## What is Teleprompter Controller?

The controller app for the "Teleprompter" app, available on the Mac and iPad App Stores. (pavonine.co/teleprompter)

Play, pause, reverse prompting, change the speed, jump to segment markers, or see the time remaining, all from your phone.

Teleprompter Controller has been carefully engineered with performance in mind, for distraction-free prompting control.

Controlling the Teleprompter remotely requires both the Mac or iPad running the "Teleprompter" software and iPhone/iPod Touch running the "Teleprompter Controller" controller to be connected to the same WiFi network. Teleprompter Controller can also use Bluetooth to control Teleprompter or Teleprompter for iPad.

Note that this application is useless on its own, and requires one of the following: 
- The "Teleprompter" Mac app, available on the Mac App Store
- The "Teleprompter for iPad: app, available on the iPad App Store

## Key features

- Remote playback control
- Adjust prompting speed
- Jump to script segments
- View time remaining
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

### 4/5 — Allen

*2025-05-15*

Need iWatch Support please! Other apps have it!

### 4/5 — Please support horizontal orientation & split screen on iPad!

*2020-12-15*

I want to use this app in conjunction with a soundboard on my iPad. This app would be absolutely amazing if it would split screen and have a horizontal orientation for the iPad. That would be everything I could need and more!

### 2/5 — So close...

*2020-10-26*

This would work so much greatly better if the controller could show the text on its screen. Without that, a studio assistant has to stand next to the camera and move the text by hand reading it backwards, and risk being in the camera's FOV.  This is a great product but that awkwardness has me now searching for alternatives.

### 5/5 — There is nothing like it!

*2020-08-02*

This works very well.  I have the iPad setup in front of the camera on a reflector screen, and the iPhone in hand. The controller lets you speed up and slow down, stop the display.  The best teleprompter setup I have tried. The controller is free but I paid for the iPhone app. I am happy with it.

### 1/5 — One star for the idea.

*2020-07-29, version 3.0.1*

I downloaded this app to be able to connect iPad and iPhone for remote control. Unfortunately it fails to do what it proposes.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2020-05-18*

I’m able to control the Teleprompter APP on my iPad and on my MacBook Pro with no issues. I’m using an iPhone XS.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-03-18, version 3.0.1*

Just doesn’t work at all

Shame, because the app on the laptop is quite good and I would have bought it but without a remote control it’s useless to me.

### 3/5 — Works OK

*2019-09-12, version 3.0.1*

Works OK, and over all it’s quite good. I wish you could have the option to just display the play/pause button. I like to have it on my desk and if the text is going a little fast I can just tap the screen while keeping my eyes on the camera to pause for a fraction of a second. Some times I end up hitting the speed slider, which makes the matter worse

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on it’s own | Waste of money

*2019-06-25*

This app does not work alone. App launches and the screen is frozen with no functionality. Many others with this same issue. This app used to run independently from other apps and with no connection to the internet after initial download (if you didn’t have access to WiFi for example)....why change the product to work differently in a negative way? Strange. Waste of money.

### 4/5 — Works

*2018-08-29*

Pros:
The app works as expected. I like the fact that I can have more than one project and the mobile app can see them. The app response almost in real time, close enough that most will never see any latency. 

Cons:
After a few minutes I have to reconnect to the project from within the app. I would give 5 stars if the app would just stay connected during my sessions. With no updates to this app for some time now, I’m subject to believe they have abandon this app...

Request:
It would be nice to set a different speed when going in reverse.
