Autoprompt Lite: the teleprompter that listens. Autoprompt listens as you talk and scrolls to the next word automatically, so you read at your own pace. Record yourself while reading for the illusion of great eye contact and script memory. WHAT LITE GIVES YOU Every tool is unlocked, including the Studio video editor, and there is nothing to buy inside the app. Three limits keep it to short work: - One script and one recording at a time - 60 seconds per session, whether you are prompting or recording - PDF import brings in the first page Autoprompt Pro is a separate paid download with no session cap and an unlimited library. SMOOTH SCRIPT SCROLLING - AI speech recognition listens and scrolls as you speak - Runs entirely on your device, with no internet needed - Pause, breathe or ad-lib, and the script waits for you - Skip a word or two and it keeps up, because it looks ahead - It never jumps backwards on its own. Tap a word to continue from there - Pick the language you will speak; the on-device model downloads itself - Tune how far ahead it looks and how exactly a word must match - Or set it aside and use Speed, Timer or Manual paging instead WRITTEN FOR READING ALOUD - Speaker Names: tag a name in its own colours, ignored by the recognition and kept out of subtitles - Notes: drop in a stage direction such as "cut to camera 2", shown only to you - Move without speaking: space to start and pause, arrows to step a word or line SCRIPT QUEUE - Queue scripts to play one after another, and loop them RECORD VIDEO - Record yourself while you read, in up to 4K - Export portrait or landscape, with presets for where you post LIVE VIDEO EFFECTS - Replace your background with a photo, video, blur or colour - Enhance with filters STUDIO VIDEO EDITOR - Merge, trim and split clips, and change video speed - Add stickers and captions anywhere on screen and on the timeline - Replace the background with a photo, video, blur or colour, at any point in the video - Place yourself anywhere on the background, and move at any point - Add music, adjust brightness, contrast and colour - Stabilise a handheld or knocked shot, and enhance with filters AUTOMATIC SUBTITLING - Burn your script into the recording as perfectly timed subtitles REMOTE CONTROL - Apple Watch app: play, pause, jump to either end, and set the speed with the Digital Crown - Control from another Autoprompt app on iPhone, iPad or Mac - Works with most hardware remotes and clickers FLOATING WINDOW - Float the scrolling script above other apps MIRROR TEXT - Flip the text for a hardware teleprompter rig INTELLIGENT SCRIPT IMPORT - Import DOC, PAGES, TXT, RTF, PDF - PDF filters pull text out even when the page is an image - Edit scripts directly in the app - AI Assistant to improve your scripts* SCRIPT SYNC - Your scripts follow you across your devices HIGHLY CUSTOMISABLE - Set margins and pointer position - Countdown timer and stopwatch - Dyslexia mode for easier reading CROSS-PLATFORM - Autoprompt is on iPhone, iPad and Mac PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Speech recognition runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded - No account to set up - No internet needed, unless you turn on script sync *AI capabilities only available on devices with Apple Intelligence Privacy Policy: https://www.telepromptme.com/autoprompt/autopromptpp Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Supported languages as of iOS27: ar, bn, ca, cs, da, de, el, en, es, fi, fr, gu, he, hi, hr, hu, id, it, ja, kn, ko, ks, mai, ml, mr, ms, nb, ne, nl, or, pa, pl, pt, ro, ru, sk, sv, ta, te, th, tr, uk, ur, vi, yue, zh
