Valendo — A Teleprompter Suite

A teleprompter for Windows and macOS where the operator rewrites the script while the show is on the air, watching the editor and an exact replica of the presenter's screen side by side.

The reading position is an anchor in the text, not a pixel on the screen.

In one paragraph

You paste or import a script. ## opens a chapter, [square brackets] mark a stage direction. One monitor becomes the presenter's screen; the operator keeps the editor and a scaled replica of that screen. Space starts the scroll. While it scrolls you can fix a line, change the type size, drop in a lower third or a clip — and the word the presenter is reading stays exactly where it is.

Languages

The interface speaks English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, German, French and Italian. On a fresh install it picks the language of the operating system; the welcome screen lets you change it before anything else happens.
