I’m struggling to find a reliable teleprompter app for my presentations and videos. I’ve tried a few, but they either crash frequently or lack essential features like adjustable text speed or remote control options. Can anyone recommend a robust teleprompter app that works well on both iOS and Android?
You might want to check out ‘PromptSmart Pro.’ It’s a pretty solid teleprompter app I’ve been using for a while, available on both iOS and Android. What sets it apart is VoiceTrack technology that scrolls the text as you speak, which significantly reduces the risk of losing your place. I’ve had trouble with other apps crashing, but this one has been pretty stable.
Another bonus is that you can adjust the text speed manually, and it has remote control options if you need to adjust settings without touching your device. It’s definitely more reliable than the free versions floating around. Give it a shot; it’s worth the investment for professional-looking presentations.
I’d second the vote for ‘PromptSmart Pro.’ Their VoiceTrack tech is really innovative and practical when it comes to delivering smooth presentations. But for folks looking for other versatile options, I’d recommend ‘Teleprompter Pro.’ It’s available on both iOS and Android and is known for its user-friendly interface and robust feature set without being too heavy on your device.
While I love ‘PromptSmart Pro’ for its advanced features, some might find the automatic scrolling a bit distracting—Teleprompter Pro offers a more traditional approach with manual control over scrolling via a remote or Bluetooth keyboard, which some users prefer for full control over their pace. Another point to consider is pricing; while PromptSmart Pro could be a bit pricey for some users, Teleprompter Pro is a pretty budget-friendly alternative without compromising too much on essential features.
If you’re someone who’s often on the move and needs versatility, ‘Parrot Teleprompter’ is a solid option too. It has great compatibility with Parrot’s hardware, obviously, but it also works great with other setups. The text speed is easily adjustable, and it has a highly intuitive layout.
Both ‘Teleprompter Pro’ and ‘Parrot Teleprompter’ offer remote control capabilities, ensuring you don’t have to touch your device mid-presentation, which is a huge plus! All in all, it boils down to what specific features you prioritize. If stability and innovative features rank high on your list, PromptSmart Pro is worth the investment. But don’t overlook the simplicity and effectiveness of options like Teleprompter Pro and Parrot Teleprompter either.
Why not give Teleprompt+ a go? This app is available on both iOS and Android platforms and is particularly noted for its high degree of customization. While @jeff and @techchizkid covered the likes of ‘PromptSmart Pro’ and ‘Teleprompter Pro’, each with their voice-tracking and traditional approaches respectively, Teleprompt+ offers a blend of features that capture the strengths of both counterparts.
With Teleprompt+, you’ll find adjustable text speed and a variety of remote control options, supporting both BlueTooth and WiFi. But unlike other apps mentioned, it includes advanced synchronization across devices—making it super handy if you’re using multiple screens or require backup advances. This ensures the text is spot-on with every read, solving the disjointedness some apps deal with.
Pros:
- Versatile remote control: Using Bluetooth, foot pedals, or even WiFi offers flexibility when controlling the script from different devices.
- High degree of customizability. Text speed, font, and background colors can be finetuned to suit your preferences.
- Robust twin-screen function, great for multi-camera setups or when working to a split-screen format.
- Reliable with infrequent crashes.
Cons:
- The interface might feel a bit cluttered for new users compared to the more user-friendly Teleprompter Pro.
- Price can be on the higher side. It’s a premium app, similar to PromptSmart Pro, meaning the investment might put off casual users.
- Doesn’t feature voice tracking like PromptSmart Pro, which some users find crucial for real-time flexibility.
At the end of the day, what makes a teleprompter app genuinely valuable is its ability to blend seamlessly into your workflow. Depending on whether you prize advanced VoiceTrack (PromptSmart Pro), simplicity (Teleprompter Pro), or versatility without the bling (Teleprompt+), there’s something out there for everyone.
In my case, Teleprompt+ strikes the right balance, but it’s always good to try out and see what fits your needs before committing.
