How to edit your script in the NotchStar teleprompter

You edit the script right where you read it. Press the pencil in the NotchStar teleprompter and the scrolling text becomes a plain text box. Change what you need, then press the check mark and the script is back to reading mode. There is no separate editor window.

Steps

1. Open the notch and choose Teleprompter.
2. Press the pencil. The button turns into a check mark and playback pauses.
3. Click in the box and edit. You can type, delete, paste over everything, or fix a single word.
4. Press the check mark to finish.
5. Press play to read.

Shortcuts that work in the box

Command A selects all, Command C copies, Command V pastes, Command X cuts and Command Z undoes. These were fixed in a release in 2026, so keep NotchStar updated if one does nothing.

What to know

• The play button is disabled while you edit, so the text cannot scroll away from you.
• Changes are saved as you type. There is no Save button and no undo history beyond the usual Command Z.
• The edit box keeps a fixed height, so a long script scrolls inside it. Scroll with the trackpad.
• The panel needs to stay open while you type. If it closes on you, press Keep open in the header.

Limits

One script, plain text, no formatting. See the plain text page for what happens to bold or links. To start from the top after editing, use restart. The tool is on the Teleprompter feature page.
