Awesome

I have been using this app for many years. It has never failed me. The recent update to captions is a powerful addition with even more ways to fine tune the caption styles.
If you are like me using the phone and the iPad to record videos then you won’t get an app better than this.
When it comes to support well can I say it is excellent.
I use it everyday to create contents and this app simply keeps on keeping on without failure.

Hi Digi-Life, thanks so much for your review and feedback! Great suggestion re the gain control, I'll add this to my list for future potential app enhancements :) Phil

Voice control is so glitchy.

I had such huge hope for this teleprompter. It has some great features and I really, really want to love it. I paid for the premium subscription, so it’s not just an issue with free version. The voice control is incredibly glitchy. I’ve done two videos with it and they’ve taken me sooooo long to do because the screen keeps freezing then jumping way ahead to catch up, but it ends up passing where I was in speech. A few times it’s even jumped all the way back to the beginning. It’s incredibly frustrating. Again, I want to this, because features will be great if they actually work the way they’re supposed to. Please fix it.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback but I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with voice activated scrolling. There are a few things that you can do to improve the speed/accuracy of it - see my tips in this article https://scripted.video/support/voice-activated-teleprompter-app/ - but if you're still having issues after trying these, please contact me directly at hello@teleprompterapp.com and I'll help you get it sorted. Many thanks, Phil

Great app, just one minor annoyance

The app works super well so far and has great features. The only reason for not giving five stars is that I am forced to edit the videos recorded with this app on my computer in another app afterwards to add the subtitles, if I want them to follow the color scheme of my other videos.

There are mainly two things missing in my case:

1) we can’t enter an html color code manually for subtitle text color - there is only a dot on a color matrix and getting a precise color is absolutely impossible. The html color code is already there, I would just like to be able to edit the code instead of dragging that horrible dot across millions of colors.
2) there is no option for adding an outside stroke to the subtitle text.

Other than that, I highly recommend this app!

Thanks so much for your feedback Alex, I'll definitely add these suggestions to my list of potential future improvements! Good luck with your videos :) Phil

Works well except for two major issues

Please provide an updated version this app where I DO NOT need to have an active internet connection in order to use the app which I am paying for access to. If I am in a location without internet access on my phone or WiFi the app locks up and can’t be used. Or is there a change to setting I need to make? This is needed because sometimes a person needs to make edits and record in remote locations without internet connections.

The other issue is that for some reason when I try to use the app on my iPhone 12 mini I am only able to record in portrait mode with blurred background when NOT in 4k mode. I have reinstalled several times and it doesn’t make a difference. In 4k mode it works fine, but that generates really large files which I don’t need. How to fix?

Parfait pour mes besoins

L’application est facile à utiliser, elle fournit les sous-titres aussi, on peut accélérer la vitesse de déroulement du texte, ajuster l’image… c’est exactement ce qu’il me fallait pour mes vidéos de contenus!

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup, ce retour est vraiment encourageant à lire et je suis ravi que l'application et ses fonctionnalités vous aident dans votre création vidéo :) Bonne chance, Phil

I’m trying so hard to like this App

It looks like this App has some good features but not sure if it can do what I’m needing it to do because the free version is so limited. The script starts so close to the edge of my IPad screen that I’m still not looking at my viewers, my eyes are way off to the side. This defeats the whole purpose for the App. Plus, it doesn’t look like I can slow down the script. I’m tired of spending $ on Apps that turn out to be worthless so the free version needs to include a few more features before i can decide if I want to buy in. I don’t mind paying for a good App so don’t be so skimpy on the free version. I’d buy right now but your free version hasn’t convinced me it will meet some of my greatest needs.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for your feedback, but you can do everything you've mentioned in the free version of the app:- You can edit the size/width of the script box on the screen so that it's not so close to the edge - just use the slider bars to drag it to the right size and position for your needs. - Increasing the size of the font can sometimes help with making your eyes move less from side to side (do this in the app's settings menu). - You can also move the position of the script when recording in landscape mode to get the right position for looking straight at the camera (use the app settings menu to change the position). - Finally, you can increase/decrease the script scroll speed by using the + and - buttons on the bottom right of the recording screen. So I hope this helps, but if you have further questions, please contact me directly at hello@teleprompterapp.com and I'll help you out :) Many thanks, Phil

Voice recognition

Hi, love the app but getting annoyed that the voice recognition lags out halfway through most my videos and I have to keep redoing them over and over. Anyway this can be made to keep up with my voice throughout a video - yes I have read your tips and doing all those.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. And yes, I have noticed that the voice scrolling does seem to slow down after long periods of use. I'm not entirely sure why this is and suspect it might be something on Apple's end to limit the use of this feature. I'm looking into other options for getting improved recognition as these issues are impacting a lot of people. So please bear with me, but if you're having major issues, please feel free to contact me direct at hello@teleprompterapp.com and I'll see what I can do. Many thanks, Phil

Updated from previously frustrated review

Apple won’t let me update my previous two star review: I was frustrated that the app was crashing every time I tried to add captions or save a video to my phone.

I was very pleasantly surprised when the developer replied to me two days later offering to fix it— and then they did!

The app is the best I’ve tried in terms of how easy the teleprompter function is to use, that you can add captions, etc. and moreover the company is very responsive to customer issues!

Very good and productive tool for videos

It is very good and effective tool for someone who wants to make their own videos!

Since I started using it, it made my life much easier. I can do so much with little efforts, preparation and time!

Response from developer

That's great to hear, thanks so much for your encouraging feedback :)
