Aitho is a voice-following teleprompter for presentations. Import the deck you already made, and as you speak, your script scrolls itself and your slides advance on their own. No clicker. No memorizing. No staring at your notes. HOW IT WORKS - Import any deck (PDF or PowerPoint) and your speaker script. - Start talking. Aitho listens and tracks where you are, scrolling your script to match your pace. - Your slides advance automatically as you reach each slide's words. - If speech is not available, it falls back to smooth auto-scroll. PRESENT WITH CONFIDENCE - Hands-free delivery, so you can focus on the room instead of your device. - Word-by-word highlighting keeps your place at a glance. - A private Q&A copilot answers the audience's questions from your own material, visible only to you. YOUR CONTENT STAYS YOURS Your slides and documents power your prompter and your private Q&A. They are never shown to your audience and never sold. The copilot answers from the material you provide; if that material does not cover a question, it may run a web search using your question, not your documents. BUILT FOR REAL ROOMS - Present on a room screen or TV, or screen-share your slides into any video call (Zoom, Teams, Meet). - Works on iPhone and iPad. Whether you are pitching, teaching, briefing, or delivering a keynote, Aitho turns a finished deck into a natural, hands-free presentation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Aitho at none against Striving's shown. Aitho also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Striving's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
