Rolltake is a free teleprompter for iPhone that records the take. Write or import a script, hit play, and read straight down the lens: smooth scrolling, a fixed reading line under the front camera, and controls that fade until you need them. Free. No ads, no account, no subscription, no internet required. Your scripts and your videos stay on your phone. READ AND RECORD IN ONE TAKE - Record from the front camera while the script scrolls over the lens - The text and reading line are never in the video; only you are - Full-resolution recordings with no watermark, saved straight to Photos - Keep recording or leave the app while a take saves in the background - Camera on and camera off keep their own layout: reading line, text width, position, and size READ WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE - Ten speed levels instead of a vague slider, remembered per script - Drag to scrub anywhere in the script, with flick momentum - Flubbed a line? One tap jumps back a sentence - Countdown before scrolling starts: Off, 3, 5, or 10 seconds - Elapsed and remaining time while you read - Reading line at the top, center, or eye line, so your eyes stay near the lens - Screen stays awake for the whole take HANDS-FREE CONTROL - Apple Watch app: play, pause, faster, slower, from your wrist - Neewer teleprompter remotes over Bluetooth: play/pause, text size, and nudge - Presentation clickers, page-turner rings and pedals, Bluetooth keyboards, and game controllers - Speed changes and back-a-sentence while the camera is rolling MADE FOR REAL RIGS - Mirror and vertical flip for beam-splitter teleprompters - Amber and Green themes for classic glass, Paper for bright rooms, Night for dim ones - Four typefaces tuned for reading at a distance: Sans, Serif, Rounded, Mono SCRIPTS, HANDLED - Share text from Notes, Mail, Safari, or any app straight into a new script - Create scripts from Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight - Import .txt and Markdown files from the Files app - Export to Notes, Mail, Messages, Files, or AirDrop - Search, sort, and duplicate from the script list - Switch scripts without leaving the prompter - Editor autosaves as you type; spot a typo mid-take and fix it from the prompter WHO IT'S FOR YouTubers and video creators reading to camera. Podcasters and streamers. Course creators recording lessons. Speakers rehearsing a talk. Anyone recording a wedding toast, a pitch, or a eulogy who wants to sound like themselves instead of sounding read. Rolltake does the whole job: it prompts, it records, and it stays out of the way. No watermarks, no upgrade nags, no paywall. Open it, load your words, press record.

CaptiVision Client turns an iPhone into a camera and microphone for CaptiVision Host, so Deaf and hard of hearing people can see who is speaking in a room and read live captions with each speaker's name. Also supports using iPad, Mac and Vision Pro as cameras. Stand a few phones around a classroom, meeting room or small hall, facing the people who will talk. Borrowed phones work too. Each phone scans the code on the iPad and joins in seconds. There are no accounts to create and no network settings to change. WHAT THE PHONE DOES • Films the room and sends the picture to the iPad over your Wi-Fi, with very little delay. • Uses all of its microphones together, aimed where the camera points, so the iPad hears the person in front of it clearly. • Keeps faces well lit, even with a bright window behind someone. • Shows its battery, temperature, sound level, connection and a level guide, readable from across the room. • Connects straight to the iPad when the Wi-Fi is weak, so the video keeps up. • Reminds you to turn on Do Not Disturb, so a phone call does not cut off a camera. • Can be set as an interpreter camera, to keep a sign language interpreter on screen. MADE FOR LENDING A PHONE The person holding the phone stays in control. They can mute the microphone or leave at any time, and the iPad cannot override that. When a session ends, the phone closes its camera view and keeps nothing: no recordings, no photos, no face data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video and sound go only to the iPad on your own network, only while the phone is in a session. Nothing is sent to the internet, to us, or to anyone else. YOU ALSO NEED CaptiVision Host on an iPad or Mac. CaptiVision Client is free. Terms of Use: (Apple Standard EULA) https://captivision.app/terms Privacy: https://captivision.app/privacy
