Save time and gain professionalism with simplified commands and smart shortcuts.

PromptNinja is the only online teleprompter designed with a "Keyboard First" philosophy. This means you can control 100% of your recording without ever lifting your hands from the keyboard (or your pedal/clicker).

Integration with External Hardware

The beauty of using standard keyboard shortcuts is that any device emulating a keyboard works natively with PromptNinja.

Elgato Stream Deck

Streamers' favorite tool.

Just drag a "Hotkey" action in Elgato software and assign SPACE key to a physical button. Add another for R (Reset) and you have a command center on your desk.

USB Pedals

For musicians and "busy hands".

If you do unboxing or play guitar, your hands are full. Use a USB pedal configured as "Space" to start/pause text with your feet.

Presenters (Clickers)

Logitech R400, R800, etc.

Most slide clickers send "Right/Left Arrow" or "Page Up/Down" commands. PromptNinja intelligently interprets this for scroll control.

Prepare Text

Paste your script. Use ENTER to break long sentences into visual blocks.

Visual Adjustment (No Mouse)

Use '+' and '-' to make font giant (comfortable reading). Use 'M' if using glass.

The Trick: The Error Loop

Messed up a line? Don't curse. Hit SPACE (Pause). Breathe. Hit Up Arrow (Go back a bit). Hit SPACE (Play). Keep recording. In editing, you'll see the pause visually in audio waveform and cut easily.

Technical Keyboard FAQ

Do shortcuts work if I'm in another window (e.g. OBS)?

Not natively (browser security limitation). PromptNinja must be 'in focus' (active window). Tip: Use a second monitor for PromptNinja and click it before starting.

Works with iPad Bluetooth keyboards?

Yes! iPadOS recognizes external keyboards perfectly and PromptNinja responds to same shortcuts (Space, Arrows) in mobile Safari/Chrome.

Can I use a game controller (Xbox/PS5)?

Directly no, but if you use software like 'JoyToKey' (Windows) or 'Mapper' (Mac) to map joystick buttons to keys (A = Space), it works perfectly!

Does 'H' key (Hide) hide text too?

No, it hides only the UI (User Interface) - buttons, menus, logo. Text remains there, floating. If background is transparent, looks like magic over your video.
