SpeakSync is a voice-tracking teleprompter for iPhone and iPad. Just start speaking and your script scrolls automatically, following your natural pace in real time. YOUR VOICE LEADS. SPEAKSYNC FOLLOWS. Unlike traditional teleprompters that scroll at a fixed speed, SpeakSync listens to your voice and matches your position in the script. Pause to collect your thoughts and the prompter waits. Speed up and it keeps pace. Go off-script and it picks up where you left off. IMPORT ANYTHING Bring in scripts from Word documents, PDFs, rich text files, plain text, web pages, and more. Bold, italic, and underline formatting is preserved. Just tap the + button and you're ready to go. RICH TEXT EDITOR Write and format your scripts directly in the app. Pinch to zoom, and use the built-in formatting tools for bold, italic, and underline. Auto-save means you never lose your work. REHEARSAL MODE Practice from any point in your script with a built-in session timer. Jump straight from the editor into rehearsal to polish your delivery before the real thing. BUILT FOR SPEAKERS Voice-tracked auto-scrolling with smooth 60fps animation Works in 30+ languages Per-script font size and typeface Invert colours, mirror display, and rotate 180° for beam-splitter setups Manual scroll with iOS-style momentum when you need it Long-press to repoint voice tracking anywhere in your script Pinch to resize text on the fly HANDS-FREE ACCESSIBILITY The Prompter is fully voice-controlled — no touch interaction required while presenting. SpeakSync scrolls by listening, making it accessible to users with motor impairments or anyone who simply can't touch the screen while speaking. Set up your script, start voice tracking, and your hands are free. PRIVACY FIRST All speech recognition happens entirely on your device. Your voice is never sent to any server. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. ICLOUD SYNC Optionally sync your scripts across all your devices with iCloud. Off by default — you choose.
