Recording
Three routes produce the same thing as far as the rest of the pipeline is concerned: a take with audio Editory can transcribe.
| Route | What it is |
|---|---|
| Teleprompter | Records in your browser, script scrolling at your pace |
| Record on another device | Your phone opens the same teleprompter and records with its better camera |
| AI Voiceover | No filming; the script becomes narration over b-roll and graphics |
The teleprompter
Section titled “The teleprompter”Reachable from the sidebar at Teleprompter, from a script’s Record Video button, or as step 2 of any video flow.
The setup screen offers three ways to begin:
- Freestyle recording: no script, no prompter, just record
- Write script: go make one first
- Read from a script: search your scripts and add them to a queue, so you can record several in one sitting
On the stage
Section titled “On the stage”Live camera with the script overlaid and the current words highlighted. The controls worth knowing:
| Control | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Scroll speed | Match it to how you actually talk. Too fast is the single most common reason a first take is unusable |
| Alignment guide | Lines the camera up with your eyes: the difference between “talking to me” and “reading something” |
| Display Mode | How much of the script is visible at once |
| Font Size / Line Height | Bigger is easier to read from further back |
| Mirror | For a physical teleprompter rig |
| Background | Replace or blur what’s behind you |
A countdown runs before recording starts. Afterwards you get Review Recording before anything is uploaded.
Using your phone as the camera
Section titled “Using your phone as the camera”Press Record on another device. You get a QR code and a copyable link: “Scan the QR code with your phone camera, or copy the link.”
Your phone opens a stripped-down recorder: Enable camera, allow access, and a Teleprompter sheet with its own Display mode and Mirror camera settings. The script and your settings come across with the link. When you’re done it reads Recording sent, and the take appears back on your desktop.
AI voiceover
Section titled “AI voiceover”Choose AI Voiceover on step 1 and step 2 becomes Voice instead of Record. There is no camera involved at any point.
-
Check the narration script
Section titled “Check the narration script”What the voice will read. You can edit it here.
-
Choose a voice
Section titled “Choose a voice”The catalogue is previewable. Play any voice before committing.
-
Pick the model and language
Section titled “Pick the model and language”Different models support different languages and delivery controls.
-
Tune the delivery
Section titled “Tune the delivery”- Stability: how consistent the read is between sentences
- Style: style exaggeration. 0 is recommended for narration; higher values get theatrical fast
- Speed: pace
Some models replace the sliders with a Delivery radiogroup instead.
Save a combination you like as a voiceover preset and it’s one click next time, and it’s the same object a Newsroom series points at.
Audio-only recording
Section titled “Audio-only recording”Narrator modes offer Record Narration: the same teleprompter, microphone only. The tips change accordingly: quiet room, steady pace, consistent distance from the mic, and check your levels before you start.
