Remote control button mapping for Teleprompter PAD app

Below is a reference image showing the default button mapping of the remote control buttons when you use it in combination with its custom made app: TeleprompterPAD app.


Choose the mapping mode from the APP, depending on whether you want the buttons near the play/pause button to perform on-the-fly speed or fast forward and rewind. Scroll Mode (Easy Mode): Map "Forward/Rewind buttons" near the play/pause button. It is recommended to preset a speed faster than your reading speed and then use only the play/pause button to control text scrolling. Speed Mode (Pro Mode): Map "+/- Speed buttons" near the play/pause button. Select it if you prefer to use on-the-fly speed to control text scrolling.

*NOTE: Some keys may differ on your OS due to OS-specific features, eg. KEYBOARD only available on iOS and MOUSE only available on Android and Windows.
