PromptSmart Pro Remote Control is an optional, companion app to the PromptSmart Pro teleprompter app (subscription required) that lets you control the scrolling of your content with a simple tap of your finger to move it forward or backward, start/stop your presentations, and return to the beginning via a WIFI connection or mobile hotspot. The Remote Control allows you to mirror the screen of your prompter display so that the content of the teleprompter display can be viewed and re-positioned from a distance. Two iOS devices with a history of connection will learn each other and connect more easily afterwards. If the remote screen sleeps, the connection will automatically be re-established once the remote control app is made active again (after a few moments).
Lilt Teleprompter
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lilt is a teleprompter built for people who speak to camera. Instead of scrolling at a fixed speed, it listens to your voice and moves the script as you read. Pause to think, slow down when you need time, add an extra line, or restart a phrase. Lilt waits for you and continues exactly where you left off. A live front-camera preview sits behind your words, so your gaze stays on the lens and your delivery looks natural. When you are ready, record straight to a 1080p video with audio. Your takes stay on your device until you decide what to do with them. Note: Lilt is not free to use. The free download lets the app check whether your iPhone supports on-device speech recognition before you commit to paying. You can also practice with a selection of public domain texts. Built around your voice - On-device speech recognition paces the script as you speak, so there is no fixed scroll speed to fight. - The cursor stays in the upper third of the screen, keeping the next few words within reach at all times. - If you pause to gather a thought, the script holds its place instead of racing ahead. - You can scrub the script by hand at any time, and manual control never interrupts your recording. Made for reading to camera - Front-camera preview behind the script for a natural eye line. - Mirror mode for beam-splitter teleprompter rigs. - Preamble mode keeps the script still while you deliver a spoken slate, then releases when you begin. - Record 1080p video with audio, saved to a file the app keeps for you. - Record as many versions as you like, then mark the good takes. Speaks your language - Choose a recognition language per script from the languages your device can transcribe. - Recognition runs quickly and entirely on the device. No wi-fi connection needed while you speak*, no network latency to worry about. Private by design - No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. - Speech recognition is fully on-device, and nothing you say is sent anywhere. - Your takes are stored privately on your iPhone. Saving a recording to Photos is always your choice and permission to access your library is only requested when you export. * Data connection required in advance to download language recognition data
