CueCast Prompter
CueCast Prompter is cross-platform teleprompting software with smooth scrolling, rich-text scripts and an advanced timer system. Its editor supports bold, italic, underline, colours, highlights, baseline and alignment formatting, plus emoji. It imports Word, PowerPoint and OpenOffice documents and exports scripts to PDF. The free plan includes basic prompting, script editing, script-based triggers and full-screen prompting on a local display. Pro adds a basic 100-minute timer and an advanced timer with countdown, count-up, time-based countdowns, coloured tags and labels. Pro also supports NewTek NDI and output to Blackmagic Design devices using SDI/SMPTE2110. SlideSync can synchronise stories with slides in PowerPoint, ProPresenter and XPression.

The Pro trial lasts 30 days; afterward, use is limited to basic prompting and script editing unless a Pro licence is purchased. That licence is perpetual, with no subscription fees, but a new licence is needed to upgrade.
