The patented Parrot Pro Teleprompter is the worlds most portable and affordable teleprompter! Use it in your home studio or take it anywhere you need to film your next video. If you have ever tried to memorize lines for a video, then you know how challenging it can be.
Teleprompters display a script in front of the camera so the actor can read their lines and maintain eye contact with the audience.
Until now teleprompters have been reserved for large budget productions often costing thousands of dollars each. The Parrot Pro teleprompter is a professional quality teleprompter at an affordable price that still delivers a professional quality experience.
Combined with virtually any smartphone, the Parrot Pro Teleprompter will take any script and scroll it in front of you so you no longer need to worry about what to say on camera. It's innovative design removes all the unnecessary components which allows you to mount the Parrot teleprompter directly to a standard DSLR or digital camcorder lens, or mount to any support with a standard 1/4-20 thread. It's compact size makes it easy to throw in your camera bag and take it wherever you go for your next interview, on location news report, documentary, video blog, podcast, corporate video, video tutorial, or speech.

Ratings and Reviews
Be aware of an annoying “feature”
If you get the Padcaster with the remote, this software includes an annoying feature (as of v3.0.8) that can cause an iPhone on-screen keyboard to go into hiding if the Bluetooth remote is connected… for ALL APPS!
I think it might have something to do with the Bluetooth remote making the iPhone think that a keyboard is connected, but my experience with the problem has been intermittent.
Two fixes that I am aware of to get the on-screen keyboard to come back:
1. Restart your iPhone… PIA!
2. Cycle Bluetooth off .. less annoying.
Other than that, it’s OK.
Keyboard Disappearing during/after use.
I wholeheartedly believe in this company, as I purchased the Kickstarter Teleprompter and noticed that it came with this app, which was very convenient. I’m giving us a one star review due to the fact of the massive inconvenience that I have to go through by turning off and on my phone. Sometimes I need to edit something in the middle of recording, and when I stop to go back into the app to fix a word, the keyboard goes unavailable for all apps… at first, I thought it was a glitch so I looked for updates and sure enough nothing has changed.
I know the company has worked very hard at developing their Teleprompter, but they need to put equal amount of work into their app. I do like the app and the convenience, especially with the remote however this is beyond annoying and I really hope that they get to fixing this as soon as possible with a nice update…
I use my Teleprompter weekly for my real estate videos and my self motivational videos and time is money so Parrett needs to get their stuff together please so I can continue enjoying their products. I will update my review when this gets fixed.
What happened?
Update: the good people behind this app actually took the time to ask what the issues I was having were. Whether it was my feedback or someone else’s, the app is working wonderfully, again. I use it and the remote with my iPhone integrated with Dropbox and it works like a charm. Best phone-based teleprompter app I’ve used.
Developer Response ,
