PromptSmart is the only “smart” teleprompter app. Our patented VoiceTrack™ speech recognition technology is revolutionary because it provides a robust solution to automatically follow a speaker's voice in real time. Make your video productions less stressful and more efficient. VoiceTrack™ is a powerful and smart prompting tool that will automatically start and stop at the speaker's natural pace, allowing you to focus on other production values rather than film take after take trying to match a pre-set scroll speed to the speaker's cadence. Save time, energy, and keep your talent focused with PromptSmart. Other teleprompter apps fall short--relying on clunky hardware or pre-set scrolling speeds. We asked tens of thousands of users what they liked most about our prompter app, and over 90% of respondents said "VoiceTrack," calling it "awesome," "astonishing," "tremendous," “easy to use,” a “game changer”—“absolutely brilliant!!!” Our customers tell our story best and PromptSmart products are the highest rated and most frequently rated teleprompter apps in the App Store. PromptSmart is also an invaluable tool for anyone that engages in regular public speaking, like clergy, educators, politicians, podcasters, audiobook creators, or business leaders. Our prompter apps are useful as a practice tool or to help keep you on-message at live speaking engagements.

Scriptesia turns a rough idea into a short-form script that sounds like you — then rolls it on a teleprompter that follows your voice while you film. One take, ready to post. DROP AN IDEA, GET A SCRIPT Type a sentence, bullet points, or a half-formed thought. Scriptesia writes a 15–90 second script with a hook that stops the scroll — in your voice, not generic AI-speak. Attach reference photos or links and it works them in accurately, and your call to action comes out sounding natural instead of salesy. A TELEPROMPTER THAT LISTENS No more glassy-eyed reading. The prompter tracks your voice and advances as you speak — pause, riff, go off script; it waits for you and keeps up. Film hands-free in one take. BUILT-IN CAMERA Record right in the app with the front camera, rear camera, or both at once. Finished takes save straight to your Photos library — your recordings never leave your phone. SOUNDS LIKE YOU, NOT A TEMPLATE Talk for 30 seconds and Scriptesia learns how you deliver — your pacing, your energy, your directness — and writes every script to match. Your words stay yours. REFINE FOR FREE Regenerate, punch up the hook, tighten the ending — polishing a script is always free. Every script also comes with a ready-to-post caption. Made for creators, coaches, agents, and anyone who grows their business on camera. SUBSCRIPTION Scriptesia Creator is a monthly auto-renewing subscription: $27.99/month after a 7-day free trial, 45 AI scripts per month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the end of the trial. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or canceled in your App Store account settings. You can also subscribe on scriptesia.com. Terms of Use: https://scriptesia.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://scriptesia.com/privacy
