and right of the text (0–200px)
Mirror Text — Flips the text horizontally, useful for physical teleprompter hardware setups
Reading Indicator — Enables a red arrow or horizontal line overlaid on the screen to mark your reading position. You can set the vertical position (10–90% from the top) and choose between arrow or line style
Display Options

Show Run Time Clock — Displays the item run time clock in the header
Show Time of Day Clock — Displays the current time of day in the header
Show Row Name — Displays a sticky label at the top of the page showing the current row's item name as you scroll
Hide Empty Rows — Only shows rows that have content in the selected column, skipping blank ones

Notes:
All appearance settings and playback preferences are saved. So duplicated rundowns and templates will persist.
Prompter View is independent of the main rundown window. You can have both open at the same time. Changes to the rundown content will reflect in the prompter automatically and in real time.
If no column is pre-selected when the prompter opens, you will be prompted to choose a column from a dropdown before any content is displayed.
This View is currently Read Only. Editing capabilities will be added soon.
