Voice-Controlled Teleprompter for Mac
Forget foot pedals and remote controls. Telepront uses AI speech recognition to follow your voice in real-time. Speak naturally and the text scrolls to match your pace — speeding up when you do, pausing when you pause.
See It in Action
Traditional teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed, forcing you to match the machine's pace. If you pause to think, the text keeps moving. If you speed up, you're reading ahead of what's displayed. Voice-activated teleprompters flip this dynamic — the machine follows you.
Apple's on-device speech recognition runs locally on your Mac, matching your spoken words to the script in real time. The text only advances when you speak, and it handles natural pauses, filler words, and even skipped sentences. There's no training period — it works out of the box with any accent or speaking style that macOS speech recognition supports.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Grant microphone access
The app needs mic permission for speech recognition — allow it in System Settings > Privacy.
Speak at your natural pace
Don't try to match a scroll speed — the text follows you, not the other way around.
Pause whenever you need to
The scroll stops when you stop speaking and picks up when you resume.
Skip or ad-lib freely
If you jump ahead in your script, the AI catches up smoothly without jarring jumps.
Tips from Creators
Speak clearly but naturally — the speech recognition handles accents well but mumbling reduces accuracy.
A quiet environment helps recognition accuracy, especially if you're far from your Mac's microphone.
If you use an external mic for recording, the teleprompter still uses your Mac's built-in mic for tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the voice tracking?
Very accurate. It uses Apple's Speech framework with fuzzy matching to handle natural speech variations.
What if I go off-script?
The teleprompter pauses until it hears words matching your script, then catches up smoothly.
