About

Clean Prompter

Features
Read full description

Simply the best teleprompter. The cleanest and easiest to use. IN-APP PURCHASE REQUIRED FOR FULL ACCESS The features described below require an in-app purchase. You can start with a 3-day free trial of the yearly plan or choose lifetime access with a one-time purchase. Exact pricing and billing details are listed under “Choose Your Access.” Clean Prompter puts your script where your eyes should be — right by the lens — so you look at the camera instead of down at your notes. FLOAT IT OVER YOUR CAMERA Send the prompter into a floating window that stays on top of the Camera app. Pinch it to the size you want, drag it next to the lens, and double-tap to run your script from the top after a countdown. OR RECORD IN THE APP The built-in camera mode puts a see-through prompter panel over a live preview, with every control close at hand: back to the beginning, rewind, play, pause, fast forward, and text size. Drag the panel anywhere, pinch to resize, and record straight to your photo library. CINEMATIC BACKGROUND BLUR On supported iPhones, record with Apple's Cinematic Video — a real depth-of-field effect with a simulated aperture you set yourself, from f/2 for a soft background to f/16 for everything sharp. BUILT FOR TAKES • Keeps your last ten scripts, newest first • Paste a script straight from the clipboard • Adjust speed, font size, and opacity to suit your delivery • Choose a countdown from 1 to 10 seconds • Choose four window shapes, from a wide strip to a tall column Nothing you write or record leaves your iPhone. CHOOSE YOUR ACCESS Start a 3-day free trial of the yearly plan. Confirm with Apple today; after the trial, Apple charges US$24.99 per year (or your local price) and renews yearly unless canceled. Or buy lifetime access once for US$34.99 (or your local price), with no renewal. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
