Good evening. Tonight we're going somewhere most of us never see: a working harbor, after dark. At ten o'clock the last ferry ties up, the cafés stack their chairs, and the quay belongs to the night crew. They have eight hours to unload two ships and have the fleet ready by dawn. Nobody here raises their voice. The cranes are too loud for that, so the whole operation runs on hand signals, radios and a whiteboard that nobody is allowed to wipe.

How to use it

Paste the script, pick a size you can read from where you will stand, and start slower than you think. Keep your eyes on the red marks: that is the line you are reading. Move the reading line up toward the top of the screen if your camera sits above it. Click the prompter or press Space to pause.

For a rig

Behind beam-splitter glass the text reads backwards. Tick the first mirror, put this window on the display under the glass and press Full screen, then run it from the keyboard. If your rig also turns the image upside down, tick the second mirror too. A black background cuts glare on the glass. Rig setup, in full.

What it keeps and sends

Nothing. The script stays in this tab and is gone when you close it. The page makes no request after it loads and stores nothing in your browser. The speed, size, width, reading line and mirror settings sit in the page address, so you can bookmark a setup or send it to whoever runs the rig. The script is never in the address. Right-to-left scripts, such as Hebrew and Arabic, read right to left.

How the speed works

Each step of speed moves a tenth of a line a second, whatever the text size, so speed 4 moves about one line every two and a half seconds. A bigger size or a narrower line shows fewer words a line, so turn the speed up a step when you go large. To match your own pace, take the reading pace test, then check the running time in the script timer.
