Teleprompter: Video Maker

A teleprompter that listens.

Most prompters scroll on a timer and leave you chasing lines. This one follows your voice: it moves when you speak, waits when you pause, and picks up again the moment you carry on. Your eyes stay on the lens, which is the whole point of reading to camera.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

The script keeps pace with you
Speech recognition runs on your device and tracks where you are in the text, word by word. Slow down for emphasis and it slows with you. Lose your place and it waits. Prefer a clock? Timed scrolling is one tap away, with a speed you set.

It tells you how the read went
Finish a read-through and you get an honest account of it: words a minute, the passages that dragged compared with your own pace, where you hesitated, and every filler word it heard — "um", "you know", the ones you stop noticing. Read again next week and see whether they are falling.

Every take is kept
Your rehearsal record shows the last take, your practice this week against a goal you set, and a streak once you have two days in a row. Progress you can see is progress you keep making.

Say what it is about, and it writes it
Tell it the subject, who is listening, and how long you have. On devices with Apple Intelligence the draft is written on the phone itself — nothing is uploaded. Everywhere else, your points are assembled into a draft in the right order. Fourteen templates cover the shapes people actually need: an apology, a product launch, a wedding toast, an interview answer, a video hook.

Record while you read
Film against the front or back camera with the script over the top, exactly where the lens is. Pause mid-take and carry on — the video is stitched back into one file. Trim the ends without leaving the app, then save to Photos or share.

Built for reading aloud
Adjust the reading line so the text sits as close to the lens as you like. Resize and move the script box with a pinch. Mirror it for a beam-splitter rig. Set a countdown, keep the screen awake, and watch the elapsed time beside the Dynamic Island where your eyes already are.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No sign-in. Nothing uploaded. Your scripts, recordings and rehearsal history stay on your device, and speech recognition runs there too.

WRITE HOWEVER YOU LIKE
Type it, import a PDF, Word file or plain text, paste a web link and keep just the article, or — on iPad — write it out with the Apple Pencil and have it read back as text.
