What?
This is a simple two column text editor designed specifically to
write copy for the teleprompter. The left hand column contains
directions and other information for the production crew. The right
hand column contains the text that will be read by the on-air talent.
If you do not have a teleprompter, the copy can be printed and
distributed to both production staff and on-air talent. This copy is
also fed automatically to the teleprompter.
Estimated read time is shown at the bottom of the right-hand column.
If you also have any version of MS Word installed, you can spell and
grammar check the copy. Other tools include an ERT function that
automatically inserts the estimated read time into the int column of
the rundown.
You can also convert all text to UPPER or lower case no matter how
the original text was written.
From the intro editor you can print a draft copy of the intro or a copy for use by the on air talent.
