After using a handful of other teleprompter apps, I wasn't overly impressed at the level of manual navigation required. That's why I built Prompter. Prompter is the world's first TRULY smart teleprompter app for iPhone and iPad. It adapts to you as you record. If you begin to speak slower and fall behind, Prompter will slow down and wait for you to catch up. If you begin speaking faster than the script is scrolling, it will speed up to keep your pace! Prompter listens to you as you are recording. If you make a mistake, tell it to go back a sentence, back a paragraph, or back to the beginning. No more bluetooth remotes, no more walking back and scrolling back, just a living, breathing teleprompter that works the way you need it to. Included in Prompter: · Create and manage multiple scripts directly in the app. Your scripts can be as long as you need them to, no limit to the length of the script! · Mirror mode means that you can use Prompter in a physical teleprompter setup. Simply enable it, and place it in the teleprompter to see your text overlaid over a larger camera. · If you don't have a physical teleprompter, you can record using your iPhone or iPad's selfie camera. Recordings can then be saved to either the Photos app or exported to Files. · You can choose to preview your camera while recording, or disable it if it's too distracting. · Change the color of the text - the next available word and any upcoming text colors can be configured by you. · If you do want to manually scroll up or down your script using your finger, you can! Simply tap the word you wish to restart from when you're ready. Prompter will pause the auto-scrolling and wait for you to begin again. · Scripts are backed up to your iCloud account. This means they're backed up automatically in the background, and synced across all your devices. · Script templates! Need help building the perfect script for a specific occasion? We have script templates available for use, so you can start with a bit of inspiration. Wedding speeches, YouTube videos, elevator pitches, and more! Introducing Prompter Pro! While my goal was to make this teleprompter app as functional as possible for a majority of use cases, there are some additional features you may find valuable, especially at a low, once-off price that has been made affordable to individuals and businesses alike. Additional features available in Prompter Pro: · Record in 1080p and 4k (if your device supports it) · Preview your camera using Apple's native Picture-in-Picture view. If you find the camera background too distracting, then you can simply preview the PiP and swipe it to the side to continue your recording. · Create and sync 4 or more scripts! I included 3 for free, because I didn't want to create a painful barrier for unpaid users, but if you'd like to extend that more than three, you can with Prompter Pro! Coming soon: · Eye contact alignment! If your recording makes it look like you're reading from a script, you can optionally choose to have your eye contact realigned using machine learning. This will be an optional, paid add-on and is coming in a future release. · Apple Watch Remote! While the voice control and adaptation features are powerful, some users may want more manual control without having to reach out and touch their iPhone. We're planning to add an Apple Watch Remote function in a future release to address this.
