    The secret around 04:00 of getting the Elgato Camera Hub App to use the voice dictation was the typical macOS pop-up saying " would like to control this computer with access to the functions of the accessibility feature." (translated from German dialogue) during the first start after the update. If this does not pop up, add the Elgato Camera Hub App manually to the OS accessibility features.
    It's "just" the system-wide macOS dictate function - which could be also controlled via Apple keyboard/shortcut. Nevertheless, worked as a charme here, even routed via the Rodecaster Pro II connected Mic. 🎙
    But as usual and regardless of this: Excellent video again, Tom. Many 🙏🏻and 🤗!

    Thank you for making this video! I was going crazy with the opacity changing on the text half way through, but all of my googling on how to get rid of that was coming up short. There was no clear documentation about this "feature" either, so I was getting concerned this was just a glitch for me. Honestly I found it to be so distracting. I hope it's something that is able to be altered in settings soon.

    Elgato Camera Hub released update version 1.9.2 (3017) in the last few days (April 7, 2024). I've been running v 1.9.1 for the last week or so. They still have a ways to go building out this software but it's great to see them keeping it updated.

    I've struggled more with Prompter and having my eyes not look like they're looking at the lens than I did when I used the Glde Gear Prompter. I'm glad they offered the overlay. I know some people were putting Xs on their Promter screens and other stuff. This is much appreciated.

    I just clicked on the dictation button and it said to enable dictation in the keyboard settings, which I hadn't done. In the keyboard settings you can select what you want your audio source to be in the dictation settings. I assume Camera Hub will follow whatever is set as your choice there.

    Also, a quick tip for dictation especially from a Mac sometimes you have to go into the settings and make sure that your computer is allowed or the software is allowed to use dictation. This was a big problem for me for a while because I would use it for Notion and other software, and it took like three months for me to figure out also updates restarting your computer the whole 9 yards. Hope this gets you going in the right directions far as dictation, but it can't be a pain. Mine works perfectly now even with the Elgato prompter I just received my Elgato prompter and I just started playing around with it, but mines came with the new software version already installed when I downloaded it.

    Hey Tom! I was able to get the dictation feature working with my prompter. When I clicked the microphone, I was directed to the settings to give accessibility permissions to the Elgato Camera Hub. Then the next time I tapped the microphone, a little blue mic appeared in my prompter chapter and I could dictate right into the prompter. There appears to be a built in microphone in the device. Hope you're able to activate it! Btw, to test it I just held my phone to the prompter and played this video! It was able to keep up with you about 90% of the time which I thought was pretty good. However of you're too far from the prompter it registers nothing, so proximity and /or volume of the dictation source is something to be aware of.

    I'm not wrapping my head around how the foot pedal works. Do you hold it down to scroll the text and then lift off the pedal to stop?

    9:45 in my “Creator Quick Start” course I teach people to use the Elgato Stream Deck pedal to start/stop and nudge the prompter up or down. Almost entirely simulates the benefits voice tracking would provide. Also.. the Stream Deck + has rotary dials that can be used to fine tune the prompter speed, or even change it organically while the script is rolling as long as your arm is slightly out of view.

But what I need to do now is work on my podcast- the format is I do a on-camera introduction, show a UA-cam video, then introduce my co-host who is in Philadelphia (on video). Will I have to use OBS to bring in the audio from the Rodecaster Pro2? If so it would be fabulous if you could please show me how to set this up? Equipment involved is the Elgoto Prompter, and Rodecaster 2

    • @tombuck

      You can select the RCP2 as your audio source in OBS and then control everything else from the mixer itself. Your co-host will be on one of the RCP's channels and you'll be on the other, but OBS will just hear the whole mix.
      You might need to experiment with mix minus/custom output routing to make sure that your co-host doesn't hear an echo, but can still be heard in the broadcast.

I have a 3 monitors PLUS the prompter, prompter is between 2 of those screens so have to drag through the prompter to go between the 2 screens on either side of it, (M2 Max MAc Studio, OS Sonoma 14.2). Having updated, (love the crosshairs for visual of where the camera lens is), when I turn off the prompter via switch in the menu it behaves exactly as yours does in the video, screen stops displaying whats on it, can still just barely see the backlighting. My problem is it is still there as far as my "system" sees and I still have to drag my mouse "through" the prompter to go between displays on either side of the prompter, even see the cursor as it goes across the blank prompter, even though it is OFF via the Camera Hub software.

    I think it would be cool if Elgato let you adjust the height of your crosshair and that in turn changes the point on the screen in which the text gets grayed out. I get that it's meant to be a reference to find your camera lens, but I think most people's eyes naturally read closer to the top. Like you said, you can't really tell you're not looking right into the camera if you look off center, but to me it would make more sense if you could adjust the crosshair to have it serve as a reference for your reading point.

  • @hardymedia
    @hardymedia 9 місяців тому

    I've owned other teleprompters, but the Elgato Prompter wins on so many levels - especially for the price. And the fact that it's so light and compact that I can trust it hanging off a camera lens? Sweet. Software: not so much. The stand-alone Teleprompter Pro+ software running on all devices with cloud sync for scripts is runaway better and worth the price. It would be cool if Teleprompter Pro+ offered a team and/or guest version. I use the multi-OS/device capability to do last minute edits while keeping the talent/speaker in front of the camera. The scenario I'm envisioning is group writing and re-writing of scripts up to the last moment of recording.

The software tells me to give permission in 'settings', which I have done, but it still asks, preventing me from using it on live calls. I emailed Elgato support and didn't get a reply.

      This is a 1.9 update, and I’d be willing to be that a 2.0 update will be pretty significant. But like I said in the video- definitely send feedback to Elgato! They do actually listen.

    This update is a real pain in the ass. The scroll speed is now not constant, but the set percentages are based on paragraph size. So I have to put everything into one. Editing in the scenario window is killing myself, the whole paragraph bounces up as soon as I put the cursor in, etc. Promter is almost unusable for me at this point. Who the hell tested this before putting it into production?

  • @andreasdk
    @andreasdk 8 місяців тому

    DON'T UPDATE!!! The way the text now turns dark just above the middle basically ruins the prompter. Yes, it's good to be polite but I'm really surprised Elgato thought it was a good idea to make such a drastic change and not even making it optional or adjustable. So sorry that I updated this.

    The text going dark half-way up makes it an instant no from me. That would be incredibly annoying. I don’t always read below the half way point, if I’m chatting around something! And lack of formatting or colour in the text is a very basic requirement too, how on earth did they miss that? 🙄

    I own an Elgato Prompter. Unfortunately it has a really REALLY significant software problem. It automatically leaves big gaps between paragraphs, and there are no settings in the software to change this. So - you have to leave long pauses when you read the prompter, which sounds completely unnatural. I have been in touch with Elgato and they acknowledge that this is a software issue. However, they won't commit to fix it. So, I have an Elgato prompter which cost me a lot of money, but which is largely useless because I sound weird - leaving long pauses - when trying to read from it. Come on, Elgato - provide some customer service, please! You know that this is a problem yet you won't fix it and you continue to sell this product when you know there is a significant problem with it. Not cool. NOT COOL.

    It si weird that you claim that it is the best prompter software? Sorry . There are no basic features like different colour of text, lack of import .docx or other text files, underlining text. Those are basic features that are everywhere almost . C'mon.

    • @tombuck
      @tombuck  8 місяців тому +1

      Definitely agree those need to be added ,and I'm sure they will. But as someone who's used all kinds of prompter software for 20+ years, I can tel you this is the best overall, especially for small or solo crews.

      They use a lot of different ones, but they're usually like these: prompterpeople.com/stagepro-presidential-teleprompter-pair-series/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkL3KrLCLhQMVAxStBh3wCA2LEAQYASABEgIANPD_BwE
      They don't have a camera behind them, but allow it to look like the person is making more eye contact with an audience.
