Twitch Streamer Teleprompter for macOS Creators
Twitch streamers juggle chat, alerts, OBS scenes, and a webcam — losing your sponsor read or intro script kills momentum. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that floats above OBS and Streamlabs, scrolls to your voice using Apple on-device speech recognition, and never appears in your capture. Install once, glance up, and stay on script while the chat goes wild.
See It in Action
Most teleprompter apps were built for studio reads, not Just Chatting marathons where the script is one sponsor segment buried in three hours of improv. Twitch streamers need a tool that disappears when chat is rolling and reappears the second a paid spot starts. Telepront's floating panel sits over your OBS preview and webcam without ever entering the broadcast pipeline.
Position matters: streamers usually park the prompter just below the webcam capture area so eye contact with chat stays natural during reads. Apple on-device speech recognition handles the scrolling — when you slow down for a punchline or react to a raid, the script waits. When you speed up through housekeeping, it keeps up.
Because Telepront is a native Mac app, it doesn't tax the same GPU that OBS is using for your encoder. There's no Electron overhead, no browser tab eating Chrome RAM, and no network call delaying your scroll. It launches in under a second, which matters when a sub goes off and you need to start a thank-you read immediately.
For recurring sponsor copy, save each script as its own file and bind a hotkey to switch. Streamers running three rotating sponsors per night can flip scripts between scenes without breaking flow, then close the panel for unscripted gameplay segments.

Tips from Creators
Position the floating panel directly under the webcam capture box so your eyeline stays on camera, not drifting down to a second monitor
Use 28-32pt font for stream reads — large enough to glance at while reacting to chat, small enough to fit a 90-second sponsor segment without scrolling
Set opacity to around 70-75% so alert overlays and chat popups stay visible behind the prompter without bleeding into the text
Frequently Asked Questions
Will viewers see the teleprompter on stream?
No. Telepront stays out of OBS window and display captures when configured correctly. Use Window Capture on your game or browser source rather than full Display Capture.
Does it work with Streamlabs and OBS on Mac?
Yes. Telepront is a separate floating window and is software-agnostic — it works alongside OBS, Streamlabs, Twitch Studio, and Restream on macOS.
Can I read sponsor copy without sounding scripted?
Voice-tracked scrolling matches your natural pace, so you can ad-lib mid-read and the prompter waits for you instead of forcing a fixed speed.
Does it record or send my voice anywhere?
No. Speech recognition runs on-device using Apple's framework. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Is it free for streamers monetizing on Twitch?
Yes. Telepront is free on the Mac App Store with no usage limits, watermarks, or affiliate restrictions.
