Speed cues

Add HTML comments in your markdown to control scroll speed. CueMate reads them as you scroll and adjusts pace automatically.

<!-- slower --> — 0.5× speed
<!-- slow --> — 0.7× speed
<!-- normal --> — 1.0× (reset to default)
<!-- fast --> — 1.4× speed
<!-- faster --> — 2.0× speed
<!-- speed 1.2 --> — any numeric multiplier

Pause cues

Pause the scroll for a set number of seconds. Great before key points or after section transitions.

<!-- pause 2 --> — pause for 2 seconds
<!-- pause 3.5 --> — pause for 3.5 seconds

Page breaks (Notes mode)

Use a horizontal rule to split your document into pages. Navigate with the Left and Right arrow keys.

Tip: Cues are invisible in the teleprompter — they only affect scroll behavior. You won't see them while presenting.
