Detailed Information

Real Professional Teleprompter Software

SM Teleprompter display and operator interface

Creator

Creator proves that free does not mean stripped down. It is already more capable than many paid teleprompter tools marketed as professional, with full rundown management, script editing and formatting, external prompter display on a second monitor, and output controls for flip, mirror, and rotation.

Main limitations in Creator:

Output is limited to a single connected external monitor.
No import support for PowerPoint, Impress, Word, or Open/LibreOffice documents.
No built-in ShuttleXpress controller support.
No closed caption support.
No DeckLink output or external timecode integration.

Studio

Studio is where your production workflow opens up. It supports output to unlimited displays, with each display independently mirrored, rotated, and flipped, plus network prompter output for browser viewing across connected devices on your production network.

It also adds built-in ShuttleXpress control, office format importing, and SRT caption recording so small and mid-sized teams can run with speed and consistency.

Broadcast

Broadcast is the no-compromise tier. You get everything in Studio, plus DeckLink-based prompter output and professional broadcast caption workflows with standards-based captions embedded on SDI-enabled DeckLink cards.

It also delivers advanced timecode capabilities, including auto-scrolling driven by external LTC timecode for tightly synchronized, high-pressure live operations.
