Speed control — pace the notch line by line.
Switch the HeyNotch scroll cadence inline. Slow for emphasis, fast for filler.
<!-- speed:slow --> This line matters most. <!-- speed:normal -->
<!-- speed:slow --> ... <!-- speed:normal -->Most teleprompter software gives you one fixed scroll speed. HeyNotch lets you change it inline so the cadence of your script matches the cadence of your delivery.
Slow down before the close. Speed up through context. Drop in <!-- speed:slow -->, <!-- speed:normal -->, or <!-- speed:fast --> anywhere.
Three presets
slow, normal, fast — or supply an exact WPM number.
Live preview
The editor shows a sky-blue badge at every speed change so you see pacing at a glance.
Survives branches
Speed changes inside a branch apply only to that branch.
Real-world examples
Streamdown scripts you can copy.
Drop these straight into the HeyNotch editor. They're production-tested, branched, and ready to personalise with your variables.
Slow down for the closing line
Most of the script runs at normal pace. The line that matters slows to half-speed.
We've covered features, pricing, and timeline. Here's what I'd recommend as the next step. <!-- speed:slow --> Friday morning, fifteen minutes with your CFO. We get her aligned, and you have signatures by Wednesday. <!-- speed:normal --> Sound good?
