The Prompter command is used to very rapidly record a large number of prompts.

The prompter works with a prompt script file. The script file contains the prompt text, the names of the files to save the prompts in and a short description for each prompt. You can read and record the prompts one by one from the prompter screen simply by tapping the space bar. The space bar initiates and stops each recording. The Left and Right arrow keys allow navigation from prompt to prompt while the Up and Down or Page Up and Page Down keys allow scrolling through a long prompt that does not fit on a single screen. Prompts can be rerecorded easily.

The prompter flashes the script's messages on-screen in a large typeface. This enables the speaker (voice talent) to read them, one by one, into the microphone and save them automatically under the file names previously defined in the script file. This is a real time-saver.

Recorded messages can be played back immediately for verification from within the prompter, before proceeding to the next prompt.

The script file format is described in detail elsewhere. The format of the prompt script file is the same as the format used by the Group and Ungroup Indexed commands. Therefore, a recording sequence made with the Vox Studio prompter and translated into the final target format can immediately be used to generate one large indexed file containing all the recorded prompts.

You can change the default display font for the Prompter by setting it in the Tools/Options/Prompter font dialog box.

The Prompter command can also be activated by clicking on buttonprompter.gif in the toolbar section.
