The Orator: Speech Prompter
Your words. At your own pace.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read your script at your pace, move through cue cards, and keep an eye on presentation time. Prepare and present on iPhone and iPad.
Focus on what you want to say. The Orator brings your script, reading pace and presentation time together.
For a talk, lesson, work presentation or wedding toast: prepare your words, rehearse at your own pace and take them with you on iPhone and iPad.
Prepare your script
Paste text or import TXT, Markdown and RTF files. Review section timing, edit headings and paragraphs, and split or merge text while keeping the original source.
Read at your own pace
Measure a comfortable pace with a short reading exercise, or start with the default pace. Choose a scrolling manuscript or cue cards, use automatic movement or advance manually, and mark places to pause.
Follow your presentation time
See planned and used time for each section alongside the overall elapsed time. Explore another part of your script, return to where you were reading, or reset the progress to rehearse again.
Keep a complete manuscript file
An .orator file includes the text, formatting, timing, reading settings and saved reading position. Save it with Files or iCloud Drive and open it on another device. Save the file again to transfer later edits. Each device keeps its own local library.
Made for iPhone and iPad
Adjust the text size, use light or dark appearance, and read and edit with controls that adapt to your screen.
Create and present one personal script for free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks multiple scripts, script duplication, records of talks you have given and voice follow. Customers who bought the paid app keep full access at no extra charge. No subscription, advertising or separate app account is required. Available in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
On iPhone Duo in tabletop posture, keep your current cue card above the fold while the next card and presentation controls stay below. In book posture, cue-card view places the current and next cards side by side.
Voice follow · Beta
Included with Full Unlock. Turn on the microphone to recognize speech on your device and follow nearby sentences. Recognized text is highlighted; the reader waits when you go off script. Scroll manually to continue from a new position. Test mode shows a small transcript below the script. Voice follow requires iOS 26 or later or iPadOS 26 or later, plus a supported device and language. Update your operating system to use this feature on an older version. Script editing, reading and timing remain available on iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 or later. First use may download language assets. Audio and recognition results are not saved as files or sent to a developer server.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
We have refined the entire experience of preparing, reading and rehearsing your script, so you can focus on your presentation. Version 1.1.0 brings thoughtful improvements to the reading layout, editing, timing and manuscript management.
• More room for your words: Streamlined the top and bottom of the reader on iPad and Duo, reduced repeated headings and timing information, and refined controls for different screen sizes and orientations.
• Edit where you read: Update your script and section headings directly in the reader, and organize your content by splitting or merging cue cards.
• Timing at a glance: Adjust section times and your overall target more easily, with clearer progress and remaining time for automatic card advance.
• Pick up where you left off: Improved reading-position and progress recovery when switching between manuscript and cue cards, rotating the screen or changing reading modes.
• Simpler, more comfortable controls: Grouped frequently used tools, removed unnecessary menu items, improved controls at large text sizes and made the current paragraph more accessible.
• Clearer copy creation: Name and copy your edited manuscript. When it differs from the imported source, review the changes before choosing to rebuild a copy from that source.
• Easier library cleanup: Delete paused manuscripts and recover them from Recently Deleted for 30 days. We have also refined rehearsal and presentation records and saved reading positions.
