Conference teleprompter — rehearse like the day-of.

HeyNotch keynote scripts, Q&A branches, transition cues — all above your camera while you practice.

The week before a conference talk, you rehearse 30 times. Most of those rehearsals are at your laptop, not on the stage. Practising with notes in hand teaches your eyes the wrong path — they keep dropping down.

HeyNotch puts the script where the camera is, which is where the audience will be. Rehearse with eye contact and the script is exactly where it'll be on the day.

Keynote scripts

Section headings + stage directions for transitions. Time estimates per section.

Q&A branches

Pre-script the 5 questions you know they'll ask. Branched and ready.

Memorisation drills

Loop mode replays the script for repeated practice. Speed-up for fluency drills.

On-stage backup

If your venue allows a confidence monitor, HeyNotch can drive it directly via mirror mode.

Real-world examples

Streamdown scripts you can copy.

Conference keynote opening

5-minute opening hook with timing, stage directions, and Q&A branches.

# TEDx · 5-minute talk

The thing about silence —

<!-- pause:2s -->

— is that it's not empty.

<!-- speed:slow -->

It's the most underused tool every
great speaker has.

<!-- speed:normal -->

*Pause. Eye contact across the room.*

## [Q: How do you practice it?]
Honestly — you don't. You feel it.

## [Q: Doesn't it feel awkward?]
Yes. That's the point.

## [Q: How long is too long?]
Three seconds. Past that, you've lost them.

Common questions

Will I become dependent on the prompter?

Use Loop mode for memorisation drills — it replays your script so you can rehearse until you don't need to look.

Mirror mode for physical teleprompter?

Yes. Settings → Display → Mirror flips text horizontally for glass teleprompter rigs.

Time per section?

The editor shows estimated read-time at your current WPM. Each section's time updates as you write.
