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. Our prompter apps can also be useful as a practice tool or as a reference guide for even the most novice speaker, keeping you on-message during live speaking engagements. PromptSmart+ is cloud-enabled (optional) and you can also record HD videos inside the app while presenting. Use Selfie Mode to position the text next to or beneath the front-facing camera so you don't look like you're reading. VoiceTrack gives you unparalleled control with speech-recognition scrolling -- but you can also scroll the text with a pre-set speed, or a remote control room. All of the features mentioned above are included in a PromptSmart+ subscription which you can activate on a monthly or yearly basis.

Choose what to hide in photos and PDFs before sharing. PrivacyMask processes photos, screenshots, scanned documents, and PDFs on your iPhone or iPad. Selected content is not uploaded to a server for processing. AUTOMATIC SCANS, MANUAL CONTROL • Face, QR code, and barcode detection • Email, phone, and link patterns • Supported IBAN and payment-card formats Detection varies by language, document format, and image quality. Identity-number and license-plate detection does not cover every country. Manually hide names, addresses, and anything the scan misses. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Select findings individually or by category. Add rectangle or freehand masks, move and resize them, and undo edits. Switch between original and redacted previews. PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS Start from Photos, Files, or the camera. Review multi-page PDFs and batches of up to 20 images. Editable projects remain on your device. EXPORT CHECKS Use secure blackout for sensitive text: selected pixels are replaced in the new copy. Blur and pixelation are not substitutes for secure blackout. PDF output is rebuilt as image-based pages; your original is not overwritten automatically. The created file is reopened to check readability and specific metadata fields. PDF checks also cover page count and the absence of selectable source text. These checks do not rescan masked areas with OCR or guarantee that all private information is hidden. Review the result before sharing. FREE AND PRO Three automatic scans are free each day. Manual masking stays free. A one-time PrivacyMask Pro purchase only removes the daily automatic-scan limit. The interface is available in 10 languages. PrivacyMask does not guarantee legal compliance.
