We've made On Cue easier to find on the App Store. New here? On Cue is a voice teleprompter: it listens as you speak and scrolls your script with you, hands-free. Pause, ad-lib or skip a line and it keeps up. Made for videos, speeches, presentations, podcasts and self-tapes. One purchase, no subscription.

Smoother scrolling experience

• On Cue is now on the Mac. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the Mac app uses your Mac's full camera picture in a window you can size as you like. • Listens on your device in about 45 languages, with Apple's newest speech recognition (iOS 26 or later): fast, and it works offline. Pick your language on the first screen and On Cue downloads what it needs. Other languages keep working through Apple's server-based recognition, and the language list shows which is which. • Side margins go further: at the maximum the script becomes a narrow column in the middle of the screen, close to the lens, so your eyes stay near the camera. • A smoother camera picture behind the script. Words keep their crisp dark outline, now drawn far more efficiently. • The app now also speaks German. • The reading line now sits just under the row you are reading, instead of through it. • Fixed: the reading pace in Prompter settings now shows in your language. • Fixed: the countdown started one number too high (3 seconds showed a 4).

• On Cue now speaks your language: the interface is in Portuguese, Italian and Spanish, following your iPhone's language. Voice commands stay in English.

• Smoother, faster following. The script keeps up with your voice and glides instead of jumping, at 120 Hz on ProMotion screens. • Right-to-left scripts. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu now read right to left in the prompter. • Fixed a rare crash when leaving the prompter on iOS 27.

• Listens in your script's language. Open a script in Portuguese, Italian or any language your iPhone recognises, and On Cue switches to it. On first launch it starts in your phone's language. A language you pick by hand stays set for that script. • Follows you more closely, especially in Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and other languages with accents. Common words and repeated phrases are far less likely to make the script jump ahead.

• Smoother recording: the video no longer drops frames while the script scrolls. • Fixed a problem that could leave a recording with no sound.

Fixes a bug that silently lost the sound from your recordings: if you paused part-way through a take and carried on, the video kept going but the audio stopped at the pause and never came back. Recordings now capture sound right through. Also in this release: • The reading line can be moved anywhere on the screen now, including right to the top. It used to stop short of where the slider said it would. • In landscape, settings open beside the script instead of covering it — so you can see what a change does while you make it. • The controls no longer dim while you read, and the camera, settings and close buttons are bigger and further apart. • Removed the zoom control, which could only crop the picture. The camera now always uses its widest view. • Clearer explanations in help and on the setup screen.

Fixes laggy and jumpy scrolling. On some iPhones the script could trail behind your voice or catch up in bursts; it now keeps pace steadily, including when you pause or change speed part-way through a take.

Fixes a bug that could make the script editor stop scrolling after editing, and makes it easier to finish editing.

Easier to read at a glance. Controls, timings and labels are set in a condensed face that stays out of the script's way, and the whole app sits on a softer black so the amber marks read as light rather than decoration. A countdown that tells you what it's for. The pre-roll is now a film leader — a sweeping ring, the count, and a reminder to find the lens. Turn the camera on or off before you start. Recording is now a switch on the first screen. Previously, if you turned the camera off mid-take there was no way to turn it back on without starting another one.

Reads your language. On Cue now listens in any language your iPhone can recognise, not just English. Pick it on the setup screen or in Prompter settings — it starts on whatever your phone is set to. Spoken commands stay English. Follows you more closely. The script moves at the pace you're actually speaking rather than jumping from word to word, so the line you're reading stays level with your eyes instead of drifting down the screen. Copes with you going off-script. Skip a sentence, paraphrase, or wander off, and the prompter widens its search until it finds where you've got to — instead of sitting on the word you abandoned. It still never scrolls on its own: stop talking and it stops. Survives interruptions. A call, Siri or an alarm now pauses your take and picks it back up afterwards, instead of ending it behind an error message. One row of controls. Restart, listen, record, camera and settings now sit in a single row at the bottom, and they dim during a take rather than disappearing — so they're always where you left them. Also: a confirmation when a take saves to your Photos library, haptic feedback for starting and stopping, and a real speech as the sample script — Mark Twain's Advice to Youth — in place of one that explained the app to itself.

Mirror mode is fixed and confirmed on a real teleprompter rig — the script fills the screen edge to edge, the reading line stays locked to the word you're on, and the text reads correctly through the glass. On Cue now runs on iPad, including iPad Pro. Portrait mode's status row and take controls now live on one edge at the bottom, instead of split top and bottom. The sample script has been rewritten to explain the app as you read it, and the app supports all four device orientations.

Drag to scroll works at any time now — listening or not, no mode to turn on first. Release, and voice tracking picks up right from where you let go. Mirror is fixed for real teleprompter rigs: it now relocates the controls to the phone's reachable edge and turns them right-side up, matching how a rig actually mounts the phone.
