Record internal training videos on Mac with consistent narration

Internal training video is the unsung workhorse of L&D — onboarding modules, compliance refreshers, security training, manager enablement. The library grows fast and the audio quality varies wildly because every recording is a one-off. Telepront standardizes narration across the catalog. It's a free native macOS teleprompter that floats over your screen recorder while a subject-matter expert reads a script written by your instructional designer.

See It in Action

L&D teams ship more video than they admit. A typical 500-person company has 40-60 internal training videos in active rotation across onboarding, security, compliance, and manager training, plus a long tail of one-off enablement clips. The pain is that every video is a snowflake — different SME, different recording quality, different pacing — which makes the library feel inconsistent and untrustworthy.\nTelepront introduces the missing standard. The instructional designer writes the script in your standard voice. The SME opens the script in the floating panel, reads it at their own pace, and Apple's on-device speech recognizer scrolls along. The video sounds like part of a single curated catalog instead of a side project.\nFor screen-recorded modules — software training, system walkthroughs, compliance click-throughs — the screenshare-safe opacity matters. Set the panel to about 50 percent, dock it in a corner of your second display, and the recording stays clean. The SME can see the script while the LMS-bound video shows only the application.\nWhen policy changes — and it will, every quarter — the saved script gets edited, the changed sections get re-recorded, and the updated module ships. No need to re-shoot the whole module. That update cycle is what separates an L&D library that ages well from one that goes stale within a year.

Tips from Creators

Standardize a 3-second silent opening on every module so editors can splice cleanly

Use the same panel position across all SMEs so eye lines look consistent in the library

Mark click cues in brackets like [CLICK SAVE] so SMEs and editors share a timeline

Frequently Asked Questions

Can different SMEs read the same script consistently?

Yes. That's the main value. The instructional designer writes once, multiple SMEs read with the same prompter, and your library sounds like one team produced it.

Will the prompter show in screen-recorded modules?

No, if you lower opacity to 50-60 percent and dock the panel where you don't capture. Or use a second display to keep the panel completely off the recorded screen.

Does it integrate with our LMS?

Telepront only handles the script side. Export the recorded MP4 and upload to your LMS — Workday Learning, Docebo, Lessonly, or whatever you use.

Can I update training when policy changes?

Yes. Edit the saved script, re-record only the changed sections, and splice them into the existing module. Same prompter, same voice, same pace.

Is the script content private?

Yes. Apple's speech recognition is on-device on modern Macs, so internal policies, customer names, and product details stay local.
