## What is PromptSmart Lite Teleprompter?

PromptSmart is the only “smart” teleprompter app. Our patented VoiceTrack™ speech recognition technology is revolutionary because it provides a robust prompting solution to automatically follow a speaker's voice in real time. PromptSmart is the market leading public speaking and video production tool.

Get PromptSmart Lite to try VoiceTrack™ risk-free before upgrading to our paid product, PromptSmart Pro. With Lite you can import files from the cloud, start up a presentation, rev-up our speech recognition engine and be amazed to see how your voice controls the pace of the scrolling and pauses when you pause. If you ad-lib or go off-script, VoiceTrack will wait patiently for you to begin reading again.

For video production professionals, VoiceTrack reduces the time you spend on shoots with amateur or semi-pro talent because VoiceTrack naturally and intuitively guides the speaker through the content. As a result, you will get higher quality and fewer takes, reducing the burden of your post-production as well. VoiceTrack is a powerful speech aid that will reduce the anxiety of public speaking and speaking on camera.

We asked tens of thousands of users what they liked most about our prompter app, and over 90% of respondents said it was VoiceTrack, calling it "awesome," "astonishing," "tremendous," “easy to use,” a “game changer”—“absolutely brilliant!!!” Our customers say it best. PromptSmart offers the most feature-rich, technologically advanced prompter app and video production solution on the market.

PromptSmart Lite is a free trial version of our more full-featured app, PromptSmart Pro.

### 1/5 — Impossible to trial

*2026-07-26*

Before I buy I would like to try it out, even if its promptsmarts own demo text. There is no demo file nor can I add a small file to test the app before I buy.  I have no idea if the app is any good or not.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-25, version 3.0*

Was hoping this was going to solve some problems, but it’s garbage. Doesn’t work. Not intuitive. Can’t use all the features. Would be much better just to give us full access to the real app for a 3 day trial. You’re probably losing out on so much money with this setup (assuming the app actually did what it’s supposed to do and in my short sample size it did not).

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-17*

There are no instructions on here and it doesn’t tell you how it’s recording or if it’s recording and it’s a cut and paste app that’s it. There’s nothing that it tells you it’s recording.
Maybe add some basic instructions to start with eh…

### 2/5 — Lite version

*2026-06-18, version 3.0*

Use of this is not intuitive. I want you to put in a title and then the story and then you hit the play button icon and you assume that it’s recording you well it doesn’t go into settings and you try to turn on video recording it once you upgrade don’t like that if they’re gonna limit you to the length, it should be all the feature

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-06-14*

Why not give a trial of the full pro version, this version is limited to the point of being completely useless.  I wanted to buy the pro app after testing, but every feature in the free version is blocked.  I don’t understand how this app gets such high ratings when it doesn’t function.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-15, version 3.0*

I decided to try their free versions before possibly buying the $29.99 app. I will also add that I have a brand new pro iPhone, up to date, no issues with any other apps, immediately after opening the app and trying to test out the prompt feature it crashes. Not only on this one but the other one they also have for free. Safe to say I will not be buying the paid version.

### 1/5 — Need the paid version to be useful now

*2025-09-02, version 3.0*

You can not operate this version now as any useful function is only an available on the $29 pro version.

### 1/5 — False Advertising-useless

*2025-05-06, version 3.0*

App claims you can record up to 3 minutes — but you can’t record at all without paying. You’re not offering a ‘lite’ version, you’re offering a fully locked one. At least let people try it before charging.  This was a complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me activate trial

*2024-10-16*

The app won’t let me activate the trial period, it only wants to upsell me to the Pro version!

### 2/5 — Terrible Lite App experience

*2024-10-02, version 3.0*

Downloaded this Lite version of the PromptSmart Pro Teleprompter app and it won’t let me do anything. If you want me to pay $30 for your Pro version you need to let me experience in the Lite version what the Pro version can actually do.
