Write and import scripts
New script
Section titled “New script”Tap + in the script list. In the editor you write or paste text. At the top you choose the script’s Language (German or English); speech recognition uses it. Below the text you see the word count and speaking time; the list estimates it at 140 words per minute.
The editor has two tabs: Text and Recordings (the recordings for this script, see Recording).
Import
Section titled “Import”Supported formats:
| Format | Notes |
|---|---|
| Text (.txt) | UTF-8, UTF-16 with BOM or Windows-1252 |
| Page numbers and repeated headers are removed, wrapped lines are joined | |
| Word (.docx) | only the current Word format, not .doc |
How to import:
- In the app: in the script list, tap the import icon (arrow into a tray) and choose the file in the Files app.
- From another app: share the file or choose “Open in …” and tap Prompt Flower.
The title comes from the file name. The language initially follows your iPhone’s language; check it in the editor.
If a file cannot be read, the app shows Import failed. Export other formats (such as Pages or .doc) as PDF or .docx first.
Stage directions
Section titled “Stage directions”Anything in square brackets is a stage direction: [Pause], [smile], [look to the side]. It appears dimmed and in italics in the prompter, is skipped during voice follow and is not counted as a word. Above the keyboard, [Direction] inserts one.
An opening bracket without a closing one ends at the next paragraph.
Paragraphs
Section titled “Paragraphs”A blank line separates paragraphs. Paragraphs matter: Back to paragraph jumps to their start, and the YouTube chapters in the export are made from paragraphs.
Speaker changes
Section titled “Speaker changes”A line that starts with @Name: marks who is speaking, for example @Anna:. Above the keyboard, @Speaker: inserts the marker. The name appears grey in the prompter and is not followed. In version 1.0 the script follows all speakers; choosing who “you” are is planned.
Writing tips
Section titled “Writing tips”Short sentences with one idea each are easier to read aloud. More in Writing for speaking. The speaking time calculator shows how long your text takes to say.
Rename, duplicate, delete
Section titled “Rename, duplicate, delete”Swipe across a script in the list or touch and hold it: Rename, Duplicate, Delete. If the script has recordings, the app asks whether to delete them too (Delete script and recordings or Delete script only).
