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. On earlier versions you can still read and record challenges for practice. Have ideas or feedback?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FloatText at 86% against 芦笋录屏's 29%. FloatText also leads on ratings volume (334 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). 芦笋录屏's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FloatText sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 芦笋录屏 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

芦笋录屏 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FloatText has 334 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of FloatText's written reviews are positive against 29% of 芦笋录屏's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FloatText ships an update every 3 weeks, 芦笋录屏 every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
