Stop memorizing every line. TakeKit is a teleprompter camera for creators, coaches, and founders. Write your script, hit record, and read from an on-screen guide that only you can see — your exported video is always clean. READ WHILE YOU RECORD • The guide scrolls automatically as you speak (speech recognition, fully on-device) • Or use fixed-speed scrolling with instant speed control • The current line stays highlighted mid-screen so you never get lost • Eye-contact mode docks the text next to the front lens — you appear to look straight at the camera BUILT FOR TAKES • Record as many takes as you need, grouped by script • Resume from where you stopped — no re-reading from the top • Mark your best take with a star, rename it, compare attempts • Live mic meter so you never discover bad audio too late • Dual camera: record front and back at the same time (supported devices) EXPORT CLEAN • Crop to 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, or 4:5 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, YouTube • Trim, then export in up to 1080p — the guide text is never in the video • Pro: burn in auto-generated captions, timed word by word • Pro: auto-cut silences and dead air YOURS, PRIVATELY • No account, no login — your scripts and takes sync privately through your own iCloud • Speech recognition runs on your iPhone; nothing is sent anywhere • Share text from any app straight into TakeKit as a new script PAY ONCE, OWN IT TakeKit is free for up to 5 scripts and 5 recordings with a small watermark. TakeKit Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no renewal, ever. It unlocks unlimited scripts and takes, speech-paced auto-scroll, captions, silence cutting, and watermark-free export. Write it once. Say it like you mean it.
