Your camera. Reimagined as ASCII art. ASCII Camcorder transforms your live camera feed into real-time text art; and records it. Point it at anything: the result is something no filter can produce. THE HEADLINE FEATURES COLOUR MODE Not monochrome. Every character is rendered in the true colour sampled from that exact spot in the frame. The result looks like nothing else on the App Store. LIVE ASCII VIDEO Hit record. Walk around. Every frame of footage is rendered in ASCII as you shoot; motion, depth, light; all translated into characters. Export as a standard video file and share it anywhere. INSTANT PHOTO CAPTURE Freeze any moment as an ASCII image. Print it. Frame it. It's art that also happens to be text. GPU-ACCELERATED RENDERING Built on Metal. The conversion is smooth and immediate; no lag, no dropped frames; even with the largest character sets and finest zoom levels. CHARACTER SETS Nine distinct sets give you complete creative control: • Standard: the classic, clean ASCII look • Dense: maximum detail, 70+ characters from space to @ • Simple: stripped back, graphic, bold • Blocks: Unicode block elements for a pixelated edge • Braille: 256-dot-pattern characters, uniquely textured output • International: a world first: Greek, Hebrew, Katakana, and Ukrainian Cyrillic characters interleaved and sorted by visual density, so every brightness level draws from all four writing systems simultaneously. The result is genuinely unlike any other ASCII art. • Katakana: full halfwidth katakana, sorted by ink density • Hebrew: 28 characters, perfectly density-ranked • Greek: classical alphabet, sorted for accurate brightness mapping • Ukrainian: Cyrillic alphabet, density-ranked for accurate tone reproduction COLOUR THEMES Classic green terminal glow. Amber CRT warmth. Cool electric blue. Clean white. Custom or full per-character colour mode. Colour is a creative choice, not an afterthought. FULL CREATIVE CONTROL • Adjust font size, zoom, contrast, and brightness live; changes are instant • Switch character sets and colour on the fly while recording • Front and rear camera with real-time switching SHARE EVERYWHERE • Export ASCII videos as standard .mov files (H.264, audio included) • Share ASCII photos to any app (.JPG or .PNG) • Export as RTF; paste formatted ASCII art into any document, email, or notes app with your chosen font and colour preserved • Export as TXT; paste into any app that accepts text • Print directly from the app; makes remarkable wall art CLEAN AND PRIVATE No ads.

Requires iOS 15 or later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Video Teleprompter at 60% against ASCII Camera's 0%. Video Teleprompter also leads on ratings volume (257 vs 1). ASCII Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ASCII Camera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Teleprompter has 257 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Video Teleprompter's written reviews are positive against 0% of ASCII Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
