Teleprompter CueFlow

Read full description

The teleprompter that follows your voice. Pay once, works offline, no account. CueFlow keeps your script at the reading line no matter how fast, slow, or off-script you go. It listens on your device as you speak and scrolls to match you, so you can look into the lens and just talk instead of racing a fixed-speed crawl. And the best part: voice-follow is free. VOICE-FOLLOW SCROLL, FREE Most teleprompters put voice-follow behind a $19.99-a-month subscription. CueFlow doesn't. Read at your own pace, pause, ad-lib, start a line over. The script stays with you. Prefer a steady crawl? Fixed-speed scrolling is always one tap away. RECORD IN ONE TAKE Film with the front or rear camera while your script scrolls over the lens. No juggling two apps. Save straight to your Photos. RUNS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE CueFlow listens on-device using Apple's Speech framework, so your voice never leaves your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no Wi-Fi required. It works in airplane mode, so the recognizer never dies on bad venue Wi-Fi mid-sermon or mid-listing. BUILT FOR HOW YOU RECORD Pick what you're filming and CueFlow sets itself up for you: - Creator: vertical framing guides for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts - Realtor: rear-camera listing walkthroughs with the script on screen - Pastor: large, calm type with generous margins and a slow ramp - Self-tape: a slate for your name, role, and agency before the take PAY ONCE. NOT EVERY MONTH. Others charge $19.99 every month. CueFlow Pro is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and keep it. Free already includes voice-follow, fixed-speed scroll, 3-minute takes, and all persona modes. CueFlow Pro (Lifetime) unlocks: - Unlimited script library - Unlimited recording length - No watermark - Camera mirroring for beam-splitter teleprompter rigs - 4K recording - Import scripts from .docx and .pdf - All future updates PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No tracking. No analytics. Your scripts and settings live on your device. The only place your recordings go is your own Photos library. Great for creators, realtors, pastors, sales reps, teachers, actors filming self-tapes, and anyone who wants to sound natural on camera.
