You have a speech to deliver, a presentation to give, a text to read aloud. Yet you spend more time scrolling than looking at your audience. VoxPresenter solves this at the source. The app listens to your voice in real time and automatically advances to the right paragraph, with no interaction required. Put down your iPhone, start speaking, and the prompter follows. All speech processing happens directly on your device. Your words stay private. No internet connection is needed. WHY VOXPRESENTER Most presenters lose their natural delivery because they are watching a screen. VoxPresenter removes that constraint: you read at your own pace, the app adapts. Not the other way around. WHAT THE APP DOES The app detects the words you speak and matches them against the loaded text. When you reach the end of a paragraph, it moves automatically to the next one. If you hesitate, rephrase, or skip a passage, it finds your place again without any intervention. FOR MAC TOO The macOS companion app, VoxPresenterRemote, turns your iPhone into a wireless remote for your presentations. Each paragraph change on the iPhone advances the next slide on your Mac (Keynote, PowerPoint, Canva). WHO IT IS FOR Speakers and conference presenters who want constant eye contact with their audience. Teachers and trainers who present with course material. Journalists and on-air hosts who read from a script. Anyone who presents regularly and wants to improve. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
