Your script scrolls on screen while the iPhone camera records. Record TikTok videos, Reels, Shorts, YouTube clips, lessons, and product demos without memorizing a line. Customize text size, colors, scrolling speed, and layouts. No subscription, no account, nothing to unlock.
Camera mode turns your iPhone into a video teleprompter app, so you can record TikTok, Reels, Shorts, lessons, and product demos while reading your script on the same screen.
Use the front or back camera, place the text near the lens, and keep your delivery natural without switching between a notes app and the camera.
Adjust text size, text color, scrolling speed, line spacing, and text area size and position to match how you read. Place the script where your eyes naturally land — a compact area near the lens for eye contact, or a larger block when you need more on screen.
Mirror mode reverses the text for a beam-splitter rig; flip mode handles an upside-down mount. With mirror on, your iPhone becomes the display inside a hardware prompter instead of a separate screen beside one.
Camera mode records video with the script over the live view. Prompter mode shows the script and records nothing, for when a webcam, a DSLR, or a Zoom call is doing the capturing. Voice mode records audio only — podcast segments, voiceover takes, and singing along to your own lyrics.
Write or paste a script once and it works in all three. Pause scrolling, move the script up or down by hand, and rehearse at a comfortable pace so your iPhone takes sound prepared without feeling stiff.
Fast vertical recording, readable text near the camera, and fewer retakes without a complex production setup.
Stable talking heads, lessons, and product walkthroughs with a repeatable eye line while the script stays easy to read.
Street interviews, creator vlogs, and walk and talk takes where the phone moves but your lines stay clear.
Tabletop or pocket tripod setups for cozy filming, after work hooks, and fast tweaks to colors and line spacing before you record.
A teleprompter app for iPhone has to balance readable text, scroll control, camera framing, and the quality of the file you end up with.
Freely adjust text size, text area size, and text area position for a small 2–3 line lens-friendly layout or a larger reading view.
Use pure text scrolling without the camera, Camera mode with front/back camera support when you want video capture and script overlay in one flow, or Voice mode when only the audio matters.
Keep your script ready on device for travel, events, classrooms, or quick creator sessions where internet access may be uneven.
A prompter that records at low resolution forces you into a second take with the stock camera. Recording in 4K means the file you finish reading with is the file you upload.
Added in version 3.1 for iPhone and iPad. Pick the frame rate before you record — the script keeps scrolling either way.
The frame rate feature film has used for a century. Slight motion blur, a softer feel. Good for interviews, brand pieces, and anything you want to look deliberate rather than immediate.
The right choice for most scripted delivery. Reading from a prompter means you are talking, not moving fast, so there is nothing for a higher frame rate to resolve. Half the file size of 60 fps for the same visible quality.
Worth it when something in frame actually moves quickly, or when you plan to slow footage down in the edit. Costs roughly twice the storage and more battery per minute.
4K at 30 fps is the setting most creators should leave it on: it matches what YouTube, Reels, and TikTok re-encode to, and it gives you room to crop or reframe a vertical cut out of a horizontal take without losing detail.
Everything you need to sound confident on camera, without memorizing every line.
Scripts and controls stay on device so a weak signal does not stop you from opening the app or recording.
A lightweight flow that stays simple so you spend less time in menus and more time on the take.
Use Camera mode to film with the built-in iPhone camera while the prompt stays over the live view.
Record audio without video while the script scrolls — for podcast episodes, voiceovers, and singing along to your own lyrics.
In Prompter mode, Camera mode, and Voice mode, pause scrolling or manually move the script up or down.
Reverse the text for a beam-splitter teleprompter mirror, or flip it when the iPhone is mounted upside down.
Adjust text size, text color, scrolling speed, text area size, and text area position for tripod, stand, or handheld framing.
Pause on any line, move back to reread, or skip forward instead of staying locked in one long auto scroll.
From short-form creators to location producers.
"Camera mode is exactly what I needed for short-form content. The script overlays right on the camera preview — I can read and record in one take without cutting to a notes app. My iPhone is now my entire studio."

"I shoot a lot of client work with just an iPhone and a small crew. Being able to flip between front and back camera without fumbling, with the script always on screen, cuts my location shooting time in half."
Natalie Brooks

"I've reviewed dozens of iPhone teleprompter apps and most hide basic features behind a paywall or crash mid-shoot. This is the cleanest implementation I've tested — it does exactly what it says, first time, every time."

Practical answers for recording, offline use, device setup, and natural delivery.
Install a teleprompter app, paste your script, and choose Camera mode so the text scrolls over the live camera view while you record. Set the text area near the top of the screen so your eyes stay close to the lens, then adjust scrolling speed to match how fast you actually talk. In Prompter mode the app shows text only, for when a second device or someone else is recording.
No. iOS has no built-in teleprompter in the Camera app, and there is no system setting that scrolls text over the viewfinder. You need a separate app to overlay a scrolling script on the camera view.
Yes. Version 3.1 added 4K recording on iPhone and iPad, with a choice of 24, 30, or 60 fps. For scripted delivery straight to camera, 4K at 30 fps is the setting most creators should use: 60 fps roughly doubles file size without a visible gain when nothing in frame moves quickly.
Yes. Camera mode uses the built-in iPhone camera, supports front and back camera recording, and overlays the teleprompter text on the live view.
Yes. It works well for vertical short-form videos, hooks, creator updates, product demos, and talking-head clips.
Yes. The app is local-first, so scripts and prompting controls stay available without relying on a browser session or constant connection.
Text size, text color, scrolling speed, text area size, and text area position matter most because they control readability and how far your eyes move from the camera.
Yes. Voice mode records audio while the script scrolls, with no camera and no video file. It is built for podcast episodes, voiceover and narration takes, and singing along to your own lyrics, where a video file would only be something to delete afterwards. Scroll speed, text size, and voice control work the same as in the other two modes.
Camera mode records video with your script overlaid on the live camera view. Prompter mode shows scrolling text only, for when a separate camera or another device is recording. Voice mode records audio without video. Pick the mode by what you need to come out at the end: a video file, nothing, or an audio file.
Yes. Mirror mode reverses the script horizontally so it reads correctly through the glass of a beam-splitter teleprompter, and flip turns it the other way for an upside-down mount. Both let an iPhone act as the display inside a traditional teleprompter rig rather than sitting beside one. Neither affects the recorded video — the reversal is only on what you read.
