Prompster review
I like to leave a beat before showing the result in a short video. That’s hard to do if I’m also trying to keep up with the script. Prompster, from Dante Media, has a “Voice Follow” option in its paid Pro plan that advances the text as you speak.
Rehearse the moment where you need to pause
Load the script and enable “Voice Follow”. The app uses speech recognition to match what you say to the text and highlights the active line. I’d practise the sentence before the pause, wait a moment and then read the next line. That shows me whether I can find my place again before I start recording.
Watch back one short take
Put the phone near the camera and keep the script large enough for a quick glance. I’d record a short take and watch how my eyes move when I come back to the text. If I want to cut between that take and a separate shot of what I’m demonstrating, I’d assemble the two in Shotcut.
Anabel’s take
I’d use it for a short introduction or a spoken transition. I’d rehearse any names or unusual words first, especially if the take leaves little room for a second attempt.
