Read your script while looking straight into the lens. Teleprompt Free puts a floating, scrolling script window on top of a real camera, so your eyes stay where they belong. Move it, resize it, and set the speed until reading feels natural. THE WHOLE CAMERA, NOT A CROPPED ONE โ€ข Every lens your iPhone has โ€” 0.5x ultra-wide, 1x, and telephoto โ€” as fixed buttons, plus pinch to zoom anywhere in between โ€ข Front and back, each with its own zoom presets โ€ข Up to 4K, at the frame rates your device supports โ€ข Tap to focus, press and hold to lock focus and exposure โ€ข Live filters that are baked into the saved file, not just the preview BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU POST Pick the shape when you create a project and record straight into it: 9:16 vertical, 16:9 widescreen, 4:5 portrait, or 1:1 square. No cropping afterwards, no black bars. THE PROMPTER, YOUR WAY โ€ข Drag the window anywhere on screen and resize it โ€” it stays where you put it โ€ข Scroll speed, font size, text color, and background opacity โ€ข Drag the text to scrub forward or back in the middle of a take โ€ข Mirror mode for beam-splitter rigs โ€ข Countdown before recording starts YOUR SCRIPTS, ORGANIZED Keep every script as a project, grouped into folders. Each project remembers its own camera settings, prompter layout, and output format. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up. Your scripts and videos stay on your device. A recording only leaves it when you choose to share it. FREE, WITH ONE CATCH The free version plays a short video ad before each export. Premium removes it. PREMIUM โ€ข No ads, ever โ€ข Your projects sync across your devices through your own private iCloud Premium is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Read your script. Look at the lens. Get it in one take. Teleprompter turns your iPhone into a real video teleprompter. Your script scrolls in a clean overlay right next to the camera, so you can read every word while still looking straight down the lens. No memorizing. No cutting around the part you forgot. No one off-screen holding cue cards. VOICE SCROLL โ€” THE SCRIPT FOLLOWS YOU Most teleprompter apps make you guess a scroll speed, then chase it. This one listens instead. Turn on Voice Scroll and the script advances as you speak, matching your natural pace. Slow down for emphasis and the prompter slows with you. Pause to collect a thought and it waits. This is the difference between sounding like you're reading and sounding like you're talking. AUTO SCROLL AT A SET PACE Prefer a steady crawl? Switch to fixed-speed auto scroll and dial the speed in until it matches how you talk. Set it once and every take runs the same. BUILT FOR READING ON CAMERA * Adjustable font size โ€” set the text large enough to read from arm's length or a tripod * Adjustable scroll speed for fixed-speed mode * Semi-transparent prompter overlay sits over the live camera preview, so you can frame yourself and read at the same time * Move and resize the prompter panel, and set how transparent it is * Mirror mode for shooting through a glass teleprompter rig * Countdown before recording starts, so you have time to get into position * Front or rear camera, with a grid and quality settings * Screen stays awake the whole time you're on the camera screen YOUR SCRIPT LIBRARY Write or paste a script, save it, and it's there for next time. Build up a library of the scripts you use often โ€” your intro, your pitch, your sermon, your audition sides โ€” and pull any of them up in two taps. Edit any script whenever you want. RECORD AND SAVE Record with the camera while the prompter runs, review the take, and save it to your photo library when you're happy with it. Re-record as many times as you want first. WHO USES THIS * Creators recording talking-head videos, vlogs and short-form content * Actors filming self-tape auditions and rehearsing lines * Pastors and speakers running through a sermon or a talk * Job seekers recording a video resume or an intro * Anyone recording a company update, a product walkthrough or a course lesson * Anyone who has ever recorded the same 30 seconds eleven times because they kept losing the thread PRIVACY Your scripts and your recordings stay on your device. There is no account and no sign-in. Voice Scroll uses Apple's built-in speech recognition, which runs on-device wherever your device and language support it. PERMISSIONS * Camera โ€” to record video while the script scrolls * Microphone โ€” to record audio and to listen for Voice Scroll * Speech Recognition โ€” to advance the script as you speak * Photos (add only) โ€” to save finished recordings to your library SUBSCRIPTION Teleprompter is free to download. Recording requires a Teleprompter Pro subscription. The yearly plan includes a 3-day free trial. 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. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
