TPS example: Advanced TPS Features. A teleprompter script demonstrating the TPS format with teleprompter and raw source views.
How Prompter One renders this script for the speaker — dark background, emotion-colored segments, emphasis underlines, pause markers, and a spotlight reading zone.
Normal speed for regular content. Slow down for important or complex ideas. Speed up for quick asides or lists.
You can set speed inline: one hundred twenty five words per minute or one hundred fifty words per minute.
Short pause after a comma-like break. Longer pause at the end of a thought.
A one-second pause above.
A two-second pause above.
And a five-second pause for dramatic effect.
This part should be delivered with more projection. And this part should be quieter, / more intimate. This is a secret.
This opening should feel deliberate and very slow. Now we are back at the base pace. This ending should move rapidly.
Mark stress by wrapping the stressed part: This is a critical point. The emphasis changes meaning.
For complex words, use the full syllable guide: development infrastructure.
Long passages need breath marks so the reader knows where to breathe without running out of air.
Oh, that went really well.
By the way, we also support webhooks.
Isn't that exactly what we needed?
We started small. / Then we grew. / Then we exploded.
Block emotion is warm, but you can override inline: this is critical and back to warm. Or shift to a more relaxed tone for a moment.
Volume and emotion are independent you can combine them: this is critical but quiet.
Standard emphasis for important words. Use highlight for key ideas that the reader must not miss.
Some words need pronunciation guidance: CQRS or SQL.
An edit point marks a natural cut in recording.
◆ edit point
This is after a high-priority edit point. The recording can safely be split here.
◆ edit point
And this is after a medium-priority one.
Tags can nest: 0 or 1 .
