Use this guide when you have just installed Teleprompter Automatic or opened the web dashboard for the first time. The shortest path is: sign in, open the Library, create or choose a script, adjust the reader, and start a short test before recording a full video.
1. Sign in to the same account everywhere
Use the same Teleprompter Automatic account on iPhone, Android, and Web. This keeps subscription checks, script sync, Web Remote pairing, and active-device management predictable.
If you switch devices later, the related guide explains how to restore Teleprompter Automatic purchases.
2. Create or open a script
Open Library and choose Add New. Create a blank script, import a supported document, or open a demo script. Web shows extracted text before you continue to the editor. On iOS, you can generate a draft for 30, 60, or 90 seconds, then review it before saving.
For a deeper workflow, use the guide to create and import scripts.
3. Adjust the reader before recording
Open a script and check the text size, alignment, and pace. All three platforms offer fixed, timed, and words-per-minute pace; mobile also offers Voice Scroll. A good first test is 10 to 15 seconds: read one paragraph, pause, and adjust the speed until your voice feels natural.
4. Give camera and microphone access only when recording
Reading a script does not require camera access. Recording video does. When the app or browser asks for camera and microphone permissions, allow them if you are ready to record. If access is blocked, follow the camera and microphone permission guide.
5. Pick the next workflow
For narration without a camera, choose audio-only recording on mobile or Web. For a browser video, choose Original, portrait, landscape, or square and check Fit or Fill framing before export. On iOS, Recovery can help with interrupted drafts or deleted scripts on the same device.
- To record a take, continue with record and export videos.
- To control scrolling hands-free, open the Web Remote guide or Bluetooth remote guide.
- To understand device limits, read too many active devices.
Expected result
After setup, you should have one script in your Library, a comfortable reader speed, and a clear next step: practice reading, record a video, or connect a remote control.
