How do I get started with Stinger?
Open Stinger and read a sentence out loud in the set-up assistant to calibrate your mic and pace, then paste your script and press Load and finish. The script appears under the notch; press ⌘P to start.
What happens after I load my script?
A 3-2-1 countdown appears, giving you a second to look at the lens before the script lights up. Hover the panel to pause and see the controls: play, restart, mode (Auto / Voice / Track), speed, and a grip to drag it anywhere.
Can I run the set-up assistant again?
Yes. Open Help › Set-up Assistant… any time to recalibrate your mic sensitivity and speaking pace.
