Online course teleprompter — cut fewer takes.
HeyNotch lesson scripts above your camera. Variables reuse across modules. Consistent pacing course-wide.
If you've recorded a course, you know the loop: stumble on a line, restart, stumble again, restart, eventually patch the take in the editor. Each lesson takes 10× longer than the final video runtime.
HeyNotch flips that. Your script sits above your camera. You read in one take, looking directly at your students. Variables for {{course_name}} and {{module_name}} reuse across every lesson.
Lesson templates
Welcome → recap → outcomes → first concept. The pedagogical arc, scripted.
Variable reuse
Define {{course_name}} once globally; every lesson references it.
Branches for difficulty
Easy / medium / hard branches let you record three skill levels from one script.
Section headings
Visible at-a-glance navigation through long lesson outlines.
Outcomes you can expect
- 01Cut fewer takes per lesson
- 02Maintain consistent pacing across modules

Today we're going one level deeper.
By the end, you'll know exactly when to
use Context vs Redux.
*Energetic. Confident. They paid for this.*

First — when Context is enough.
Second — when Redux pays off.
Third — the migration path.

Open your editor — we're writing this together.Common questions
Will it look like I'm reading?
Not if your camera and notch are aligned. HeyNotch defaults sit the notch directly above the lens.
Save scripts for the whole course?
Yes. The library holds unlimited scripts and you can group by category. Treat each module as a script.
Auto-cue for tutorial steps?
Use stage directions like *click the play button* to remind yourself of the screen action without saying it aloud.
