About

CuePane

Features
Read full description

CuePane turns your script into a full-screen scrolling cue so you can speak to the camera naturally. Every feature is available — nothing is locked. VOICE-FOLLOW SCROLLING Turn on voice follow and CuePane listens while you speak: pause and it waits, skip a line and it catches up, stumble on a word and it stays on track. Speech recognition runs on your device and your voice is never uploaded. Chinese, Japanese and English are supported, or let CuePane detect the language for you. RECORD WHILE READING Shoot with the front camera while your script scrolls right under the lens, keeping your eyes close to the camera. The cue text floats above the preview and is never recorded into the video — no burned-in text, no watermark. Finished takes go straight to your photo library. FLOATING CUE WINDOW Put your script into a picture-in-picture window that floats above your camera, streaming or meeting app and keeps scrolling. BUILT FOR READING ALOUD Font size 24–96pt, speed 0.5–3x, eight text colors, line spacing, focus line, countdown, horizontal mirror for beam-splitter rigs. Tap to pause, drag to seek, pinch to resize. Settings can be global defaults or apply to a single script. SCRIPTS DONE RIGHT Create, edit, duplicate and import .txt files; everything autosaves; estimated speaking time is calculated as you write. There is no limit on how many scripts you keep, or on how long you record or use voice follow. ADS AND PRIVACY Every feature of CuePane works offline. The only thing that needs a connection is a single banner ad at the bottom of the screen. If you would rather not see it, there is a one-time Remove Ads purchase — it removes the banner and nothing else, because every feature is already open to you. CuePane has no account and no server. It does not track you and never asks for ad tracking permission. Your scripts, recordings and videos stay on this iPhone.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eBarcode at none against CuePane's 1. eBarcode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
