Telepromptme: never fluff your lines again. Telepromptme scrolls your script while you read, so you deliver every line looking straight down the lens. Record while you read for the illusion of perfect eye contact and a memorised script. Whether you are a casual creator, a professional on a teleprompter rig, or anything in between, Telepromptme scales to meet you. START ON LITE, UPGRADE WHEN YOU WANT Telepromptme opens on Lite, with every feature unlocked so you can try the whole app before you buy anything. Lite is capped at 30 seconds per session and keeps one script and one recording. Everything else unlocks inside this app, with nothing else to download: - Pro is a one-off in-app purchase. It lifts the Lite limits: unlimited scripts and recordings, no time cap, and full PDF import. - Pro Plus is a yearly in-app subscription. It adds the production tools below and keeps them for as long as you subscribe. The subscription runs for one year and renews automatically unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before it ends. You can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings. The sections marked Pro Plus are available on Lite and on Pro Plus, but are not part of Pro.
