Teleprompter helps content creators, presenters, and educators read scripts naturally without memorizing every line. It can be used for social media videos, online courses, presentations, video interviews, and speeches. The app offers three modes for these different uses: video recording, a standalone teleprompter, and audio recording. ● VIDEO RECORDING Video recording mode displays the script on screen while the camera records. The front camera is useful for speaking directly to an audience, while the rear camera captures everyday moments with talking points still in view. This mode works well for TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, YouTube videos, vlogs, tutorials, and online courses. ● TELEPROMPTER MODE Teleprompter mode displays scrolling text without recording video or audio. It supports presentations, speeches, and rehearsals, with either a full script or a few notes on screen. The adjustable scrolling speed makes it suitable for both practice sessions and live presentations. ● AUDIO RECORDING Audio recording mode keeps scripts or lyrics on screen while recording voiceovers, vocals, and podcast segments. Everything stays in one app, so there’s no need to switch between notes and a separate audio recorder. ● CUSTOMIZATION Scrolling speed, text size, colors, and layout can be adjusted for a comfortable reading experience. Voice-controlled scrolling allows the text to follow the speaker’s voice. Portrait and landscape support provides flexibility for different recording setups. ● FEATURES • Video recording with an on-screen script • Standalone teleprompter mode • Audio recording for voiceovers and vocals • Front and rear camera support • Voice-controlled scrolling • Adjustable scrolling speed • Customizable text size, colors, and layout • Portrait and landscape support

Read your script while looking straight into the lens. Cue puts your words right at the camera, so you talk to your audience - not down at your notes. Built for creators who film themselves: UGC, Founders, TikTok, Reels, Shorts, talking-head videos, and client work. RECORD WITH REAL EYE CONTACT Your script scrolls in a reading window pinned just under the front camera, so your eyes stay on the lens. No teleprompter rig, no second person, no reading-off-to-the-side look. IT FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE Cue listens as you speak and scrolls to keep pace. Pause to breathe or ad-lib, and it waits for you, then picks right back up. Prefer manual? Use auto-scroll, tap, or your volume button. NEVER START OVER AGAIN Split your script into sections and shoot each one as many times as you want. Keep the best take of every section and Cue merges them into one clean video. Flub a line and you redo that line, not the whole thing. WRITE YOUR SCRIPT IN THE APP Not sure what to say? Cue Write turns a quick idea or brand brief into a ready-to-read script - hook, body, and call to action - or spins up five scroll-stopping hooks to choose from. It runs on-device. FINISH WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Tighten auto-removes the long pauses and dead air from a take, so your video stays snappy. Trim the top and tail, then add auto-captions burned right into your video - choose the size, position, font, and color. Save to your camera roll or share anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Your camera, your voice, and your scripts never leave your phone. Where creators go to work.
