About

Scriptfox

Features
Read full description

ScriptFox is the voice-tracking teleprompter for creators. It reads WITH you, not AT you. Every other teleprompter scrolls at a fixed speed you have to babysit — or makes you tap a remote to keep up. ScriptFox listens to your voice and moves your script to match, word for word. Speed up and it speeds up. Pause for effect and it waits. Go off-script and it finds your place when you come back. There's no timing knob to fight. Point the front camera at yourself, pick a script, and read. The script floats over your camera preview so your eyes stay on the lens — you look present, not like you're reading. Hit record and ScriptFox captures a clean 1080p video with audio; the teleprompter overlay never shows up in the recording. WHY CREATORS USE SCRIPTFOX • Voice-follow scrolling — the script tracks your actual speaking pace in real time, so you never race to catch the text or wait for it to catch you. • Read over the camera — a translucent overlay keeps your script right at the lens line while you record. • Record clean takes — 1080p video saved straight to your photo library, in a tidy "ScriptFox" album. Your recordings stay on your device. • Rehearse mode — practice with voice-tracking on and the camera off. • Write anywhere — draft scripts right on your phone and they sync across your devices. Folders, search, and starred scripts included. • Tune it to you — adjust text size, overlay transparency, scroll strength, and where the reading line sits, all mid-session. MADE FOR YouTubers, TikTok and Reels creators, coaches, course makers, founders shooting pitch videos — anyone who wants to sound natural on camera without memorizing a word. ACCOUNT Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — then write a script on your phone and start reading in minutes. Your scripts sync across your devices. PLANS ScriptFox is free to download, with 30 minutes of voice-following a month. Two optional subscriptions are sold in the app through In-App Purchase: • Prompter (yearly) — unlimited voice-following. • Pro (monthly) — everything ScriptFox does. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Manage or cancel them anytime in your App Store account settings.
