Prompter Software For Mac

Organize your repertoire

• Organize your songs in setlists and step through them in sequence
• Create collections of songs ('books') within your repertoire (e.g. 'Live Songs', 'Unplugged', ...)
• Create multiple LivePrompter configurations and repertoire directories to manage different projects or bands
• Share song files among band members, with individual content shown for each musician from the same song file

Did I mention it's free?

• Yes, LivePrompter is absolutely free, no strings attached, no ads, no hidden features. I built it for my own use, and I couldn’t be happier if other musicians find it useful for their own live experience.
• If you find LivePrompter useful, you can make me even happier by posting a testimonial on how you use LivePrompter and what you like about it in the testimonials forum and maybe attach a picture of your band / project in action. I’d like to fill my LivePrompter wall of fame!

There are a number of lyrics/chord display apps out there that offer tons of features. Unfortunately, I've found most of them a bit unwieldy for live use, so LivePrompter was created as a super-stripped-down tool that works very well in a live setting. But in the course of this, I had to make some decisions on what do leave out.

Therefore here are some things that LivePrompter is NOT:

• A song database with sophisticated search and management features
• A guitar chord finder
• A sheet music viewer
• A Karaoke app
• An all-singing, all-dancing, do-everything-for-everyone music application

LivePrompter does one thing only, but that it does pretty well…

Also: LivePrompter is a Windows app - optimized to be used on touch tablets (nice large type and friendly buttons), but it will NOT run on Android, iOS or Macs - please don't ask me how to install it on your iPad...

LivePrompter only has two screens - makes life simple!

Selection Screen

This window lets you select which songs to display: all songs, songs from a collection (book) or from a setlist. Now select a song and simply press Go!

Free Teleprompter Software For Mac

Lyrics Screen

This window, normally shown full-screen, displays your lyrics and chords, scrolling in time with your song.

The title bar displays the currently loaded song. It changes its color to signal the current state of LivePrompter (ready to scroll, running, paused, finished), so you can see at a glance what's going on. Also, it has a simple metronome that can display the tempo of the current song.

At the bottom, there is a row of big buttons to operate LivePrompter via mouse or touch screen: play/pause, reset to beginning, scroll up/down, next/previous song, exit.

Below this, the footer bar displays the next song in the list.

Autocue is one of only a few teleprompting companies to offer teleprompting software that runs natively on a Mac OS. QStart Mac (as well as the PC version) is supplied free of charge with any Starter Series teleprompter, or it can also be purchased separately here.

QStart Mac offers basic prompting functionality, allowing you to import scripts from a word or text file or type directly in to the application. The script can then be formatted with different font types, colours, alignment and sizes. The software also has dual-screen functionality which allows you to send a reversed image of the scrolling text to the monitor (so that it will appear the correct way up for the presenter once mirrored) as well as showing a preview panel on the Mac so that an operator can see the scrolling text at the same place/ speed as the presenter.

The Autocue Mac software is licensed by the Mac address of the machine on which it is installed, so you can only install the software license on one machine. If you wish to prompt from multiple machines, you will need to purchase multiple licenses.

Separate to QStart Mac, Autocue also has its own teleprompter iPad app called iAutocue and iPhone app called iAutoscroll. iAutocue allows you to mount an iPad on a teleprompter rig in place of a teleprompter monitor, and control the speed/direction of the scroll via iAutoscroll on an iPhone. Additionally, it also allows you to replace the traditional PC or laptop running teleprompting software with a separate hand controller and use the iPad instead to output video and connect up to and control a teleprompter monitor.
