How to restart the script in the NotchStar teleprompter
To restart the script in the NotchStar teleprompter, press the circular arrow button, the third button from the left. It pauses playback and sets the script back to the start. Press play to read from the top again. Nothing restarts on its own.
Buttons in order
- Pencil: edit the script.
- Play or pause: start and stop the scroll.
- Circular arrow: back to the start.
What each action does to your place
- Pause keeps your place, and play carries on from it.
- Back to start pauses and returns to the top. It does not start playing, so you can take a breath before reading.
- Edit pauses playback. Tapping the check mark does not return to the start, so press restart if you want the top.
When the script reaches the end
The text keeps scrolling up and out of view. It does not loop or stop at the last line. Press pause when you are done, or the restart arrow to put it back.
Tips
- Press restart before every take, so the first line begins in the middle of the window.
- Check the speed with a short test before recording.
- Press Keep open in the header so the notch does not close while you read. If you lose your place, use restart.
Limits
No loop mode and no skip to a line. The reading position is not saved when you quit. See the Teleprompter feature page for the full list of controls.
