Auto Scroll¶
Auto Scroll automatically scrolls pages up or down in the active window. This is useful for reading long documents, displaying scrolling content on a screen, or automating scroll-dependent workflows.
Setting Up Auto Scroll¶
- Select Auto Scroll from the action list.
- Configure the scroll parameters:
- Direction -- Scroll down or scroll up
- Speed -- How fast the page scrolls (slow, medium, fast, or custom pixels per interval)
- Interval -- Time between each scroll action
- Distance -- How far to scroll each time (in lines or pixels)
- Click Start.
Configuration Options¶
| Setting | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Down / Up | Scroll direction |
| Speed | Slow / Medium / Fast / Custom | Scrolling speed |
| Interval | 100ms - 10s | Time between scroll steps |
| Distance | 1-100 lines | Lines scrolled per step |
| Smooth | On / Off | Smooth scrolling vs. stepped |
Scroll Modes¶
Continuous Scroll¶
Scrolls steadily in one direction until stopped. Good for:
- Reading long articles or documents hands-free
- Displaying scrolling content on a presentation screen
- Auto-scrolling through social media feeds
Bounce Scroll¶
Scrolls down to the bottom of the page, then back up, creating a continuous loop. Good for:
- Digital signage with scrolling content
- Monitoring dashboards with long pages
Timed Scroll¶
Scrolls for a specific duration, then stops:
- Set a total duration (e.g., scroll for 5 minutes)
- Useful for timed reading sessions
Use Cases¶
Teleprompter Mode¶
Display a script or speech in a text editor and use Auto Scroll at a slow, steady pace to create a teleprompter effect:
- Open your script in a text editor or browser
- Set direction to Down
- Set speed to Slow (adjust to match your reading pace)
- Start the automation
Content Display¶
For reception screens, trade shows, or digital signage:
- Open a webpage with your content
- Set bounce scroll to continuously cycle through the page
- Combine with Browser Tab Change to rotate between multiple pages
Fine-Tuning Speed
Use the custom speed option to set the exact pixels-per-step value. Start with a low value and increase gradually until the scroll speed matches your needs.
Active Window
Auto Scroll sends scroll commands to the active window. Make sure the target window is in the foreground before starting.
