A prompter is a tool that displays a script or text on a screen, allowing a presenter to read it while looking directly at the camera lens. This creates the illusion of a natural, memorized delivery, making your videos and presentations look more professional and confident.
In JetPrompter, the prompter is the main feature: it's the full-screen display where your script scrolls smoothly at your chosen speed. You use it during recording or rehearsing to deliver your lines flawlessly without having to look down at notes or memorize everything.
In JetPrompter, a Script is your main project or document. It represents the entire content you plan to present or record, such as a video, a speech, or a presentation.
Think of a script as a container that holds all your individual Scenes (the segments of your presentation) and important meta-information that helps you stay organized and empowers the AI features.
A Script in JetPrompter includes:
In short, you create a Script for each of your projects, and then you build it out by adding Scenes inside it.
A Scene is a single, continuous segment of your script. Think of it as one topic, one point, or one chapter within your overall presentation. While a Script is your entire project, a Scene is a building block that makes it up.
Each Scene contains all the information needed for a specific part of your recording:
You can add Scenes in three flexible ways:
By breaking your Script into Scenes, you can easily reorder, edit, and focus on one part of your presentation at a time.
JetPrompter's AI is designed to be your creative assistant, helping you move from an idea to a fully-formed script quickly and efficiently. It saves you time and effort during the initial writing phase.
Here’s how the AI can be useful:
In short, instead of starting with a blank page, you can use the AI to generate a complete first draft of your script's scenes, which you can then refine and perfect.
To get the most accurate and personalized content from the AI, we recommend a quick, one-time setup in the AI Settings (accessible from the main menu). This helps the AI understand your unique style and needs.
Key Steps for Optimal AI Performance:
Pro Tip: You can copy a transcript snippet of your favorite blogger from YouTube or a passage from a speaker you admire. The AI will analyze this to match the rhythm, vocabulary, and phrasing.
Taking a few minutes to configure these settings will significantly improve the relevance and quality of the AI-generated scenes, making them feel more like you from the very first draft.
Editing a scene is simple and can be done in two main ways.
Method 1: From the Script Screen (Slide to Reveal)
Method 2: Using the Options Menu
Reordering Scenes: You can easily change the order of your scenes by drag and drop. Simply press the handle (the image on the left side of the scene card) and drag the scene to its new position in the list.
"Reworking" a scene allows you to use the AI to generate a new version of a scene's speech content while keeping its core structure intact. This is perfect for when a scene's text isn't quite right and you want a fresh AI-powered draft.
Here’s how to rework a scene:
The new AI-generated text will replace the old one, giving you a new starting point that you can then fine-tune with the manual editing tools.
This feature is available for Pro users only.
JetPrompter allows you to export and import scenes via CSV files, enabling advanced workflows like bulk editing on a computer.

JetPrompter can perform a web search for images to provide visual context to your scenes. There are important considerations regarding performance and cost.
Key Points:
In short, use web search selectively for scenes where a strong visual context is crucial, and be mindful that it will use more of your AI processing resources.
JetPrompter supports external remote controllers for hands-free control of your script playback, making recording sessions smoother and more professional.
How it works: You can use an HID (Human Interface Device) remote controller, such as the ABShutter 3, to start and stop the script playback in the Player window.
Setup and Usage:
Technical Note: The remote controller functions by imitating a press of the Volume Up button on your phone. This means any device that can send a Volume Up command should be compatible.
This feature allows you to maintain eye contact with the camera and control your prompter from a distance without touching your device.
JetPrompter allows you to record videos directly within the app using your smartphone's camera. The behavior is controlled by the "Prompter Mode" setting in the Playback Setup.
Prompter Modes:
Key Settings in Camera Mode:
Before using Camera Mode, ensure you have granted the necessary Camera and Microphone permissions to the app.
Starting with version 5.1, JetPrompter offers a seamless desktop-to-mobile workflow, allowing you to edit your scripts and scenes on your PC just as easily as on your mobile device.
How Syncing Works:
Recommended Sign-In Method:
To ensure a smooth and reliable connection between your devices, we recommend using Google Sign-In on both your mobile device and the web application. This provides the most consistent authentication for keeping your projects in sync.
