Here to Support You

For a new Dual recording in SideReader 1.1.2, portrait and landscape videos are made together while you record. After you tap Stop, SideReader finishes and checks both files, then delivers them to the destinations you selected. There is no second full-video render.

Finishing and saving can still take a moment, depending on your device and destination. Older or imported takes may need a separate render; follow their progress in the app before sharing them.

Keep the take and any files already visible in SideReader, and check that your device has free storage. For an older or imported take, you can try the export again. If a new Dual recording does not deliver both videos, email hello@clapps.me.

Tell us what the error said, where the process stopped, which save destination you selected, and whether you were creating a portrait, landscape, or Dual recording. A screenshot of the error can help, but please leave out private content.

Tell us whether you used the front or rear camera, Single or Dual recording, portrait or landscape orientation, and SideReader Only, Photos Only, or Both as the destination. Describe whether the result was rotated, mirrored, cropped, blank, missing audio, or out of sync.

First check SideReader's permissions in your device Settings. Camera and microphone access are required to record, while Photos access is needed only when you choose to save there. If access is already enabled, email us with your device and system version.

Include the selected speed, font size, text position, and whether Voice Pace was listening, paused, or following the wrong part of the script. A short description of the script structure—such as blank lines or repeated phrases—is usually more useful than sending the script itself.

No. SideReader is local-first, so your scripts, recordings, takes, photos, and files stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. Please share only the support details you are comfortable sending.

Yes. In SideReader, open Tools → Settings & Support → Diagnostics and prepare a Usage Log Package. Script text and full file paths are removed by default. Review the privacy options before sharing the package.

Please do not send private scripts, recordings, identification, passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information unless it is genuinely necessary.

Absolutely. Email hello@clapps.me and tell us what would make SideReader more useful to you. We read every message, even when we cannot promise that a particular feature will be added.
