Teleprompter Preview
T
The Forge Recording
Currently, the only way to see how the teleprompter settings (scroll speed, etc)
will behave is to record.
I should be able to setup and test my settings offline.
And, be able to use it to practice my lines offline as well.
Then go and record with my teleprompter settings in place.

Subject: Please Add Teleprompter Rehearsal Mode Without Recording
Anita Bein
I use Descript’s built-in teleprompter regularly for recording YouTube videos, and I would really like a way to rehearse with the teleprompter without starting a recording.
What I’m looking for is simple: load or paste a script into the teleprompter, press a Practice / Preview / Rehearse button, and have the script scroll exactly as it would during recording, but without creating any video or audio file.
This would be extremely useful for:
practicing pacing and delivery
adjusting scroll speed
checking where natural pauses should fall
rehearsing eye contact and cadence
making script changes before wasting time on a test recording
I actually managed to do something very similar by accident last week, which is why I know how useful it would be. I have not been able to recreate whatever happened, and support confirmed there is currently no documented way to rehearse with the teleprompter without recording.
For creators who use Descript as both a teleprompter and recording tool, this would be a very practical improvement and would save time, storage, and unnecessary test recordings.
Please consider adding a Teleprompter Rehearsal Mode to the Mac desktop app.
Thank you for considering it.
