OtO
What OtO is
OtO is teleprompter software that can trigger stage and presentation actions as a script moves forward. Operators add markers to script text to send MIDI notes or OSC messages, advance slides, and launch macro stacks. Listed connections include PowerPoint, QLab through OSC, lighting consoles, media servers, playback systems using MIDI or HTTP, video routers, and streaming software. OtO says scripts, cues, and integrations run locally and that it works fully offline. Its desktop application can conduct OtOSlides for presentation decks and OtOView for tablets and smartphones. A caller-support window shows upcoming cues, countdowns, cue types, and time until execution. Operators can jump between script sections, pause or resume cues, override triggers, and reorder markers during a show. The software supports remote control, MIDI controllers, and profiles for Loupedeck CT and Contour Shuttle Pro and Xpress. The free demo allows unlimited personal use with all features, but adds a watermark to the Prompter panel and external window, plus an occasional nag screen. Paid options include rentals and an annual license.
