Look at the camera. Keep your train of thought. Finish your video. Teleprompter brings scripts, word tracking, recording and captions into one workflow for videos, talks, courses and podcasts. YOU SPEAK. YOUR SCRIPT FOLLOWS. Word tracking follows the words you say, so you can set the pace. Choose audio-based scrolling or a fixed speed when you prefer. Adjust the font, reading line and mirroring to suit your setup. CAPTIONS WITH YOUR OWN STYLE Generate captions on your device after recording. Choose from 84 styles, many of them animated, and 3 brand templates. Edit the text, font, colors and position, then export a video copy with burned-in captions. Your original stays intact. A NEW BACKGROUND WITHOUT A STUDIO Cut yourself out in PostFX: the person is detected on your device, or you use a green or blue screen. Place one of 28 included backgrounds, a blur, a color or your own photo behind you, and your captions too if you like. You see a preview while you record; the finished version is rendered afterwards in high quality. Your original stays intact. YOUR OLD TABLET. YOUR NEW PROMPTER. Open the prompter display via QR code in a compatible browser on a second device on the same local network. Give an older tablet a new role beside your camera. FROM SCRIPT TO FINISHED RECORDING Write or import your script. Use on-device AI to improve, shorten, correct, rephrase and translate it. Keep scripts and takes together in projects, then refine your video with color correction and voice enhancement. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Read your script over the camera preview as you record. Choose Simple or Studio view on iPhone, or enjoy more room to work on iPad. Control the iPhone prompter remotely with Apple Watch. AI features require a compatible device and a configured AI option. Apple Intelligence requires a supported system; downloadable models need sufficient storage. Text processing takes place on your device. START FOR FREE Reading scripts, fixed-speed scrolling, font size, the reading line and countdown are free. Full unlocks features including word tracking, recording, captions, AI and device connections. Try Full once in a free in-app session lasting up to 30 minutes.

Snap Remote

Read full description

Snap Remote turns your iPhone into a wireless remote for cameras that speak the classic Camera Remote API over Wi-Fi. Live view, shutter release, video recording, every setting the camera actually allows, and an interval mode built for the real timing of a camera. No cable, no account, no cloud. SEE WHAT THE CAMERA SEES The live image comes straight from the camera, including the focus and face frames it reports. Fire from the screen or with the volume buttons, which is what you want when the phone is clamped to a tripod leg. After each shot the preview lands in the corner and one tap saves it to your photo library. Video recording works the same way. ONLY THE CONTROLS THAT REALLY EXIST Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, focus mode: the list is built from what the camera permits at that moment. With the mode dial on Intelligent Auto the exposure values are locked, and the app shows them anyway, with a lock icon and a note on what to change. That is more honest than making them disappear. WHAT YOUR CAMERA CAN DO, IN BLACK AND WHITE The range of the Camera Remote API does not depend on the camera model but on the version of the Smart Remote Control app installed on the camera. On the factory version the exposure values are read-only; with the old PlayMemories upgrade they are fully controllable, and that store closed in 2021. So Snap Remote hard-codes no value lists at all. On connect it asks the camera what it implements and builds the interface from the answer. A parameter your camera reports but cannot set appears visible and locked; one it does not know at all does not appear. The Camera Info tab shows you the result: version, API reach and every single function your camera reported. A TIME-LAPSE THAT LISTENS TO THE CAMERA Depending on the subject, a shutter release takes one to three seconds until autofocus, exposure and preview are through. A rigid timer stacks up requests in that window until the camera gives up. Snap Remote waits for the answer instead, subtracts the time spent from the interval and sleeps only the remainder. If a frame takes longer than the interval, the sequence runs as fast as the camera can and the app tells you so. For a time-lapse through the blue hour that is the difference between a sequence and an error message. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS No internet needed, and none available: the camera runs its own Wi-Fi and is the router inside it, so iOS will report "No Internet" while you are connected. That is correct. The app keeps the screen awake during intervals and video instead of faking a background mode that iOS would not honour. Intervals below two seconds get unreliable, which is a limit of the camera API, not of the app. There is no access to the memory card: what gets transferred is the preview image the camera offers after each shot, at full JPEG resolution on an upgraded camera. RAW stays on the card. And the camera allows exactly one live view connection, so a second app streaming from it will cut one of you off. COMPATIBLE CAMERAS Any model with the classic Camera Remote API, meaning the ones that run the Smart Remote Control app on the camera. Among others: a7, a7 II, a7R, a7R II, a7S, a7S II, a5000, a5100, a6000, a6300, a6500; RX100 II to RX100 V, the RX10 series, RX0; HX90, WX500; and the FDR-X1000V, FDR-X3000, HDR-AS50 and HDR-AS300 action cameras. Not compatible: a7 III and newer, a9, a1, a7C and the ZV series. Those speak the newer Camera Remote SDK over USB and other protocols, not the Wi-Fi interface Snap Remote is built on. Please check your model against the list above before buying into the idea. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Snap Remote talks to your camera and to nothing else. There is no account, no server and no analytics.
