Teleprompter
Read full descriptionHide full description
Teleprompter is a teleprompter and autocue app for iPhone and iPad. Read your script on screen while you record video, and keep natural eye contact with the camera. Use Teleprompter as a teleprompter app for creating videos for TikTok and YouTube Shorts, property tours, online courses, presentations, and speaking on camera at work. WHY TELEPROMPTER? 1. VIDEO RECORDING Record While You Read: Record video inside the app while your script scrolls. Virtual Backgrounds (Pro): Blur your background or choose Heavy Blur, Black, White, or Green Screen for a cleaner recording setup. Auto Captions (Pro): Show your script as subtitles that stay in sync with the cue line. They are created on your device and burned into the recorded video. 2. ADVANCED TELEPROMPTER CONTROLS Pinch-to-Resize: Adjust font size and text margins directly on the teleprompter stage. Scrolling Modes: Choose manual scrolling or continuous auto-scroll. Tap the stage to quickly start or pause. Timed Scrolling (Pro): Set a target duration and the scroll speed adjusts automatically to finish your script on time. Mirror Mode (free trial, then Pro): Mirror your script for beam-splitter teleprompter glass, professional rigs, and studio setups. External Display Output (Pro): Display your teleprompter on an external monitor, TV, or studio setup using a wired HDMI adapter or AirPlay screen mirroring. 3. HANDS-FREE REMOTE CONTROL Keyboards, Clickers and Pedals: Use Bluetooth and USB keyboards, plus presentation clickers and page-turning pedals (such as AirTurn) that send keyboard keys, to start, stop, and control scrolling. Multi-Device Control (Pro): Connect a second device running Teleprompter over Bluetooth to control your session remotely. 4. ON-DEVICE, OFFLINE SCRIPT MANAGEMENT Organize Your Scripts: Group scripts into projects, archive older content, and recover deleted scripts from Trash for up to 30 days. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Does Teleprompter work offline? Yes. Teleprompter works offline: create, edit and present scripts without an internet connection. Do I need an account?

Which remotes, keyboards and foot pedals work? Teleprompter works with Bluetooth and USB keyboards, and with presentation clickers or page-turning pedals (such as AirTurn) that act as keyboards.
