About

On Cue Teleprompter

Read full description

On Cue is a teleprompter that follows your voice — in your language. Speak, and the script scrolls with you. Stop, and it waits. No pedal, no second person at the controls, no fixed speed to chase. Speak in English, Português, Español, Italiano, Français, Deutsch, Polski, Українська — or any other language your iPhone can recognise. On Cue reads the language of your script and listens in it. Right-to-left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew are laid out right to left. • Scrolls with your voice, not a timer • Pause, paraphrase or skip a line — it keeps your place • Records you through the front camera while you read • Buy once. No subscription, no account FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE Speech recognition matches what you say against your script and keeps the line you are on at the reading line. It never runs ahead of you and never scrolls on its own: stop talking and the script waits, as long as you like. Go off-script for a moment and it finds you again when you come back. In English, say "scroll up" or "scroll down" to step a line without touching your phone. ANY LANGUAGE YOUR IPHONE KNOWS Open a Portuguese script and On Cue listens in Portuguese; open a German one and it listens in German. You can also pick the language yourself and it stays picked. The app's own menus are in English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German. RECORDS AS YOU READ Tap Record and On Cue starts listening and filming together, in one tap. Front-camera video with the script over the picture, so your eyes stay near the lens, saved straight to your Photos library. Choose HD or 4K and the frame rate your iPhone supports. BUILT TO BE READ FROM Adjustable text size, margins and alignment, a reading line you can drag to sit near the lens, and per-word contrast so the script stays readable over a bright background. Mirror mode flips the script for teleprompter rigs with a sheet of glass. KNOWS HOW LONG IT RUNS Word count and estimated run time as you write, then elapsed time, time left and your actual pace while you speak. WRITE OR OPEN A SCRIPT Type in a full-screen editor, share text to On Cue from Notes, Mail or any other app, or open a file from Files or iCloud Drive (.txt, .md, .rtf) — edits save back to it automatically. IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both. On iPad the larger screen holds more of the script, which suits a lectern or a desk. ON YOUR IPHONE, OFFLINE On Cue listens with Apple's newest on-device speech recognition in about 45 languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (iOS 26 or later): fast, and it works without an internet connection. Pick your language and On Cue downloads what it needs. Other languages work through Apple's server-based speech recognition, the same service iOS uses for Dictation, and the language list shows which is which. NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO ACCOUNT Buy it once. Your scripts and your recordings never leave the device. Made for videos, reels, presentations, podcasts, interviews, lectures and self-tapes.
