Keep your eyes close to the camera and your place in the script. Textream is a teleprompter for iPhone and iPad that can follow the words you say, scroll at a steady pace, or move only while you speak. Paste or write a script, choose Read or Record, and start presenting. THREE WAYS TO STAY ON SCRIPT • Word Tracking follows and highlights the words you say using Apple Speech Recognition. • Classic scrolls at a steady speed without speech recognition. • Voice-Activated scrolls while you speak and pauses when you stop. BETTER EYE CONTACT Keep the active line just below the front camera, or place it in the center of the screen. Textream keeps the last spoken line visible in Word Tracking mode so you can continue naturally. In Classic and Voice-Activated modes, swipe left or right to change speed without interfering with vertical scrolling. If your script appears to use a different language, Textream can suggest a matching Word Tracking language. READ OR RECORD Use a clean fullscreen teleprompter in portrait or landscape. Show the camera behind your script when you want a live preview, or use Record mode to capture front- or back-camera video with microphone audio. The teleprompter stays visible to you but is not added to the saved video. YOUR RECORDINGS Completed videos are saved to Photos. Open Textream’s recordings gallery to play videos made with Textream, trim a recording with the system video editor, select multiple recordings, or delete them from Photos. If a save fails, Textream keeps a local pending copy so you can retry or discard it. MAKE IT COMFORTABLE TO READ Choose the typeface, size, text color, stage-direction color, and camera-overlay opacity. OpenDyslexic is included. Put stage directions in brackets; Textream displays them without treating them as spoken words. A fullscreen editor gives longer scripts more room. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Textream has no account, ads, analytics, or developer-operated cloud service. Scripts and settings stay on your device. Word Tracking uses Apple’s speech-recognition framework; depending on your device, selected language, and service availability, Apple may process speech on-device or send microphone audio to Apple. Textream’s source code is available on GitHub. A separate Textream app is also available for Mac.

WizScript is a teleprompter that runs entirely on your device. Built for short-form voiceover, livestreams, and course recording, it offers three prompting modes to cover every setup you actually shoot with.It also does shadowing: import a video as a reference, read along with it, and record the take on the spot. CAMERA PROMPTER Shoot with your phone's built-in camera while the script scrolls over the live preview. Includes rule-of-thirds and center-line framing guides plus mirrored preview. One tap saves the finished take to your photo library. VIDEO QUALITY Tune capture to your setup: aspect ratio (full frame, 9:16, 3:4, 1:1), resolution (720P, 1080P, 4K), frame rate (24, 30, 60), stabilization on or off, and whether the recording itself is mirrored. Available options depend on what your device supports. PROMPTER BOARD Turn this phone into a dedicated prompter board while a DSLR, mirrorless, or second phone does the recording. Supports portrait and landscape, window-ratio cropping, and the horizontal flip that beam-splitter rigs need. Controls fade away once scrolling starts, leaving nothing but your script. FLOATING PROMPTER Uses the system Picture in Picture layer to float your script above other apps, so it works with any camera app you prefer. The script keeps scrolling in the background and never covers the frame you are recording. SHADOWING Import a video as your reference, lay it out on the canvas, and stack the camera, text, stickers and a background on top — then read along while you watch. Recording captures the whole canvas together with the camera feed, the microphone picks up your voice only, and the take is cropped to 9:16 and saved to your photo library. Shadowing sessions have their own free quota, separate from prompting. FULLY ADJUSTABLE Scroll speed, font size, line height, text and background colors, background opacity, mirror flip, looping, a pre-roll countdown, and reading-line position and visibility — tune every one of them to your pace and your camera position. SCRIPT LIBRARY Create, edit, and delete scripts, all stored offline on this device. Editing scripts and changing settings are always free and never counted. PRIVACY No server, no account, no sign-in.
