Prompt is a cost-effective teleprompter software for Mac and Windows that can be customized by the user. It can save its own format and .txt for cross-platform sharing.
The software has various features that make it a popular choice for users. One of its features is that plain text can be imported and exported with ease. Other features include simple text editing tools like copy, cut, and paste. Users also have control over the font size and font choice, and can control scroll speed and smoothness using the mouse, keyboard, or remote (not supplied).
Prompt also comes with a looping function, which makes it ideal for unattended use in keyboard run mode with the single display option. Users can save files in its own file format (.pmt) which can be sent and received between different users. This makes it easy for someone to read a prompt, make necessary changes like font size or audio volume, and send it back to the originator.
The software also has an advanced repositioning capability, whereby users can click and drag the Prompt window to reposition by clicking on the titlebar or the gray area in the edit area or the filename in the scrolling area. There's also an option to hide the desktop with black., making it easier for users to concentrate on the text being displayed.
Other features that make Prompt stand out include multi-language support (Left to Right languages only) and horizontal flipping (mirroring) of text alone or running flipped / unflipped on multiple monitors or both. Prompt also comes with an on-screen timer / progress indicator, including estimated time to end the scroll, and cue points (Tabs) which can also be used by users to bookmark critical points.
