CueSync is a teleprompter app for iPhone and iPad that scrolls your script as you speak and records you on video. When you stop, a built-in editor adds captions and trims the take, and every take stays in one library you can come back to. Made for YouTube videos, TikTok, Reels and Shorts, presentations, online lessons, sales demos, speeches, interviews and self-tapes. SPEECH SYNC: A TELEPROMPTER THAT FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE Just talk. CueSync highlights each word as you say it, so the text moves at your pace. Speed up, slow down, pause, repeat a line or skip a paragraph, and it keeps up. Works in 100+ languages, detected from your script automatically. Speech is processed on your device. RECORD WHILE YOU READ Read over a fullscreen camera, or put the camera in a small window you can drag and pinch to any size. Use the front or back camera and switch even mid-take. Over the fullscreen camera, the text adapts its color to stay readable. Pick your microphone, AirPods or external, right in the prompter. A countdown starts the take, and auto-stop ends it with your last line. NEW IN 2.0: TAKES Every recording lands on the Takes tab, grouped by script. Search by what you said, captions included. Reopen any take and keep editing: captions and trim are right where you left them, and the original is kept. Finished a take? New Take waits under the last line of your script. If the app closes before you save, the take waits for you under Not saved. VIDEO EDITOR WITH AI CAPTIONS Trim the take and add automatic captions with word-level timing in five styles, including karaoke highlighting. Edit any line, then drag, pinch and rotate captions right on the video. Captions are generated on your device, offline, in the language you speak. Preview at 1x, 1.5x or 2x, then save or share. CLEAN AUDIO One tap removes background noise from your take. Turn it on and off in the editor to hear the difference. FIXED SPEED AT A REAL READING PACE Prefer classic scrolling? 100% is a natural presenter pace in your script's language, the same on every screen and font. See words per minute and the time left. READY FOR TELEPROMPTER RIGS Mirror the text horizontally or vertically for beam-splitter glass. Set the reading line close to the camera for natural eye contact. Choose the font, size, spacing, margins, colors and cue indicator. SCRIPTS Write in the app or import PDF, Word (.docx), RTF and text files. See the word count and reading time before you start. Give folders a color and an emoji, and drag scripts and folders into any order. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up and no ads. Your scripts, speech recognition and captions are processed on your device. Your takes are saved to your own Photos library. Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later.
