Offcue is a free teleprompter app that scrolls your script right over the live camera while you record. Write or paste your words, set your pace, hit record, and deliver every line looking straight into the lens — no memorizing, no glancing away, no awkward retakes. Made for talking-head videos, social clips, vlogs, course lessons, sales pitches, presentations, speeches, self-tape auditions and product demos. Sound natural and stay on message from the first take. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write a new script or paste one you already have. 2. See a live read-time and word-count estimate, so a 60-second video is 60 seconds before you press record. 3. Open the camera, tune the scroll speed and text size, and tap record. 4. Read along as the script scrolls over the camera while you look into the lens. 5. Trim the dead air, then save to Photos or share anywhere. A TELEPROMPTER BUILT FOR FILMING - Script auto-scrolls over the live front or back camera - Adjustable scroll speed to match your natural pace - Adjustable text size, readable at arm's length - Three reading styles: full overlay, a frosted center band, or a focus line - Background dimming for legibility in any light - Left, center or right alignment - Mirror text for beam-splitter prompter rigs - Pause and resume mid-take, like a real camera RECORD, TRIM, POST - Record in HD and Full HD at 30 or 60 fps (4K with Premium) - Video stabilization toggle for smoother handheld footage - Trim the start and end of every take with a live preview - Every take stays linked to its script, so re-shooting is one tap - Library with This Week and Favorites filters - Save to Photos, or share the file to any app PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your scripts and videos stay on your device.

About

Teleprompter

A teleprompter that listens. Most prompters scroll on a timer and leave you chasing lines. This one follows your voice: it moves when you speak, waits when you pause, and picks up again the moment you carry on. Your eyes stay on the lens, which is the whole point of reading to camera. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT The script keeps pace with you Speech recognition runs on your device and tracks where you are in the text, word by word. Slow down for emphasis and it slows with you. Lose your place and it waits. Prefer a clock? Timed scrolling is one tap away, with a speed you set. It tells you how the read went Finish a read-through and you get an honest account of it: words a minute, the passages that dragged compared with your own pace, where you hesitated, and every filler word it heard — "um", "you know", the ones you stop noticing. Read again next week and see whether they are falling. Every take is kept Your rehearsal record shows the last take, your practice this week against a goal you set, and a streak once you have two days in a row. Progress you can see is progress you keep making. Say what it is about, and it writes it Tell it the subject, who is listening, and how long you have. On devices with Apple Intelligence the draft is written on the phone itself — nothing is uploaded. Everywhere else, your points are assembled into a draft in the right order. Fourteen templates cover the shapes people actually need: an apology, a product launch, a wedding toast, an interview answer, a video hook. Record while you read Film against the front or back camera with the script over the top, exactly where the lens is. Pause mid-take and carry on — the video is stitched back into one file. Trim the ends without leaving the app, then save to Photos or share. Built for reading aloud Adjust the reading line so the text sits as close to the lens as you like. Resize and move the script box with a pinch. Mirror it for a beam-splitter rig. Set a countdown, keep the screen awake, and watch the elapsed time beside the Dynamic Island where your eyes already are. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. Nothing uploaded. Your scripts, recordings and rehearsal history stay on your device, and speech recognition runs there too. WRITE HOWEVER YOU LIKE Type it, import a PDF, Word file or plain text, paste a web link and keep just the article, or — on iPad — write it out with the Apple Pencil and have it read back as text.
