How to start reading (the prompter controls)
Open a script and click "Start" at the right end of the editor's toolbar (it stays at the top of the screen on a computer, a tablet and a phone), or click "Start" on a script's row on the dashboard (on a computer it appears when you hover the row; on a phone it is always there). The first time you open the prompter a short tour points out Start, Settings, the float window, "Hey Fox" and Edit.
Bottom toolbar: the "Pace" / "Voice" mode tabs, the red "Start" / "Pause" button, "Record a take", "Restart (R)", "Markers (L)", "Takes" (once you've recorded one), the float window button, "Fullscreen (F)", and "Settings (S)". Top left: "Editor" and the dashboard button; top right: "Edit" for quick edits in place. On a phone the bar is folded to "Start", "Record" (while paused) and "Settings (S)", with "Show all controls" for the rest. A presentation clicker works too: PageDown and PageUp nudge the script, F5, B and . play and pause.
In Voice mode the mic opens as soon as the prompter loads (the "Listening" chip at the top is normal), so you can say "Hey Fox, start the prompter" or press Space. Press H to hide the controls while you record, F for fullscreen.
