Luxecast
Read full descriptionHide 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.

ReadCam Prompter is a teleprompter and camera in one. Paste your script, press the red button and read while you look into the lens. HOW IT WORKS • One red button: a 3-2-1 countdown, then the text starts scrolling and the video starts recording. • Set the speed in words per minute with the plus and minus buttons. • Or turn on Follow my voice and the text moves as you speak. It never jumps backward if you stumble. • Drag the text with a finger at any time, also while recording. • Pinch to change the text size. PLACE THE TEXT WHERE YOU NEED IT • Choose the text area on screen: the top half by default, or any part you like, so your eyes stay close to the camera. • Edit the script right on the screen, no extra windows. FOR THE VIDEO • Front and back camera. • Flash for the back camera. • Colour filters: swipe sideways outside the text to switch. The filter is saved into the video. • Pause and resume while recording, and switch cameras mid-take. • Watch the result right after recording, trim it, change the filter, then save it at 720p, 1080p or maximum quality, or delete it. CAPTIONS AND MUSIC • Turn on captions: your script appears as subtitles in the saved video, timed to what you say. Pick a font, colour and a black or white backing. • Add background music from the built-in tracks or your own file, and set its volume. • Clean face filter smooths skin in the saved video. YOUR LANGUAGE • The app is in English, Russian and Spanish. • Follow my voice works in the languages your phone's speech recognition supports. By default the language is picked from your text, and you can choose it yourself. PRIVACY • Your script and videos stay on your phone. There is no account and no sign-up. • Voice following uses the speech recognition built into your phone. Made for creators, teachers, presenters, and anyone who films themselves and wants to look at the camera, not at their notes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadCam Prompter at none against Luxecast's 2. ReadCam Prompter also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
