Usage

Teleprompter version 0.1.8 was installed as a flatpak from Flatub. The initial screen displays a demonstration script that can be scrolled. It is possible to open a custom text file or paste text for use as a script. All the tested features worked as intended. I will use Teleprompter on the desktop when I create videos. It will also be used on a future Linux phone.
