Creating and Managing Scripts

Overview

Scripts are the text you read while you record. In the Social Cascade Teleprompter app, My Scripts lists your team's scripts and the Social Cascade library. You can draft a script with AI help, write your own, and refine any script before you record it.

To make drafted scripts sound more like you, see Voice Training for Personalized Scripts.

Before You Start

Creating, drafting, refining and saving scripts needs the Admin or Editor role. Viewers can open and read scripts only.
Scripts belong to the team you have selected. If you're on more than one team, see Switching Teams in the Teleprompter App.
To use Draft Script, set your name or identifier first, during onboarding or in Settings.

How to Draft a Script with AI

On My Scripts, tap + and choose Draft Script.
Answer the first question with a short sentence about your topic (up to 500 characters).
Answer up to two follow-up questions to add details, angles or facts. Details can total up to 8,000 characters. To use a web page as a source, paste one link that starts with https://.
Tap Draft Script. A progress screen shows while the script is written.
When it's done, the script opens on Edit Script. Your practice phone number and website may be used where they fit.

Your team can draft up to 100 scripts per calendar month. The limit resets on the 1st. Blank scripts don't count.

How to Write Your Own Script

On My Scripts, tap + and choose New Blank Script.
Enter a Title and the script Content.
Tap Create Script. The script opens on Edit Script, where you can keep editing or tap Record Video.

How to Refine a Script

Open the script to go to Edit Script.
Tap Refine Script.
Describe what you want changed. Your instructions can total up to 2,000 characters.
Tap Refine Script in the sheet.

Refining replaces the text of this script with the new draft. To keep your current wording, copy it somewhere before you refine. Library scripts shared by Social Cascade are copied to your team first, so the original stays unchanged.

How to Manage Your Script List

Search: type in the search box to narrow the list.
Filters: tap the filter button next to search. Choose Script Visibility (All, Public, Team or Private), Scripts Recorded by (Anyone, Me or No one) and Posted to Social (Posted, Not Posted Yet or Either), or tap the To do preset. Tap Done to apply, or Clear filters to reset.
Refresh: pull down on the list.
Delete or hide: swipe a script to the left.
- Admins and Editors can delete scripts whose visibility is Team or Private. Deleting also removes that script's recordings from your device.
- For library scripts, and for Viewers, the swipe action is Hide. It removes the script from your list only.

FAQ

Q: Are scripts shared with the Web Teleprompter?

A: Yes. Scripts you create on the app appear in the web app's Teleprompter, and the other way round.
