Teleprompter Module

The Teleprompter module displays text prompts for reading or speaking tasks, with configurable voiced and silent modes. When you add the Teleprompter module, a configuration widget appears in the scrollable area where you can load a JSON file containing sentences and timing parameters. A teleprompter window displays the sentences with word-by-word highlighting. An example can be found under acquisitions/teleprompter_dates.json.

Configuration

The teleprompter configuration is defined via a JSON file with the following structure:

{
  "sentences": [
    "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.",
    "Hello, this is a test sentence.",
    "Another example for demonstration."
  ],
  "durationStart": 1000,
  "durationPerSentence": 3000,
  "durationRest": 2000,
  "numberofRepeatsVoiced": 2,
  "numberofRepeatsSilent": 1
}

Parameters

• sentences: Array of strings, each containing a sentence to display
• durationStart: Initial delay (in milliseconds) before the first sentence
• durationPerSentence: Duration (in milliseconds) for each sentence display
• durationRest: Duration (in milliseconds) of rest periods between repetitions
• numberofRepeatsVoiced: Number of times to repeat each sentence in voiced mode
• numberofRepeatsSilent: Number of times to repeat each sentence in silent mode

How It Works

1. When streaming starts, a teleprompter window opens displaying "START"
2. After durationStart milliseconds, the sentence sequence begins
3. For each sentence:
4. The sentence is repeated numberofRepeatsVoiced times in VOICED mode
5. Each repetition is followed by a REST period of duration durationRest
6. Then the sentence is repeated numberofRepeatsSilent times in SILENT mode
7. Each repetition is followed by a REST period
8. When all sentences are complete, the sequence stops
