Key Features

Pause on Hover

Pause the scrolling text when users hover over the box for better readability. This user interaction feature ensures users can easily read the content without it moving too quickly. The pause functionality works on both desktop (mouse hover) and mobile devices (touch), providing an improved user experience across all platforms.

Multiple Scroll Directions

Choose from four scroll directions to match your website's design needs:
- Left to Right: Traditional scrolling from left to right
- Right to Left: Reverse scrolling from right to left
- Top to Bottom: Vertical scrolling downward
- Bottom to Top: Vertical scrolling upward

Dynamic display options enhance the presentation with flexible scroll direction settings, allowing you to create the perfect visual flow for your content.

Adjustable Scroll Speed

Fully control the scrolling speed to suit your content and audience preferences. Choose from multiple speed options ranging from very slow (0.3) to ultra fast (10), ensuring a comfortable reading experience for all users. Speed customization allows you to control how fast or slow the text scrolls based on the context of the page and the amount of content displayed.
