Do contributors need an account to submit a script?

No. Each contributor gets a private link where they paste or upload their script, see the estimated read time, and submit. If the script changes, they update it through the same link.

What does the AI trim actually do?

You give it a target runtime and it rewrites the script toward that length, keeping the speaker's message and tone. It's included on every plan, and you always review the result before it goes near the prompter.

Does the prompter work without internet?

Yes. The runner caches the event and all scripts when it loads, so it keeps working if the connection drops on location. Load it once while you have signal and you're covered.

Can someone else control the prompter while I shoot?

Yes. The runner shows a QR code that pairs any phone as a wireless remote, with no app and no login. Play, pause, speed, and speaker navigation all work from the phone.

Teleprompter·FEAT / 00:00

A Teleprompter Built Into Your Production Workflow

Collect scripts from contributors through links, trim them to time with AI, and run interview days from a fullscreen prompter your phone can drive.

Interview days have a script problem. The CEO's remarks live in an email thread. The founder rewrote hers the night before and sent it as a Word attachment. Someone's assistant printed the wrong version. And the teleprompter, if there is one, is a separate app that has never heard of your project.

FirstSlate's teleprompter is part of the same system as everything else. You create the event, link it to the project, and send each contributor a private link. They paste or upload their script, see a live read-time estimate, and can update it through the same link if things change. You watch the roster fill in from the operator hub.

If a script runs long, the AI trim assistant tightens it toward a target runtime while keeping the message intact. On shoot day, the fullscreen runner scrolls at your speed with mirroring, a focus band, and a countdown into every take, and your phone becomes a wireless remote by scanning a QR code. Load it before you walk into the dead zone; it keeps working offline.

How it works

Scene by scene.

SCENE 00:01

Collect scripts through links

Create an event, add your contributors, and send each one a private link. They paste their script or upload a document, see the word count and estimated read time, and submit. You watch the roster fill in.

SCENE 00:02

Trim to time with AI

If a two-minute slot has a four-minute script, the AI trim assistant rewrites it toward your target runtime while keeping the speaker's voice and message. You review, adjust, done.

SCENE 00:03

Run the prompter

The fullscreen runner scrolls with adjustable speed and font size, mirroring for beam-splitter rigs, a focus band, an eyeline marker, and a countdown into every take. Your notes appear before each person's read.

SCENE 00:04

Drive it from your phone

Scan the QR code and your phone becomes the remote: play, pause, speed, and jumping between speakers, with no login and no app. The runner also works offline once loaded, so a dead spot on location won't stop the shoot.

Why it matters

What you actually get.

Scripts stop living in email

Every contributor's words arrive through the same link flow, organized in one place, attached to the event. No attachments, no 'which draft is this'.

AI trim hits the runtime

Give it a target length and it tightens the script toward that time while keeping the message. It's included on every plan.

Built for real rigs

Horizontal and vertical mirroring for beam-splitter glass, an adjustable eyeline marker, a focus band, and font sizes that read from across the room.

Your phone is the remote

Scan a QR code and control playback from anywhere on set. A new pairing code is issued every session.

Works offline

The runner caches the event and scripts when it loads. If the location kills your signal, the prompter keeps scrolling.

Connected to the project

Link the event to a project and the context follows: client, shoot, and a printable running order for the crew.

Who it's for

Whether you shoot alone or with a team.

Producers running interview days

Founders, executives, and customers on camera, back to back. The running order, per-person scripts, and pre-roll notes keep the day moving.

Solo shooters

You're the operator, director, and prompter op at once. The phone remote and countdown mean you can roll from behind the camera.

Event and conference teams

Collect speaker remarks before the event through links instead of chasing attachments the week of the show.
