Telepront Teleprompter for Meditation Teachers on Mac
Meditation and yoga teachers record long, slowly paced guided sessions where every breath and pause counts. Telepront is a free native Mac teleprompter that floats above QuickTime, ScreenFlow, or Loom. On-device Apple speech recognition tracks your soft voice without any internet connection, scrolling the script gently at the pace you set with your breath.
See It in Action
Guided meditation recording is unusually demanding. The speaker needs to maintain a low, even tone for fifteen, thirty, even sixty minutes, with frequent intentional silence. A regular auto-scrolling teleprompter that runs on a timer interrupts that flow because the script either races ahead during silence or lags during a slower passage. A voice-tracked teleprompter solves this because the script only moves when the teacher speaks.\nTo set up, install Telepront from the Mac App Store, paste your guided session script, and dim the panel opacity to around 60 percent so the screen glow does not throw light onto your face during a candle-lit recording. Open QuickTime or ScreenFlow with your camera and microphone, position the panel under the webcam, and start recording.\nWrite scripts with deliberate pacing markers. Use ellipses for short pauses, blank lines for medium pauses, and the words BREATH IN, BREATH OUT in caps for cued breath cycles. Keep sentences short, often six to ten words, with a slow rhythm. The on-device speech tracker handles whisper-soft delivery far better than cloud services because it runs on the local Apple Neural Engine.\nFor sessions longer than 30 minutes, split the script into stages: arrival, body scan, breath focus, visualization, integration, return. Paste them with clear headers so you can find your place if you take a sip of water or shift posture. Many wellness teachers record one stage at a time and stitch them in ScreenFlow afterward.

How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Use ellipses for short pauses and blank lines for medium pauses to give your eye a natural rest mid-script.
Mark BREATH IN and BREATH OUT in caps so you reflexively cue the breath even at minute 25 of a session.
Dim the panel opacity to about 60 percent in low-light setups so screen glow does not spill onto your face.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the speech tracker keep up with slow guided meditation pacing?
Yes. Apple's on-device tracking handles slow, soft delivery and waits patiently when you intentionally pause for breath segments.
Can I include long silent gaps in my script?
Yes. Insert blank lines or use the pause hotkey to hold the panel during 30-60 second silence periods, then resume when you cue the next breath.
Does it work for video sessions on Insight Timer or YouTube?
Yes. Record with QuickTime or ScreenFlow while Telepront floats your guided meditation script above the recording window.
Will it disturb my recording space?
No. Telepront is silent and runs natively, so no fan spin-up, no sound effects, and no notifications interrupt your session audio.
Is the app free for wellness teachers?
Yes. Telepront is free on the Mac App Store with no in-app purchases or premium tier.
