How is a prompter for songs different from a script teleprompter?
A script teleprompter runs a single long text from top to bottom. A gig is a list of short texts in an order that changes when the room changes. Live Mode treats the song as the unit.
Each song opens at its first line, with its own key and BPM at the top of the screen. A bar at the bottom names the song that is up next, and a tap takes you there. The setlist drawer shows what is playing now and what follows, so you can jump to a different song or pull a request forward without leaving the stage view.
Inside a song you get large lyrics on a dark, full-screen view, with chords if you have added them. Tap or pinch to change the text size. The screen stays awake where the browser supports it, so test that on your own device at a rehearsal before you rely on it.
How do you get your lyrics into Live Mode?
Paste them. Open a song in your setlist and paste the words you already sing from. That is the dependable route, because you have checked that text yourself.
StageFloww can also fetch lyrics where they are available. Not every song has lyrics available, and a fetched lyric may not match the version your band plays, so read it through before the gig.
If the lyrics are in a script you do not read, Live Mode has a switch between the original script and English letters. The transliteration reference lists which scripts are covered, and the free lyrics converter lets you try it on text you already have.
Does it scroll hands-free?
Yes, with auto-scroll. Switch it on and the lyrics move up the screen by themselves. The starting speed is estimated from the length of the song, and Slower, Pause and Faster controls sit on screen while it runs. That is the hands-free part.
A foot pedal does a different job. A Bluetooth pedal moves to the next or previous song. It is not a page turner: it does not scroll the lyrics. Auto-scroll does that.
Which pedal keys does Live Mode respond to?
Live Mode listens for ordinary keyboard keys, so a Bluetooth pedal or a keyboard that sends any of these will work:
| Key sent | What Live Mode does |
|---|---|
| PageDown, Down arrow, Right arrow | Next song |
| PageUp, Up arrow, Left arrow | Previous song |
| Space, Enter | Next song |
| Escape | Leaves Live Mode |
StageFloww does not publish a list of supported pedal brands. If your pedal can be set to send a key from this table, it will change songs. Holding the pedal down moves on once; it does not run through the set.
Does it work on an Android tablet?
Yes. StageFloww runs in the browser on Android phones and tablets, iPhones and laptops, and you can add it to the home screen so it opens like an app. There is nothing to install and there is no store app. A band with a mix of Android and Apple devices reads the same setlist, and band sync keeps each screen on the same song.
Live Mode is included on the Free plan. The pricing page shows what Pro adds, and the full feature list shows what else runs in the same browser tab. For a walk-through of what one person can do without paying, see StageFloww for solo singers.
What happens if the venue Wi-Fi drops mid-set?
Lyrics you have already opened on a device are kept in that browser's storage, so Live Mode keeps showing them. There is no download button and storage is limited. Before the gig, open each song in the setlist once on the device you will use, while you are online.
Song search, lyric fetch and chord fetch all need a connection. So does following a band leader.
