Teleprompter that reads aloud
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
iPhone Duo support — the whole app, in every pose!
Folded or open, portrait or landscape, the text fills the screen and the controls move into the side strip, clear of the clock and the Dynamic Island. Open the fold mid-talk and it keeps your place.
NEW ON IPHONE DUO
Keep Alive holds the screen on while you listen, so a long talk doesn’t go dark in your hand.
DELETING NOTES
Delete notes now has its own place in the menu — select several and remove them together. Swiping a note still works.
ALSO FIXED
Long notes stay visible at the largest text sizes, including with Bold Text and Larger Text turned on
Scrubbing backwards while listening keeps the timer and the text moving, in the app and from CarPlay
Scrubbing no longer switches voice follow off
