About

We have decided to make our entry-level QStart teleprompter software free to download so that everyone can experience the benefits of using an Autocue teleprompter. QStart is the entry-level teleprompting software from Autocue (QPro and QMaster are also available for more complex requirements). QStart allows you to import scripts from a word document or text file, or type directly into the application. Scripts can be formatted using common windows functionality including different fonts, font sizes, colors, text alignment and simple markers. A wired or wireless hand or foot control can also be added to control the speed or direction of the script, or this can be done from a mouse or keyboard attached to the PC. QStart also has the dual-screen capability so that the script can be reversed in order to display the correct way up on a teleprompter for the presenter, and on the PC screen.

About

Teleprompter Pro is designed to produce scrolling text used by professional TV companies and movie producers. Teleprompter Pro is the most user-friendly and feature-rich teleprompter available in the Windows Store. Teleprompter Pro goes much further than standard teleprompters with inbuilt functionality to record your performance. It also includes advanced features like dual-screen and voice recognition control. All at a fraction of the cost of teleprompters with less functionality. Teleprompter Pro is ideal for video and podcast production. The software allows configurable scroll speed, text size and colors. You can also load and save scripts from standard text files. It can also be used for learning song lyrics. The scrolling text can also be mirrored and inverted for use with teleprompter hardware. The program also embeds your selected scroll speed and text size in the script file so you can save the file with different settings for different users or different project requirements.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to load text in, colour, font options are good. Custom commands for quickly moving around the script are easy to create and reliable.

Cons

  • The layout of the settings doesn't make it easy to quickly find what you want to change to change it. You need to work with it a few times on site to learn which involves holding up production possibly even a few minutes. Settings saving are hit or miss. You set up the entire program to your liking, move to a different site, only to find you have to do it all over again. On extended display, the prompter scrolls smoothly but the operator display is jittery and you don't know if you're actually doing a good job a lot of the time. This is true even for powerful computers.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It might have been simple. But control options and directions are pretty much useless. I'm surprised this is endorsed by online reviews.
  • So far, the only teleprompter version that runs on Windows and PCs. The setup is transparent so it overlaid another window nicely.
  • I was looking for a teleprompter program and tried a free version of one called Teleprompter. I found it didn't give me enough control. So I decided to try a Microsoft product instead and went for the pro version because it was quite cheap. I found it very confusing because what downloaded was the Pro version of Teleprompter. I thought Microsoft had ripped me off. But I guess in fact I got what I paid for.

Cons

  • Not what it was advertised to be. Speed control for script (up and down button use) does not work. Directions are not extensive. It's supposed to be simple, but there's not really enough to work with.
  • I downloaded the free version, so the limit is only for 1000 characters. There were no options to speed up or slow down the flow. For that alone, I would not pay $8.99 for the product.
  • Basically does the job, but seems to lack any option to reverse the scrolling if you end up going too fast. So you cannot correct for making a scrolling error. You have to go all the way back to the beginning and scroll back through. There is also no way to correct the text.
