Thank you for the Demo and explanation. PromptSmart doesn’t seem to care enough about their customers to have even a decent demo video.
Thanks so much for this demo, Nigel. I didn't realize I had to tap the Play button twice before the voice control would kick in!
Hi J.D. Yes, that 'Play' button still catches me out, even after many months of using it ;)
Helpful, Nigel. Thanks!
Your’e welcome!
Very informative & clearly explained. Thanks Nigel.
Interesting....I'm on the fence after reading some of the user feedback on the APP Store. Seems split where some people like it and many say it doesn't work as expected. Looks like a new release came out in May 2021 (vs 2.1.8). Appreciate the video..... really hope this works as expected. Currently using the Parrot Teleprompter App (vs 2.2.3) and not satisfied with it app (very buggy). Was working but seems every time there is a version update it fixes one thing and breaks something else.
RGMG, remember you can download a free trial of this and see if you like it first, without paying. to be honest, some people make the mistake of leaving their iPad in a case and part of the case blocks the pinhole mic, that and other issues like a very unclear and hard to understand accent perhaps, but for the most part I'd say any issues are user error. If used properly it works to perfection for me and I've been using it for a year now without a hick up.
@@tecraven thanks for the heads up. 👍
Thank you, Nigel. Very helpful.
Thanks!
Awesome Vid - Thanks for the detailed tour of the app!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this, Nigel. I used to run my own Teleprompting company in Sydney and thankfully this sort of equipment wasn't then available. Now I've returned to acting and could really use this for self taping with little or no time to learn the text... or speaking directly to camera as I sometimes do... (for which I am also looking for the prompting hardware) The thing that confused me a bit about your very helpful presentation, was close to end (round 4.42) when you were speaking but the text wasn't scrolling.. but then, without appearing to push anything further, it scrolled when you said "for example... " Sorry if I'm being a bit dense but, would appreciate it if you could clarify this. Either way... thankyou for your video
PS) just realised that JD. Mosley-Matchett's comment below may answer my question... i.e. you probably tapped the play button out of shot. Also noticed from another comment that there is an updated software, would you recommend that and if so, would you kindly provide the link - I don't mind paying a little bit extra if it provides a bit extra... but please confirm
Hi Jeannie. I could not find the part where I said 'for example' at 4:42. Anyway, if I stop speaking the text stops scrolling, simple. Also, sometimes the text might pause for a second or two, even when you're reading, as the software is waiting for the reader to move down a line or two, then it starts again on it's own.
If you have the software on iPad or something similar you should get an automatic notification (like with all other iPhone and iPad apps) that and update is available. But, if not, just download the Pro version and re-install it here: promptsmart.com/products/pro
Very frustrating. The autocue following the voice only seems to work half the time. Not for a whole script (for me). I've tried a few different microphones and different phones. I've since bought the remote app that you can use to move the script on another device. This also doesn't seem to work. It continually disconnects. I've spent days trying to get this to work on lots of different pieces of equipment. Suggestions welcomed! Can a wired remote be used somehow on a phone?
Sorry I can't help with this one. I've never had a problem with it. Using built in mic on iPad (several iPads) has always been fine in different acoustic environments (rooms, halls etc) and at distances from 5 feet to 25 feet. I'd drop PromptSmart an email to their tech team and get some advice from them.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
What camera are you using? obviously not the ipad....? is this just for audio recording?
oh - dslr in back
@@pattimollica8788 I'm filming myself with a Sony A7 III with a Sigma Art series 24-70 f2.8 lens.
Can you link the screen box thing (not sure what’s it’s called) thank you :)
Thanks Nigel
Welcome.
Did you test this with a huge script. The voice tracking / scrolling does not work as has been mentioned in a lot of reviews in the App Store .
Hi Wow beats. Since owning and using PromptSmart Pro I've done several more videos and I have never had a problem with tracking and scrolling. Most of the faults are people not knowing how to use it, not taking iPad out of case so leather is blocking mic, or being way too far away in strange conditions or having a strange accent and not speaking clearly. This example that I did a year ago is 3.5 hours long and there was not problem with the entire script: th-cam.com/video/umcJ4CODKVg/w-d-xo.html
Please advise if I can import in PDF format. If yes how many pages at time?
Whether it acknowledge Devnagari lipi or Hindi language? All fonts
Awaiting advise.
No, but simply cut/paste the PDF text into a regular format and paste that in instead, and no limit on word count that I know of. I think it is only English, sure of it.
What happens if you make a mistake? how do you scroll back up to start all over again?
That’s easy. You simply walk over to the iPad and put your finger on the screen and drag back up to the point where you want to be. Then you go back to your standing position and continue presenting.
The nice thing about this is it waits if you make mistakes. I even paraphrase from time to time, and it moves at the right time.
@@thepaintpeople thanks
Does it work with other languages? I intend to use it speaking Spanish given the fact that I`m a native speaker of Spanish. Many thanks.
Not sure about this as I only used it in English. There is a trial version you can download to try. Or ping a message over to the guys at PromptSmart.
Does this work with regional languages if scripted in English
When you say 'regional' do you mean if scripted in English would it understand somebody with a strong Geordi (Newcastle) accent? if so, yes.
Thanks, Nigel! Have you tried the "notecards" or iCast features? They don't seem to have the voice-activated prompt?
No, never tried either of these features. Don't even know what they are ;) I guess I've never needed anything other than the autocue function of it.
I’m trying to figure out how to import text into notecards. If you know how, please reply.
@@janepattersonabbate8924 Jane, not done that, but give Promptsmart a shout, they are super fast to reply: promptsmart.com
Hi Nigel! If I'm speaking the words on the teleprompter but want to go off on a tangent and speak extra words before coming back to the words on the teleprompter-will my extra words come through on the video I am making or can I only make a video, speaking the words I have put on the teleprompter? Thank You! 😊
Basically, if you go off on a tangent and start speaking words that are not on the prompter the prompter will pause as it does not recognise what you are saying as matching the script on the teleprompter. Then, when you are finished with your digress simply start reading the prompter again and it will pick up and continue scrolling. However, be aware that if, during your. tangent, you say a few words that are similar to that on the script the prompter might 'nudge' up a line so still keep an eye on it, even during your digress. Hope that makes sense, but basically, you can go off topic and the prompter will simply pause and wait for you to come back and start reading again.
@@tecraven Thank you Nigel! Will the words that I speak when I go off on a tangent, be on the finished video? Thank You! 😊
@@gracewavesdevotional1945 of course. The camera will still be recording, and that is independent to the Teleprompter.
@@tecraven brill stuff! Thank You! 👍
On the newest version of this app, I can go in and change the text size and background color… But every time I go out, it says the changes will not be saved until I go back into presentation mode. I don’t see any way to save my changes and don’t understand what it means by going back to presentation mode. When I click the play button again, it comes back with the old settings. Any help appreciated.
Not sure, I haven't used the app for a while. I'd drop Promptsmart this question via this email: team@promptsmart.com
Would you know how to use an Iphone as a remote control if I have the app playing on my IPad? Thank you!
Solange, you don't need to use your iPhone as a remote control when using Prompsmart Pro on an iPad because Promptsmart Pro uses voice recognition so as soon as you start reading the script it will automatically scroll and follow your voice - that's the point of it, to do away with the need for a remote control altogether.
I’m trying to figure out how to connect to Dropbox. It doesn’t seem to,access my Dropbox directory. Is there a setting I can change to reconnect it to Dropbox? Any help appreciated.
Jane, not tried it, I just import via cut/past via email, but shout Promptsmart, they are super fast to reply: promptsmart.com
Oh, one question: I use both an iPad and my Samsung phone on my teleprompter. Can the Pro version of this app be loaded on to both? If the operating system can't be shared for a single purchase, can I load it on to two separate Samsung phones for a single purchase? Thanks again.
Hi Darryl and thanks for the complement. I have the Pro version that I downloaded from the App (Apple) Store and it allowed me to download it onto my iPad as well as my iPhone. I don't have any mobile devices other than Apple so I'm not sure how that would work as I think you download apps for Samsung from some other store. Sorry I can't advice more on this. But, drop PromptSmart an email at team@promptsmart.com and they'll advise. They area a small family-run company, very helpful.
@@tecraven Thank you. (Appreciate the response.)
Does support other languages? Thanks!
I'm not sure about that as I only speak English. But if you send a message to PromptSmart via email to: team@promptsmart.com they will answer your question.
Hello,
Where I can find a microphone like yours to connect?
It only needs a cheap one. I got a Mosotech, they do two lengths, see these two links: amzn.to/2Vv0cxx and amzn.to/3lmLSSV - latter link is longer.
How can I cancel my subscription? anyone knows?
The voice recognition is very poor! Unsatisfied user here!
Hi Mitch. Strange. Maybe I can help you. I know three people that use it, including me, and don't have any issues. Here are a few tips. If your iPad is in a case, remove it from case to allow better access to built-in microphone as case can sometimes block the mic a little. If you're in a room with lots of reverb, such as a church, the echo interferes with the clarity and in this case using a lav mic clipped onto your shirt and going into iPad will make sure your voice gets picked up clearly.
Same issue here. It's been hit or miss for me using the built in mic on the iPad in an acoustically treated room.
How would the plugged in mic work?
@@briandalmeida1722 You just buy a budget, but half decent, wired lav mic. I bought a Mosotech (they are available to buy with different length cables) for between £8.99 and about £12.99, see: amzn.to/3ttrIYw
This simply plugs into the iPad with the standard TRRS plug that is on it (don't use the TRRS to TRS adaptor that it comes with) and then you clip that onto your shirt and the iPad then collects your voice from that and not the built in mic, that way the software recognises your voice easier.
@@tecraven Thanks for the reply and info! I'll try this out.
@@briandalmeida1722 it works better if you have your mic feed pluged into your iPad. I have a boom mic, and my ipad is 12 feet away. It doestn work. So I add a output feed from my mixer to my iPAD, so its getting the clean boom mic sound and its 95% accurate. BUT sometimes you really need to be picky about which words you use. Its good, but not perfect.
Does the app support the Hebrew language?
Not sure about this. Perhaps send PromptSmart and email directly to enquire.
I need help center contact does anyone have?
Can it work with iPhone or iPad only?
Works on both iPad and iPhone. I have it on both.
It also works on Android Devices. I am using it with my Samsung Note 7
Can the reconizer read Arabic Language?
Hi Figaro. I'm not sure about that, could be English only, but you can download a free 7-day trail so I guess that would be the definitive way of finding out. Link is in the original description for the video. Hope it does. Get the 7-day free demo and let me know if it works with Arabic.
Hi Figaro,
Did you try to use the app in Arabic? I tried to use it speaking in Swedish and although it recognized some words it wasn't enough to follow through the whole text.
@@tecraven Hi Nigel, I tried to use it speaking in Swedish and although it recognized some words it wasn't enough to follow through the whole text. Do you have any suggestion on another similar app that allows language recognition in Swedish or a product with an alternativ solution (remote control for example)?
@@jonasmedin8986 Sorry, Jonas. I only use this one in English and don't know of any others.
I have been trying to reach Promptsmart for days. Support email bounces back. Can anyone post a phone number here?
This email works fine: team@promptsmart.com
