PromptSmart is a patented teleprompter application that automatically follows as you speak in real time, without the internet, making your presentations or video productions less stressful and more efficient. PromptSmart's innovative VoiceTrack scrolling method is now expanded into even more languages other than English including: French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Hindi, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Polish, and Dutch. VoiceTrack automatically moves the text as you speak and stops when you pause or improvise. PromptSmart will wait for you to begin speaking the script again before it continues moving. With PromptSmart, speakers stay calm and act naturally, which saves time and is less stressful. There is no time limit to your presentations. VoiceTrack will continue to listen and scroll with your voice until you close the presentation screen. PromptSmart+ is fast, accurate, and secure, performing all of the speech recognition tasks on the device, without the need for an internet connection. PromptSmart+ will make your presentations or video productions less stressful and more efficient. PromptSmart+ is an invaluable teleprompter tool for a wide range of public speakers; clergy, educators, politicians, podcasters, audiobook creators, business leaders, performers or for those in broadcast media.

PrompterOne
Read full descriptionHide full description
PrompterOne is a voice-following teleprompter and recorder for creators, presenters, educators, and speakers. Keep your eyes near the lens while your script stays in view. READ YOUR WAY Choose Voice Follow, Manual, Fixed Speed, or Timed mode. Follow your natural pace, pause, and move between sections when you need to. Adjust text size, line spacing, cue width, and mirrored reading in Settings. RECORD IN ONE PLACE Switch between Prompt Only, Audio, and Video on the reading screen. Preview the camera behind your script, record a take, then play or share it from the recording library. Captions can be exported as separate files instead of being burned into the video. KEEP SCRIPTS ORGANIZED Create, edit, search, and arrange scripts in folders. Import text or JSON, add cue points, and keep your reading progress. An optional local computer display lets you show the script on a second screen over the same Wi-Fi network. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Scripts, progress, settings, and recordings stay on your device unless you choose to share or export them. Voice Follow requests microphone and speech-recognition access; Video requests camera access. Manual and paced modes remain available without speech recognition. PrompterOne helps you stay on cue and sound like yourself.
