Read scripts effortlessly in Whereby browser meetings
Whereby's whole appeal is no-download, browser-first meetings, but that means there is nowhere to put a script. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that floats above Chrome or Safari running Whereby, with on-device voice tracking that respects Whereby's privacy-first stance.
See It in Action
Whereby is the favorite browser-based meeting tool for designers, consultants, and small teams. Its strength is friction-free room links, but that simplicity means there is no built-in note or script overlay. Telepront fills the gap with a floating macOS teleprompter that stays on top of any browser tab.\nBecause Whereby runs in Chrome, Safari, Arc, or Brave, traditional in-tab teleprompters do not work well. Telepront's window-on-top behavior is independent of the browser, so even when a Whereby room takes focus or goes full screen, your script remains visible. You can pin it just under your camera for a near-direct eye line.\nWhereby has built a brand on privacy, and Telepront's on-device speech recognition aligns perfectly. Apple's Speech framework runs locally on the Neural Engine, so audio never leaves the laptop. There is no account, no API call, and no telemetry, which matches Whereby's GDPR-conscious user base.\nTelepront does not record video. Whereby has its own recording feature, and you can also pair it with QuickTime or ScreenFlow. Telepront's role is purely to make your delivery sound natural across short Whereby check-ins, longer client calls, or interactive workshops.

Tips from Creators
Set opacity to 80 percent for one-on-one Whereby calls so you can read facial cues through the script.
Use 36-42pt font when sitting an arm's length from your MacBook for comfortable reading without head movement.
Place the panel directly below your camera, within an inch, to keep your gaze near the lens during Whereby calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Whereby require any plugin to use Telepront?
No. Telepront is a separate macOS window. Whereby continues running in the browser, and Telepront simply floats above it.
Will Whereby room participants see my teleprompter?
No, unless you share your full screen. Share only a specific window or tab and Telepront stays private to you.
Does on-device voice tracking work without internet?
Yes. Voice tracking uses Apple's local speech framework. Whereby itself needs the internet, but the teleprompter does not.
Is Telepront compatible with Whereby's Embedded API?
Yes. Whether you use Whereby standalone, embedded in another app, or via the Whereby for Mac wrapper, Telepront floats above all of them.
What Mac and OS version are needed?
