Features in Automatic Prompter Studio

Scrolling news prompter - type in or import your bulletin script and within one mouse-click your script is displayed on a scrolling panel in the style of the traditional TV teleprompters. You can adjust the colour, font, size and speed of the script and export your scripts to other programs as TXT files.

Five cut players for news audio - load up five audio files (MP3 or WAV) and they're displayed in a stack on screen ready to play. (Don't worry if you need more than five - while a cut is playing, you can assign a new one to the same player). Each player has a Solo function, so you can use the players for playing out a sequence of beds. In times of need, the Automatic Prompter can even come in handy as a 'cartwall' for instant audio playout.

Script preset items - it's a pain typing in repetitive actions like cues for the newsreader or date and time prompts. So now you don't have to: just click the Presets button and you are presented with a list of items ready to insert into your script.

Copy-timing function - you can now automatically find out how long your scripts will take to read. Using a basic generally-accepted formula of three words per minute, Automatic Prompter Studio will do an instant calculation and tell you exactly how many words are in your script and a rough estimate of the duration.

Text-based clock - in the middle of a radio news program, you've got so much to think about... why take risks with announcing the time from an analog clock? To work out how to say the time aloud, you would normally have to do a few quickfire mental sums but now the time is displayed at the top of the window all the time, so you can just read it off... for example "It's coming up to twenty minutes to two on Wednesday afternoon".
