Keep your script close to the camera. Move and resize the text, choose timed or voice-following scrolling, and record on iPhone or iPad.
Keep your words in view while you record. Selvi puts a scrolling script over the camera preview on your iPhone or iPad, so you can focus on delivering your message instead of remembering every line.
Prepare a video introduction, lesson, product walkthrough or personal message. Write your script, adjust the reading window and rehearse before you press Record.
• Keep your scripts together. Create a title and text for each script, edit it when your ideas change, and search your library by title or content.
• Set up a comfortable reading window. Drag it closer to the lens, resize its width and height, and adjust text size and background opacity to suit your shot.
• Choose how the text moves. Set your own scrolling speed, or use optional voice following to advance through your script as you speak. Voice following highlights your place and waits during pauses. Choose the script language yourself or let Selvi detect it from the text.
• Rehearse and stay in control. Practice without recording, pause or resume the text, return to the beginning, or scroll by hand to another passage. Pausing the text does not stop your video recording.
• Record with either camera. Choose the front or rear camera before filming, in portrait or landscape. Your finished video contains camera footage and microphone audio; the reading window and controls stay out of the recording.
• Keep track of your takes. My videos shows new recordings with their script title and date. The title stays with the video even if you later rename or delete the script. Watch your recordings in Selvi, save a copy to Photos, share a video file, or delete takes you no longer need.
Voice following processes speech on your device. First use may require an internet connection to download a speech model and additional storage for setup. Once the model is prepared, recognition works offline. Accuracy and responsiveness vary with language, device, accent and background noise. Timed scrolling remains available.
Scripts and recordings are stored locally in Selvi. The script library, timed scrolling and video recording work without an internet connection. No account is required. Save or share videos you want to keep before deleting the app.
Available for iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Interface available in English and Ukrainian.
Downloaded and used on iPhone 6S, iOS 10.3.3. Initial impressions: great app. Was going to purchase the upgrade, which is a reasonable price compared to the other teleprompter apps. But when I played back the recorded videos, I noticed a serious audio bug. The audio is sometimes quieter/muffled, sometimes louder/clear. I checked it wasn't my fault (e.g. finger over mic while recording). It wasn't. Seems to be a bug in the app. Additionally when you tap on the "Report a bug" menu it causes the app to crash. If the developer can release some fixes I will give this app 5 stars. If it worked as promised it would be the best and most reasonably priced teleprompter app Ive seen for iOS. Thanks.
Developer Response
We've improved the quality of the audio and video in the new version, please try it out. Sorry for the inconvenience. And thank you very much for your detailed feedback!
Disappointment

I downloaded this app after a watching a review online. At first I was excited about using it as it is very simple, flexible, easy to use and has all the features that make a good teleprompter app. In fact I thought it was a level up from other teleprompter apps available. ...However when I started to recorded videos only the first couple of seconds of the video would be saved rendering the app totally useless. If this bug could be fixed then this app would be excellent and worth paying for. Disappointing :(
Doesn’t record video

I was really excited to use the app, especially as you can move the script very close to the front facing camera, unfortunately the video only records for about one second very very disappointing
Works on iPhone, crashes on iPad

This is a really good app. It works really well on an iPhone but crashes immediately on opening a script on iPad. Please fix!
• A refreshed app icon brings back Selvi’s original ribbon shape in our new violet palette.
• You may now see an invitation to rate Selvi after saving three different recordings to Photos.
