About

Teleprompter

Features
Read full description

Read your script while you look straight into the lens. Teleprompter turns your iPhone into a smooth scrolling autocue and a video camera at the same time, so there is nothing left to memorize. Most prompter apps make you pick one job: read the words, or shoot the video. Here the script scrolls in a panel laid over the live camera preview, and you control how tall that panel is, how transparent it is, and whether it sits at the top, center or bottom of the frame. Your eyes stay on the lens and the words come to you. WHAT YOU GET - Talking-head takes in one pass: the script scrolls over the live preview while you record with the front or back camera - Nothing to memorize: type or paste any script and it rolls at your pace, from 10 to 200 points per second, with Calm, Steady, Brisk and Fast presets - Text you can actually read at arm's length, with live sliders for font size, line spacing and margins plus a center guide line to hold your place - A countdown of up to 10 seconds before the camera rolls, so your opening sentence is never clipped - Mirror mode for glass beam-splitter rigs, so the text reads correctly through the mirror - Finished takes saved straight to your Photos library or shared out of the app in one tap PERFECT FOR - YouTubers and TikTok, Reels and Shorts creators shooting talking-head video - Presenters, teachers and course creators recording lessons, demos and walkthroughs - Anyone rehearsing a wedding speech, a toast, a pitch or interview answers - Founders and small teams filming product updates and announcements without a crew WHY NOT JUST TAPE NOTES NEXT TO THE CAMERA? Because paper notes drag your eyes off the lens, and the audience sees it every time. Notes also do not hold a pace: you speed up, you lose your line, you start the take again. A prompter that scrolls at a set speed right where you are already looking keeps your delivery even and your gaze locked on the lens. PRIVACY Your scripts are stored on your device. There is no account, no sign-up, no ads and no tracking. The camera and microphone are used only while you are recording, and your video goes to your own Photos library or wherever you choose to share it. FULL ACCESS The free plan keeps 3 scripts of up to 600 characters each. Full Access unlocks an unlimited script library, unlimited script length, custom text and background colors for the prompter, and removes the on-screen watermark from the prompter panel. Choose the plan that fits: weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Open the Library tab, paste in the script you have been putting off filming, and shoot the take today.
