What's New in Scriptfox

New features and improvements, release by release. Scriptfox is the voice-tracking teleprompter that keeps up when you go off-script.

  1. v3.0.7

    On a phone the prompter goes full screen; a take plays back with full sound; text size and margins in the camera sheet

    • On a phone the prompter fills the screen on your first tap; a small caret at the top takes you back out.
    • For the owner: a finished take plays back with its full sound on the review screen. While any microphone was open the phone played it through its call path, thin and tinny; the microphone now stays closed while a take is reviewed.
    • For the owner: the camera's settings sheet has text size and the left and right margins beside the script's height and backdrop.
  2. v3.0.0

    A smoother way in: faster sales page on phones, one look from Start free to setup, a shorter setup, a calmer opening in the prompter

    • The sales page's background video is half the size on phones, so pressing Start free on a weak connection no longer waits behind it.
    • Sign-up and sign-in match the sales page: the same dark purple and the same fox-head mark, so Start free does not change worlds.
    • Setup is four steps instead of five: the welcome page and "What do you create?" are one page. The progress dots and the Back, Skip and Next buttons sit in the same place on every step. The Hey Fox step no longer repeats what Settings says about the clip it keeps.
    • An empty Untitled script is not kept. Open New script, look, and go back, and nothing is added to your list.
    • A script with text but no name gets one: when you leave the editor or open the prompter, Scriptfox names it from what it says (under 60 characters) and gives it a matching icon. A name or an icon you chose is never touched.
    • The prompter opens with the words fading in and the first line rising to the reading line, with the first word already boxed so you can see where reading begins. Asking Fox for the next section before you start boxes that section's first word.
    • The Fox orb makes an entrance a moment after the script is in: a ring draws itself, the head pops into it, and the glow begins.
    • On a phone, the settings sheet lies over the prompter instead of squeezing it, so the reading line is shown where it will be while you read.
  3. v2.9.9

    Tag with AI works on numbered and bulleted scripts

    • Tag with AI now works when your lines start with numbers, bullets or dashes. It used to say the sections couldn’t be located, with nothing to apply.
    • It also finds a line when the AI quotes it a little loosely.
    • It no longer turns a full paragraph you would read out loud into a heading. When the AI asks for that, the heading goes above the paragraph instead and your words stay in the script.
    • If the tags can’t be placed, it says so plainly, tells you nothing was changed, and offers Try again. Suggestions that don’t match your script are left out of the list instead of sitting there greyed out.
  4. v2.8.5

    A tidier script editor on a phone

    • The first time you press Start on a script with no tags, the editor points at Tag with AI and says why. Start without tags is right there, and it only asks once.
    • On a phone the editor’s toolbar is two neat rows: the formatting buttons, then Tags, Tag with AI, the structure count and Start. Everything is on screen at once.
    • The Tags and structure pop-ups open across the screen on a phone instead of running off its edge.
    • The button that opens the prompter now just says Start.
    • Going back to your scripts is a single arrow at the top left.
    • The YouTube link line is smaller and sits right under the title; it opens up when you tap into it.
    • The words ScriptFox noticed no longer overlap the Add all to vocabulary button on a phone.
    • Voice commands like “go back one sentence” land on the right word in a script that has a list, and step through a list one item at a time.
  5. v2.7.9

    The phone prompter holds instead of settling back

    • On a phone, the scroll no longer settles back after a pause. Instead the highlighted words never run more than a line and a half above the reading line: as the scroll gets there it slows to a stop and waits for your voice, then follows again once you reach the words below that point. Computers and tablets are unchanged.
  6. v2.6.3

    A quick tour the first time you start the teleprompter

    • The first time you start the teleprompter, a short walkthrough points out the four things worth knowing: the Start button that turns the mic on, the floating window you can park under your webcam or over a call, saying “Hey Fox” to talk to the prompter while you’re reading, and Edit for fixing a line without losing your place.
    • Four steps with a counter, and an × to leave at any point. It appears once.
    • The floating window is a Chrome and Edge feature, so on other browsers the walkthrough skips that step and counts accordingly.

Read your script. Don't fight your teleprompter.
