Float your script anywhere — now with 4K, Voice-Follow, and full rotation. FloatText is a teleprompter that floats your script over any app, follows your voice as you speak, and records sharp video. Version 4.0 adds Script Challenge: read a script aloud, get scored, and level up. TELEPROMPTER & RECORDING • Floating Prompter — keep your script on screen over other apps with picture in picture, and place it where you want. • Voice Follow — the script scrolls as you speak. Choose Classic or Adaptive read-along. • Auto Scroll — set your speed; guide-line and highlight modes for easier reading. • Portrait & Landscape — the prompter rotates with you. • Full-Screen Prompter — focus on your script with nothing else on screen. • Style It Your Way — font size, colours, alignment, line spacing, background opacity and a countdown. • 4K Recording — with the script right under the camera while you record. • Scripts & Recordings — save, reuse and organise your scripts and videos in the app. WHO IT’S FOR • YouTube creators and vloggers • TikTok and short-video creators • Streamers and presenters • Teachers and online course creators • Mobile journalists and reporters • Marketers and content teams • Anyone practising clear, confident speaking Challenge scoring uses on-device speech recognition and requires iOS 26 or later.
