Teleprompter for Doctors: Patient Education Videos on Mac

Patient education has shifted to video for the same reason it shifted to handouts decades ago: consistency. Every patient who hears the same pre-op instructions, the same medication walkthrough, the same post-op recovery plan gets better outcomes. The challenge is that physicians are busy, and rerecording a five-minute video four times to get the wording right is a non-starter. Telepront removes the rerecord cycle.\nThe app is native Swift, signed by Apple, and distributed only through the Mac App Store. It never sends scripts or audio off the device, which is the right default whenever protected health information might appear in a draft script. Apple's on-device speech recognition handles optional voice scrolling — useful when your hands are gesturing through anatomy or pointing at a diagram.\nFor patient-facing video, eye contact builds trust. Position the floating Telepront panel just below your camera, narrow it to a single column, and the script reads as direct eye contact. At a typical 24-inch seated distance from the Mac, 30–34pt is the comfortable range. Pair it with Loom for async patient-specific videos or QuickTime for the educational library on your practice website.\nTelepront does not record. That keeps the workflow simple: your existing Mac recording tool captures, Telepront handles the prompter layer above it.
