Read full description

A teleprompter that reads at your pace, not the other way around. Start reading and the script follows your voice — pause, restart, or change speed, and it stays with you. When tracking drifts, drag the text to the line you're on and carry on; recording picks up from there. The speech recognition runs entirely on your iPhone. No audio and no transcript is uploaded, there is no account to create, and the App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected. That is architecture, not a setting you have to find. Recognition is biased toward your script. A teleprompter already knows what you are about to say, which most speech interfaces don't — and it shows on names, places and technical words. RECORD WHILE YOU READ Film with the prompter over the camera feed, so your eyes stay on the lens. Voice tracking works while recording, not only while rehearsing. A countdown gives you a beat before it starts. BUILT FOR A REAL SETUP A true-black reading surface, designed so it doesn't reflect back into a beam splitter. Mirror the text horizontally, vertically, or both for a rig. Set your own size, speed and reading position, and the app remembers them per script. WHAT YOU GET FREE Three scripts, and recordings that export with a watermark. Everything you write stays yours whether you subscribe or not — nothing is deleted when the trial ends. LUXECAST PRO • Unlimited scripts • Exports without the watermark — including everything you have ALREADY recorded, because takes are stored clean and the mark is added at export • Your scripts on every device you sign in to $14.99/month or $119.99/year. Subscribe before 31 December 2027 and that price holds for as long as the subscription stays active. Video files stay on the device that recorded them. Scripts sync; footage is too large to move through iCloud, and we would rather say so than let you discover it. Luxecast Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. • Monthly — $14.99 per month • Annual — $119.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

About

TeleSmart Prompter

Features
Read full description

Record talking-head videos with fewer retakes. TeleSmart is a teleprompter camera for creators who film Reels, Shorts, TikToks, tutorials and product videos on a phone. Your script scrolls over the live camera preview, close to the lens, so you can read naturally while recording. No lines to memorise and no account to set up: paste a script or import it from Google Docs, and start filming. Built for the moments that slow creators down: forgetting a line, looking away from the camera, guessing video length, losing the useful take, or framing a vertical video that later gets covered by captions and buttons. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Read while recording — prompter text stays on screen while the camera records the take. The text never appears in your video. • Set pace by WPM — choose your speaking speed and see estimated runtime before recording. • Adjust the read — change speed, text size, text width, mirror mode and eye-line while you work. • Pause and restart — rehearse without recording, pause the script, restart the take, or begin with a countdown. • Frame for the platform — use 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9 or a custom ratio, then save the take in that format. • Change the background (Pro) — blur it or use a virtual background, applied when the take is saved. • Bring your script in — paste it, or import a Google Docs or Drive text file from its share link. • Keep takes organized — recordings stay grouped with their script, with one-tap playback, sharing and saving. • Learn the setup — Academy lessons cover mic distance, light, eye line, framing, delivery and room sound. • Vote on what comes next — the Coming Soon page lets you tell us which creator workflow to build first. MADE FOR • Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok videos • Talking-head clips and tutorials • Product demos and sales videos • Course, podcast and community updates • Creator scripts, cue cards and autocue-style reading PRIVACY AND CONTROL Your scripts and takes stay on your device. Camera and microphone are used only to record the videos you choose. Usage stats are optional and anonymous; the app asks before sending them, and you can change this in Settings. TeleSmart is not affiliated with Google, Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. These names are used only to describe the video formats creators publish to and where scripts can be imported from. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS TeleSmart Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
