About

TalkProp

TalkProp is a focused teleprompter for iPhone and iPad. Drop in your script, set a comfortable reading rate, and roll. Tap Play to start scrolling at your chosen speed, or drag anywhere on the rolling text to scrub manually — push the script up to fast-forward, pull it down to rewind. Lift off and TalkProp resumes at your set rate. It feels like a jog wheel under your finger. WHAT IT DOES • Forward-only speed slider: 15–180 points per second scrolling vertically, up to 540 in the ticker. • Drag-to-scrub on the rolling page. Touch the script directly — no separate scrub control. • Vertical scroll or horizontal one-line ticker. One tap flips between them; horizontal mode auto-fits one line. • Mirror mode for beam-splitter teleprompter glass: flip the rolling text horizontally, vertically, or both. • Optional 3-, 5-, or 10-second countdown before the prompter starts rolling, so you can find your first line. • Follow My Voice: tap the microphone and the script scrolls along as you speak, holding still while you pause. Speech is recognized on your iPhone or iPad; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. • Real-time text resizing — the rolling text updates live as you drag the size slider. • Edit and run in the same place. Edit mode shows a plain text editor; Run mode renders on a black background with a reading-line guide and edge fades. • Import a script from Files, iCloud Drive, or any document provider. Your last-edited text is remembered between sessions. • Universal — one app, layouts optimized for both iPhone and iPad. iPad on a stand at arm's length is a particularly natural teleprompter. ACCESSIBILITY • Full VoiceOver and Voice Control: every button announces its action, sliders speak their current value with units ("Scroll speed, 60 points per second"). • Sufficient contrast, no color-only state, respects Reduce Motion. Built for podcasters, video creators, presenters, and anyone who needs to read prepared remarks naturally on camera. Single screen, no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions.
