A MacBook Pro running Prompter: the prompter hangs from the notch while it listens, the editor is open below it, and a camera window shows the host on camera
An iPhone held upright: Prompter’s camera page: the script in a box by the front camera over the host on camera, the script controls and the Eye contact check, the camera settings and the record button

Eye contact

No one can tell you’re reading.

The words sit at the lens, not mid-screen, and keep up with your voice.

  • Read right at the lens, not mid-screen
  • Film upright for 9:16 or sideways for 16:9
  • Lean in mid-take; the size holds for where you sat

Voice

Follows your voice.

Talk and it keeps up. Pause, ad-lib or go back and it holds your place.

  • See the next word before you say it
  • Bracket a cue and it won’t listen for it
  • Speak the script’s language; it listens offline
  • Stop and the words rewind to where the take began
  • Or tap Carry on › to pick up where you stopped

Eye-contact check

It tells you if it’ll look like eye contact.

A row under the words says whether you’re reading into the lens, and while you film, what to change.

  • See a green tick when you’re reading into the lens
  • Get warned when you start looking away
  • Blink or glance away; it won’t cry wolf
  • See how far back to sit

Resolution

Film in Log, HDR or Standard.

The take is a real camera file, not a screen recording.

  • Record 10-bit HDR, or Apple Log on Pro iPhones
  • Preview a look, or your own .cube grade
  • Keep the file in Log, whatever the look
  • Plug in any USB-C mic or receiver of your choice
  • Set ISO, shutter and white balance by hand

Controls

One tap, right under the words.

Between takes, a bar under the script holds what you reach for. While you film, it steps aside.

  • Tap any word to start from it
  • Drag the blue line to scrub to any line
  • Jump to the top, then back to where you were
  • Show 2 to 5 lines, or pinch the words to size them
  • Edit the script at the line you’re on
An iPhone held upright: Prompter’s Projects page: Write, Import and Paste, the apps scripts come in from, and the scripts as cards with their takes
An iPhone held upright: A script open from the camera’s pencil, with the word the prompter was on selected and the keyboard up

Takes

Every take, kept with its script.

Each script is a card; its takes sit in a strip under it.

  • Share a script from Notes, Google Docs, Word or Pages
  • Import from Notion, Evernote, Obsidian, Bear, etc.
  • Import Word, PDF, RTF, Markdown or text files
  • See the newest takes under each script
An iPhone held upright: A script’s takes in one list: each take’s number, when, its quality and frame rate, how long it ran and how much of the script it read, with one swiped open to Share, Save to Photos and Delete
An iPhone held upright: One take’s page in the light theme: the take paused partway, then when it was filmed, how much of the script it read, its pace, its file and how the camera was set, with Share, Save to Photos, Retake and Delete

Review

Pick the keeper.

All of a script’s takes in one list, with how long each ran and how much of the script it read.

  • Compare every take’s length and how far it read
  • Swipe a take away; Undo brings it back
  • Watch a take, then step to the one before or after
  • See each take’s own quality, frame rate and color
  • Retake from where it began, or send the keeper to Photos
An iPhone held upright: Prompter’s Settings page with Scroll on Steady at 160 words a minute: a live preview, then Scroll, Speed, Countdown, Text size, Lines and the rest
An iPhone held upright: The same Settings page in the light theme, on Steady at 160 words a minute

Settings

Or set a pace.

No listening: pick a speed and get a count-in.

  • Set 60 to 240 words a minute
  • Preview the pace before you record
  • Count in from 3, 5 or 10
  • Read in one of eight fonts
  • Pick System, Light or Dark
An iPhone held upright: The card Prompter shows before iOS asks for anything: the camera, the microphone and speech recognition, what each is for, and that what you say is never sent anywhere

  1. Each app’s lowest US App Store price on November 6, 2026, before tax: one-time if it has one, otherwise its cheapest yearly plan. Textream is free for good. Teleprompter records you for free too, but the price shown is Teleprompter Pro, which adds imports and remotes (owner, 2026-11-09); its App Store page lists it at $59.99 without a period, and the same tier is yearly on its Mac app. Teleprompter for Video is free for scripts up to 750 characters, Avocado’s free plan records one take of up to 30 seconds, Teleprompter for Video Pro’s free takes stop at 3 minutes and carry a watermark, and Teleprompter.com’s and BIGVU’s free plans watermark recordings (BIGVU’s also caps them at 9 minutes); the price shown for each is a paid plan. Teleprompter: Floating Notes is free to download, but neither its App Store page nor its site says what the free version includes, so its price is its Lifetime Membership. Teleprompter for Video Pro (FoxCue) is vBridge Technologies’ app, not Norton Five’s Teleprompter for Video. What you’d save: Prompter’s $4.99 against that price, with a subscription kept three years; percentages rounded down.
  2. An App Store screenshot of Teleprompter: Floating Notes says its AI Mode scrolls automatically with speech. Its description and its site don’t say how.
  3. Teleprompter for Video Pro announced Voice-to-Scroll, which moves the script along as you speak, in its 2024 release notes on the App Store. Its current description and its site don’t mention it.
  4. Avocado follows your voice, lighting up the word you’re about to say, on Avocado Pro, its paid plan. On the free plan the script scrolls at a steady pace.
  5. BIGVU’s Voice Control scrolls while you speak and waits when you pause, set by a voice threshold.
  6. On their App Store pages and websites, none of the eleven describes a live eye-contact check or text sized automatically for your distance. Prompter measures how far away your face is with the front camera, sizes the words for that distance, keeps them at the lens, and tells you while you film whether reading will look like eye contact.
  7. Teleprompter for Video and BIGVU can redraw your eyes toward the lens with AI after you film. Teleprompter for Video uploads the video to its server for it, as a premium feature; BIGVU’s fix runs in the cloud, on its AI Pro and Max plans only.
  8. On iPhones that shoot it: iPhone 15 Pro and later Pro models. QCam says the same, “on supported iPhone Pro models.”
  9. A check means the app’s App Store privacy label says “Data Not Collected.”
  10. A dash means you sign up before you can use it, or neither its store page nor its own site says you can skip that.

Stop paying for overpriced legacy software.

Questions, bugs or ideas for the app. Tell us which iPhone and which version of iOS you’re on.

What does it cost?

It’s free to try: your first three takes are free, with everything in the app. Then it’s $4.99, once, to unlock it for good, through the App Store. There’s no subscription, updates are free, and the takes you’ve made stay yours either way.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Any iPhone on iOS 18 or later. The camera offers what your iPhone’s front camera can film, so 4K, 60 fps and Apple Log depend on the model: Apple Log needs a recent Pro.

Can I film sideways?

Yes. Hold the phone the way you want to film: upright for 9:16, sideways for 16:9. The words move to sit by the front camera either way.

Where do my takes go?

Into Prompter, filed under the script you read, and nowhere else. Open one to watch it, then share it to Photos, AirDrop or Files. Deleting a script deletes its takes. They’re also in Files › On My iPhone › Prompter.

Can I use a microphone?

Yes. Plug in a wired mic or a wireless receiver and pick it under Mic on the camera.

Does it need the internet?

Only to buy or restore the unlock, through the App Store. Filming and following your voice work offline: speech recognition runs on your iPhone.

Is it the same app as Prompter for Mac?

No. They’re separate apps, each bought once. The Mac app puts your script under your MacBook’s camera: choose Mac above, or see Prompter for Mac.
