The world's first prompting software for Macintosh, MagicScroll® has prompted talent around the world for over 25 years. Easy to use, powerful and reliable, MagicScroll is the professional's tool for teleprompting on Mac OS X. Version 6 Now available on the App Store
From bookmarks, to script Queue, MagicScroll provides specialized tools for the prompting industry.
Prompting software, like any well designed software, should be intuitive to use. With MagicScroll, if you know the basics of how to use a mouse and the Macintosh, you can be up and prompting in minutes.
Script files are opened in MagicScroll just like any other document on your Macintosh. Open a document... and start scrolling! We can open ".txt" and ".rtf" files natively. If you have a document created in another app, like Word, you can just open it, and then copy & paste it into a new MagicScroll document.
The ultimate goal of good prompting is to help make your speaker feel comfortable and confident with their presentation. MagicScroll's easy to read text and ultra-smooth scrolling help keep your talent focused on the message rather than on the challenge of reading.
Prompting sofware isn't just about making the words scroll smoothly for talent... it's also about helping your production move along quickly. We've added several tools that aid the prompter operator in making changes, navigating long files and ultimately, creating a great prompting experience for talent and crew.
Enjoy this overview of the features and functionality of MagicScroll
Whether you're an in-house production company, a student producing a low budget film for school, or an internationally famous touring rock band, MagicScroll has the ease of use, the features, and the affordability to be your choice for great prompting.
Since the introduction of Version 1, MagicScroll has continuously evolved as we moved through versions 2, 3, 4, 5 and now the introduction of MagicScroll Version 6 for Mac OS X, designed for the latest versions of both the Macintosh line of computers and the Mac operating system.
Integrating customer feedback, and our own experience using MagicScroll in our rental business, we have selectively added features while increasing performance and ease-of-use. A novice with basic Mac skills can still easily operate MagicScroll, while a more dedicated professional will find new functionality that will help him/her achieve excellence in the field of teleprompting.
Our previous version (5.1.3) has been a workhorse for many years. But as Apple issued refinements to the OS, slowly things began to break, and our dedicated users requested an update to their favorite prompting system. Some users even tried other brands, but kept reminding us how MagicScroll is so much better and easier to use.
Our focus over the development of Version 6 was to maintain our famed ease of use and to ensure a reliable app. We didn’t go crazy on adding features, though a few new ones have made it into this version.
Over the course of 3 years, Version 6 faced many technical challenges as we re-wrote the code from the ground up. We’ve met those challenges, and now have a solid, simple-to-use, powerful solution for Macintosh that should keep our users happily prompting for the foreseeable future.
And yet, most of MagicScroll’s features will go unnoticed by the producers and directors who expect the teleprompter to “just work”. But you, as an operator/owner, will know that great teleprompting can and does happen. I hope that MagicScroll helps you achieve that greatness.
Thank you for considering MagicScroll as your prompting software solution.
