From there, the text can be pasted with a +simple mouse click. autocue will then wait for a period of time +relative to the size of the text, before moving onto the next +paragraph. Successive cut buffers will be used, and then will wrap +to the beginning. + +The speed can be varied whilst the program is running - by sending +a SIGUSR1 to the process, autocue will go faster. Sending a SIGUSR2 +to the process will make it go slower. + +This program can be used to scroll a presentation, along with timing +information (a beep is sounded when the next buffer should be pasted), +and the presenter can simply paste into the presentation window. |
