This displays text on screen for you to read as you give your presentation. The text is not recorded.

1. Ensure the script you wish to read from is saved as a Word document (.doc) or text file (.txt). 
2. Copy the script onto a USB stick and plug it into the back of the RapidMooc system. Alternatively, download the script from OneDrive or your email onto the Rapidmooc.

3. On the RapidMooc system, go into Record video mode.

4. Select the Teleprompter button.

5. Select on the Load button.

6. Locate your script and highlight it. Click the Select button.

7. Your script will appear in a grey text box at the top of the screen.

1. Select the Start button to preview your script.

2. Select the Settings icon to change how your script appears on screen, including options for
   • scroll speed
   • text size
   • etc.

3. The script text can be edited by selecting the grey text box at the top of the screen.
4. Select the Save button to save to any changes made to your script - this will not overwrite your original document on the USB.

1. Select the back button to return to the main menu.

2. Press the Start button to start the recording, this will automatically start the teleprompter with your loaded script. The text will not be visible on the recorded video.

Triggers are words which automatically run actions, such as changing camera positions or pausing your recording. Triggers are identified by using square brackets [ ]. When the teleprompter hits the Trigger, it will run the action.

Triggers can be physically typed or you can use the ones on-screen.

It is possible to make the notes from your PowerPoint presentation appear in the teleprompter area. These notes can also contain triggers to control the Rapidmooc.

There are some limitations though:-

1. The same PowerPoint presentation must be present on the Rapidmooc system AND your laptop / lectern PC. Only the notes from your presentation are used on the Rapidmooc.
2. You need to control your slide show on your laptop to match the notes on screen. To help you, you may want to write prompts in your notes to remind you to change slides.

1. Place the same PowerPoint presentation onto the Rapidmooc and your laptop / lectern PC.
2. Follow the same steps as Loading a Document but select your PowerPoint presentation instead of a text file.
3. Start your presentation on your laptop / lectern PC and start recording on the Rapidmooc.
4. Change slides as needed or when prompted.
