Free Autocue with Voice Tracking
Professional autocue software usually costs hundreds of dollars or requires a monthly subscription. Teleprompter for Mac is a completely free autocue app — no trials, no watermarks, no limits. Just paste your script, hit Start, and the AI follows your voice.
See It in Action
Most free autocue tools available online are browser-based and come with significant limitations. They can't float over other apps, they require an internet connection, and many add watermarks or time limits to push you toward a paid plan. For anyone doing regular video work, these restrictions quickly become deal-breakers.
This Mac autocue app takes a different approach. It's a native application that runs independently of your browser, uses Apple's on-device speech recognition for zero-latency voice tracking, and works completely offline. There are no restrictions, no ads, and no upsells. The autocue panel floats as a system-level overlay, which means it stays visible on top of any app — including full-screen recording software.
