TeleDot

A Teleprompter solution made with Godot. This standalone app is all you need for your teleprompting needs.

Features

• Standalone teleprompter: Easily edit, format, and scroll through your scripts;
• Bluetooth controller support: Control playback, speed, and scroll using any Bluetooth media remote or keyboard;
• NeoVim integration: Seamlessly send scripts directly from your code editor;

How use TeleDot?

TeleDot is a standalone application. Simply create a new script inside the app, configure your settings (scroll speed, font size, margin, mirroring), and start the teleprompter!

Bluetooth Controller Controls

You can control the teleprompter using a connected Bluetooth keyboard/remote:

• Play/Pause: Space or Play/Pause button
• Speed Up: Right arrow or Next track
• Speed Down: Left arrow or Previous track
• Scroll Up/Down: Up/Down arrows
• Exit Prompter: Escape, Backspace, or Back Button
