Support and FAQ

You can control the speed of scrolling by tapping the + and – buttons on the recording screen.

You can also pause the scrolling using the pause icon.

If you have a Bluetooth remote control you can also control this remotely.

Once you finish recording you will be asked whether you wish to Save or Discard your video. If you press Save then the video will be saved to the Camera Roll on your device and be accessible in the same way as other videos. Once saved to your device you can edit it using your favourite app and upload to social media, or do whatever you like really.

The app will change between portrait and landscape mode when you rotate the device.

However, there is a setting on your device which prevents this from happening. If you have this set then it won’t rotate. In order to check this, you need to go into the ‘control centre’. To go here, swipe up from the very bottom of the screen. You will see a number of icons, including the one shown below.

This is the lock orientation button. Please ensure this is NOT on.

Once you have turned it off then the Teleprompter for Video app will happily rotate between portrait and landscape modes.

Yes you can. The app has been programmed to receive signals from Bluetooth remote controls. You can do the following using a remote control:

• Start and stop recording
• Pause scrolling
• Speed up and slow down scrolling

The remote I use and recommend is the Satechi Bluetooth Multi-Media Remote Control – https://amzn.to/3jCiLb1

The app is not compatible with the Ikan Elite Remote.

Unfortunately Facebook prevent apps from connecting with their Facebook Live product so this isn’t possible at the moment. It would be possible however to use the app as a teleprompter while you record yourself using a camera or webcam and stream live. This also applies for anyone wishing to use the teleprompter app while using Zoom or any other live video platform.

If you are facing any issues with the quality or volume of sound in your recordings then please follow these steps to resolve it.

• Check whether you have any Bluetooth devices enabled. The app will use Bluetooth microphones if they are available and sometimes this means you could be using a Bluetooth microphone by accident, for example on your apple watch, Amazon Alexa or similar. It would be worth disabling Bluetooth on your device to check this isn’t the case.
• Try restarting your device. Sometimes other apps can interfere with the sound quality and a simple restart can solve this.
• Check whether the default Camera app by Apple has any sound issues when recording. If it does then it suggests there is an issue on your device which you will need Apple to investigate.

Yes you can. The only limitation here is that the app will automatically use the last connected bluetooth microphone, so if you have multiple then you need to ensure that you connect the one you want to use last.

The reason you need to log in is because the Teleprompter for Video app allows you to share your scripts between multiple devices. If you didn’t sign in then there would be no way we could know which devices belonged to you and which did not.

There is an option to use the app without logging in. This will still allow you to edit scripts and record videos, however you will not be able to share scripts between multiple devices. You will also not have the opportunity to earn additional free characters.

We have 2 optional purchases available in the app…

• Longer scripts – to remove the length limit for scripts. It is priced at $11.99 USD, and Apple converts this to your local currency.
• Add a Logo or Image – to add a logo or image to your videos after recording. It is priced at $3.99 USD, and Apple converts this to your local currency.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Premium Version of the app, which includes these 2 purchases together for a reduced price of $14.99 USD.

You can check the price before committing to purchase. Simply tap the ‘Upgrade’ button in the settings menu (? icon) and you can see the upgrade options along with their price in your currency.

All of these purchases are one-off – they are not monthly or yearly subscriptions 🙂

Go to Settings > (?) Icon > Upgrade

You will be shown 3 options, along with the price for each. To purchase, tap the price and follow the instructions.

Any items you have already purchased will be shown in Green as below.

If you believe you have already purchased, but it is not showing, then tap the Restore button in the top left corner – this will restore your purchase for free on to your device.

If you have bought the in-app purchase to remove the 750 character limit but are still seeing a limit, then something has gone wrong during the purchase. If this happens there are 2 things to check.

• Firstly whether Apple have processed your purchase. If Apple haven’t processed your payment then you can go ahead and make the purchase again.
• If Apple have processed payment then you can restore the purchase on the app by tapping the ‘Restore Purchase’ button in the settings menu under the (?) icon. You will then see a ‘Restore’ button in the top left corner – tap this. Tapping ‘Restore Purchase’ will simply restore the purchase into the app, and not require additional payment, but it will only work if your Apple ID has previously purchased this add-on.

If you have already purchased the app then you can use it on all your devices as long as you are signed into App Store using the same Apple ID.

Simply tap the Restore Purchase button in the settings screen to apply the in-app purchase on your other devices.

Yes, you can use your purchase on all devices where you are signed in with your Apple ID. Simply follow the instructions above to restore your purchase for free on these devices.

If you have made an in-app purchase of the Teleprompter For Video app, firstly let me say thank you.

As the purchase is made with Apple, and not myself, you will need to request this with Apple.

There are instructions on how to do this on the Apple Support page here

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204088

I’m sorry to hear you aren’t satisfied.

Firstly please do get in contact with me and explain why you aren’t happy with your purchase. I will try my best to resolve it for you.

If you still require a refund then you need to raise a request with Apple.

All payments are processed by Apple and therefore all refunds need to be requested from Apple. You can read more information about how to do this here – https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-get-an-app-store-refund-from-apple/

In the recording screen you need to tap the script to edit it. This then brings you into a script management screen which lists your scripts. Here you can create new scripts, import scripts from Dropbox / OneDrive / Google Drive / iCloud or edit/delete scripts.

Simply tap the + button in the top corner of the screen to create a new script.

A full article about managing scripts is given here

Using the standard version of the App you can create a script of up to 750 characters. Depending how fast you read this usually equates to a video of around a minute.

You can earn additional free characters by logging into the app, creating a script and recording a video.

If you create a script longer than your limit the app will prompt you to purchase a reasonably priced add-on. This add-on allows you to create scripts up to 65,000 characters which equates to around 1 hour of reading.

Yes.

Here are 4 simple ways to improve the quality of your videos

To disguise the fact that you’re reading, here are a few tips.

• Change the size of the text area so it is narrower – the less far your eyes are moving the less detectable it will be.
• Change the font size so it is slightly larger, and then stand further away from the device. The further you are away, the harder it will be for the viewer to see your eyes.
• Try to ‘scan’ the text rather than read it. Making it larger and scrolling faster means you tend to scan the text rather than read it.
• Think about occasionally glancing away, add some pauses in there (using line breaks) to make it sound more natural.
• Looking at an angle can help, rather than directly at the camera.
• Use a Bluetooth remote control to give you greater control over the scrolling text and make your delivery more natural.
• Practice, practice, practice and see what works for you.
