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.
