Most teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed and leave you chasing the text. Wispim follows the words you say, so you can look at the lens and speak naturally. FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE The script moves as you speak, waits while you think, and can find an earlier line when you repeat it. No speed to set or guess. READS OVER YOUR CAMERA APP Put the script in a floating window and record in Camera, Instagram, TikTok or another app. Move and rotate the window to place it under the lens. RECORD IN WISPIM Record video with your script in front of you, using the front or back camera. The script follows your voice while you record, and videos are saved to Photos. ON IPHONE DUO Film yourself with the back camera and read your script on the outer display. SPEAK TO CONTROL IT Say pause, continue, go back, restart or go to the end to control the prompter. BUILT FOR REAL TAKES • In full screen, tap a word to continue from it • In Voice mode, drag to read ahead; when you speak again, Wispim follows your words • Mirror mode for a beam-splitter rig • Adjustable text size, margins, line spacing and weight • Countdown before the take starts • Import TXT, Markdown, PDF, DOCX, and RTF TWENTY LANGUAGES The app is translated into twenty languages. Voice following works in every language your iPhone recognises, and spoken commands work in ten of them. PRIVACY Wispim does not receive your scripts or audio. Speech recognition runs on-device where available; otherwise iOS may send audio to Apple to convert it to text, which Wispim never receives. You can turn off usage statistics not linked to you in Settings. FREE AND PRO Free: six prompter takes, with voice following, voice commands and the floating window. Writing and editing scripts is free and unlimited. Pro: unlimited takes, import TXT, Markdown, PDF, DOCX, and RTF, and your script library on all your iPhones, through your own iCloud. Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use: https://wispim.com/terms

About

Teleprompter

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 — 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 — 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 — your intro, your pitch, your sermon, your audition sides — 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 — to record video while the script scrolls * Microphone — to record audio and to listen for Voice Scroll * Speech Recognition — to advance the script as you speak * Photos (add only) — to save finished recordings to your library SUBSCRIPTION Teleprompter is free to download.
