Use a free Mac teleprompter during Webex meetings
Webex is the platform of choice for regulated industries and global enterprises, which means presentations need to land precisely. Telepront is a free macOS teleprompter that floats above the Webex app and runs Apple's on-device speech recognition, so nothing leaves your machine. Native Swift, Apple Silicon optimized, no subscription.
See It in Action
Cisco Webex is built around reliability and compliance, and presentations on it tend to be high-stakes: investor calls, regulatory updates, board meetings. Telepront complements that environment by giving you a polished script delivery layer without introducing any cloud service, plugin, or extension into the Webex flow.\nThe app runs as a separate macOS window that ignores Webex's full-screen modes and presenter modes. Whether you are running a basic meeting, a Webex Webinar with thousands of attendees, or a Webex Event, the floating teleprompter sits above the video tiles and your shared content without ever showing up in the broadcast feed unless you explicitly share your full desktop.\nApple's on-device speech recognition is critical for Webex users in finance, healthcare, and government sectors. Audio is processed locally on the Apple Silicon Neural Engine, so confidential briefings never travel to a transcription API. There is no account creation step that might trigger procurement review.\nTelepront does not record video. Webex has its own recording, and most enterprises pair it with internal storage. Telepront layers on top, scrolls in time with your voice, and disappears when you quit. Adjustable speed, font, and opacity settings persist between sessions, so once you tune it for your camera setup, it stays consistent meeting to meeting.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Install Telepront on your Mac
Download from the Mac App Store under id 6759193513. The app is free and requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon.
Load your Webex script
Paste talking points into Telepront and pick a font size that reads well from your camera distance.
Launch Webex and start your session
Open Webex Meetings, Webinars, or Events. Telepront stays floating above whether you share screen or video only.
Position the teleprompter near the lens
Drag the panel directly below your webcam and snap to the top edge so your eye line reads as direct contact.
Use voice tracking during the call
Speak naturally and Telepront scrolls on-device. Use keyboard shortcuts to pause for Q&A without losing place.
Tips from Creators
Set opacity to 70-80 percent so you can monitor Webex video tiles and reactions through the script.
Use 44pt font for boardroom Webex calls where you may sit further from the laptop than usual.
Anchor the panel within a centimeter of your camera lens to keep eye contact convincing on Webex's typical 720p stream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Telepront work with the Webex desktop app on Mac?
Yes. Telepront floats above any application on macOS, including the Webex Meetings, Webex Webinars, and Webex Events desktop apps.
Will Webex attendees see Telepront on my screen share?
Only if you share your entire desktop. Share a specific application or document and Telepront remains visible only to you.
Does on-device speech recognition meet enterprise requirements?
Recognition runs locally via Apple's Speech framework. No audio is uploaded, which aligns well with most Webex enterprise security policies.
Do I need a paid Webex plan to use this?
No. Telepront is independent of your Webex subscription. It works the same on free and enterprise Webex accounts.
Does it support languages other than English?
Voice tracking supports the languages Apple's on-device speech framework supports, which includes Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin, and others.
