Securely connect people, workloads, and even AI agents to anything on the internet with Tailscale, the secure connectivity platform built on WireGuard®. Tailscale brings identity to the network layer so you can control access based on users, groups, tags, and devices instead of IP addresses, applying Zero Trust principles end-to-end across every environment. Tailscale transforms your existing network from a legacy hub and spoke model to a modern, lightweight, and responsive mesh networking architecture that eliminates single points of failure and delivers better performance, scalability, and security for your end users, devices, and remote resources. Tailscale can be used for your Homelab VPN and connectivity, Business VPN, Workload Connectivity across clouds, Kubernetes clusters, regions, and environments, Privileged Access Management (PAM), Edge & IoT, CI/CD, and Securing AI – all on the same platform. Replace legacy VPNs, connect workloads across on-prem and cloud infrastructure providers, power Zero Trust initiatives, and make remote access secure by simplifying software-defined networking and security operations. Modernize your home, your organization, and your enterprise networking at scale with Tailscale. Tailscale is hardware-agnostic, so you can make decisions about your hardware independently from decisions about your network. Tailscale creates an overlay network, using your existing network, so you can incrementally deploy Tailscale without needing new network switches or to change your network architecture. Tailscale integrates with 100+ technologies and dozens of identity providers, and is available on a wide range of platforms — including Apple’s macOS, iOS, and tvOS — so you can securely connect from wherever you work.

VoiceScroll is a voice-powered teleprompter that scrolls your script automatically as you speak. No remote controls, no foot pedals, no manual scrolling — just paste your script, tap start, and speak naturally. Your words drive the scroll. VOICE-ACTIVATED AUTO SCROLL Real-time speech recognition listens to your voice and advances the script to match your natural pace. Hybrid voice tracking keeps the scroll smooth even during brief pauses. Speed up, slow down, or pause — VoiceScroll follows you, not the other way around. It also remembers where you stopped, so you can resume right where you left off. REAL-TIME WORD HIGHLIGHTING Always know exactly where you are. Current words glow orange, spoken words fade to gray, and upcoming text stays bright white. Never lose your place again. CAMERA RECORDING WITH PIP Record yourself while reading, in portrait or landscape (16:9). Orientation stays locked during recording, so your video never flips mid-take. A draggable Picture-in-Picture window shows your camera feed over the scrolling script. Switch between front and back cameras. When you finish, preview your video with a subtitle overlay, save it to Camera Roll, and export time-synced .srt subtitle files. 100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE VoiceScroll uses Apple's on-device speech recognition — your voice and scripts never leave your device. No cloud speech processing, no ads, no account required, and VoiceScroll does not collect your scripts. Your content stays yours. 34 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED Recognizes English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional, Cantonese), German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Ukrainian, Greek, Catalan, Malay, Indonesian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, and Thai, with right-to-left support for Arabic and Hebrew. Plus 4 regional variants: English (U.K.), French (Canada), Spanish (Mexico), Portuguese (Portugal). Language is detected automatically from your script. CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY Drag the reading line to your camera lens height so you can read while looking straight at the lens. Pinch to zoom the text while reading — font size adjusts instantly from 20pt to 80pt. Works in both portrait and landscape on iPhone and iPad. PERFECT FOR • Public speaking & presentations • Video creation & YouTube filming • Theater, film & voice acting • Podcasting & voice-over recording • Live streaming & broadcasting • Speeches, sermons & lectures • Practice & rehearsal sessions • Job interview recordings BUILT-IN SAMPLE SCRIPTS Get started instantly with included sample scripts featuring famous speeches — perfect for testing and practice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tailscale at 4.4 against VoiceScroll's 3.2. Tailscale also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (728 vs 11). VoiceScroll's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VoiceScroll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tailscale asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tailscale holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tailscale has 728 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Tailscale's written reviews are positive against 67% of VoiceScroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tailscale ships an update fortnightly, VoiceScroll every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
