Voice Scroll is the speech recognition scroll mode in Teleprompter Automatic. Use it when the script should follow your spoken pace instead of moving at one fixed speed. This single guide covers setup, best-use cases, and what to check when Voice Scroll is not working.
How Voice Scroll works
The app listens to your microphone, recognizes spoken words, and compares them with the next part of the script. When the words line up, the reader moves forward. It works best when the script language, selected recognition language, and your spoken words match closely.
How to enable the mode
- Open the script in the reader or recording screen.
- Open scroll mode or reader controls.
- Select Voice Scroll or Speech recognition.
- Choose the language that matches the script.
- Allow microphone and speech recognition access when the system asks.
- Read one paragraph aloud before recording the full take.
When it works best
Choose Voice Scroll for natural delivery, lessons, speeches, long scripts, and recordings where you pause for emphasis. It is less rigid than fixed speed because the reader can wait while you breathe, gesture, or repeat a sentence.
If Voice Scroll is not working
- Check that microphone and speech recognition permissions are allowed in system settings.
- Make sure the selected language matches the script language.
- Move closer to the microphone and reduce room noise.
- Read the written words instead of improvising far away from the script.
- Restart the reader if recognition stopped after changing permissions.
When to switch modes
If the room is noisy, the language is unsupported, or the recording must finish in an exact time, switch before the main take. Fixed speed is predictable, timed scrolling fits a strict duration, and words per minute is useful for rehearsal pace.
