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. This is especially useful when your phone is mounted on a tripod or someone else is helping you record.

TeleSmart Prompter

Features

Record talking-head videos with fewer retakes. TeleSmart is a teleprompter camera for creators who film Reels, Shorts, TikToks, tutorials and product videos on a phone. Your script scrolls over the live camera preview, close to the lens, so you can read naturally while recording. No lines to memorise and no account to set up: paste a script or import it from Google Docs, and start filming. Built for the moments that slow creators down: forgetting a line, looking away from the camera, guessing video length, losing the useful take, or framing a vertical video that later gets covered by captions and buttons. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Read while recording — prompter text stays on screen while the camera records the take. The text never appears in your video. • Set pace by WPM — choose your speaking speed and see estimated runtime before recording. • Adjust the read — change speed, text size, text width, mirror mode and eye-line while you work. • Pause and restart — rehearse without recording, pause the script, restart the take, or begin with a countdown. • Frame for the platform — use 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9 or a custom ratio, then save the take in that format. • Change the background (Pro) — blur it or use a virtual background, applied when the take is saved. • Bring your script in — paste it, or import a Google Docs or Drive text file from its share link. • Keep takes organized — recordings stay grouped with their script, with one-tap playback, sharing and saving. • Learn the setup — Academy lessons cover mic distance, light, eye line, framing, delivery and room sound. • Vote on what comes next — the Coming Soon page lets you tell us which creator workflow to build first. MADE FOR • Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok videos • Talking-head clips and tutorials • Product demos and sales videos • Course, podcast and community updates • Creator scripts, cue cards and autocue-style reading PRIVACY AND CONTROL Your scripts and takes stay on your device. Camera and microphone are used only to record the videos you choose. Usage stats are optional and anonymous; the app asks before sending them, and you can change this in Settings. TeleSmart is not affiliated with Google, Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. These names are used only to describe the video formats creators publish to and where scripts can be imported from. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS TeleSmart Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
