JORDY BAZE — FREE TELEPROMPTER
==============================

A teleprompter that listens to you talk and follows along, so you never lose
your place. No account, no subscription, no upload. It all runs on your machine.


WHAT'S IN HERE
--------------
jordy-baze-teleprompter.html   <- that's the whole thing. One file.


HOW TO USE IT
-------------
1. Double-click jordy-baze-teleprompter.html. It opens in your browser.
2. Paste your script in the box.
3. Hit "Start Prompter".
4. Space bar starts and stops the scroll. Arrow keys change the speed.

Keys:
  SPACE      play / pause
  UP / DOWN  faster / slower
  + / -      bigger / smaller text
  M          mirror the text (for beam-splitter teleprompter glass)
  P          pop it into a floating window that sits on top of everything
  V          voice tracking on / off
  R          jump back to the top
  ESC        exit


ABOUT VOICE TRACKING
--------------------
Browsers block microphone access for files opened straight off your desktop.
It's a security rule, and there's nothing I can do about it from inside the file.

So for voice tracking, use the hosted version instead — same tool, nothing to
install, and the mic works:

Bookmark that and you're set. This download is here so you've always got a copy
that works offline for plain scrolling, even if my site disappears tomorrow.


YOUR SCRIPTS STAY YOURS
-----------------------
Scripts save to your own browser. They are never uploaded anywhere, and I never
see them. There's no account and no database on my end.

One honest note: when voice tracking is on, Chrome sends the audio to Google to
turn it into text. That's Chrome's built-in speech engine, not something I added.
It never passes through me. If that bothers you, leave voice tracking off and use
the speed controls.

I built this whole thing on camera in one sitting, mistakes and all. If you want
to see how it was made, or want to build something like it yourself, the video is
on my channel.
