Read naturally and stay focused on the camera. Floating Teleprompter keeps your script visible while you record videos, livestream, teach, or present. Display your script in a resizable floating window over supported camera and recording apps, so you can focus on your message instead of memorizing every line. VOICE FOLLOW Traditional teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed. Voice Follow recognizes your reading position and moves the script as you speak. Slow down, speed up, or pause naturally. The script follows your pace instead of making you follow it. Voice Follow works in both the in-app teleprompter and the floating window. FLOAT OVER RECORDING APPS Keep your script visible while using supported camera, social video, livestreaming, and recording apps. Choose a recording app in advance, and Floating Teleprompter can open it automatically when the floating prompt is ready. No need to switch apps manually before every take. REMOTE CONTROL Control the teleprompter without touching your recording device. Use an Apple Watch, another phone, a tablet, or a computer to control scrolling, reset the script, and move forward or backward.
