Teleprompter App

Teleprompter App is a user-friendly application built using Tkinter. It allows users to input dialogue for a teleprompter and specify the total duration for the video in minutes. The app then automatically displays each dialogue prompt for an appropriate amount of time, with options to pause and resume the script. Additionally, it shows the remaining time left for the entire dialogue at the bottom of the teleprompter window. If needed, users can press ESC to go back and edit their input without losing their progress.

Features

• Easy Input: Users can conveniently input dialogue lines in the format "Speaker: Dialogue".
• Duration Handling: Enter the total duration of the video in minutes for automated time management.
• Time Display: Shows the remaining time for the dialogue to complete.
• Pause/Resume Capability: Easily pause and resume the teleprompter using a button or the spacebar.
• Edit Input: Press ESC to return to the input screen with previously entered data for quick edits.
• Color-coded Text: Different speakers' dialogues can be displayed in different colors.
