Why
Built for podcasts and video conversations
Most teleprompter apps are made for one person reading a script. In a podcast you talk with someone, take turns and want room to improvise.
Two screens, one script
The phone in the prompter only shows text. You control it from your laptop, a tablet or a second phone. Everything stays in sync, live.
The text follows you
Pick a fixed speed, or let the Prompter listen along. Speak faster and the text keeps up. Stop, and it stops too.
Room for the conversation
Conversation blocks with key points and a clock, flashcards with questions, and a colour per speaker. You always know whose turn it is.
Features
Everything you need on set
Easy on the eyes
Font size, line width, colours, reading line and mirroring. Set the line width in characters so your eyes stay still and viewers don't notice a thing.
Voice follow
The microphone listens along and the text moves at your pace. Go off script for a moment and it waits until you're back on the text.
Conversation blocks
Key points and questions per topic, with a clock that turns red when you go over your target time. Tick off points from the control screen.
Flashcards
One question or keyword, big on screen. Perfect for interviews: look at your guest and see the next question at a glance.
Co-hosts in colour
Add ==> host 2 to your script and each speaker gets their own colour. Switch who's speaking live from the control screen.
Remote, gamepad or Stream Deck
Bluetooth prompter remotes and gamepads work right away. For your Stream Deck, download a ready-made profile with keys in this style.
Recording and pace
Recording light and running time on screen, markers at the press of a button, and afterwards your pace per minute and time per block. Connect OBS and recording starts and stops along.
Your script, wherever it lives
Upload a text file, paste your text or fetch it with a share link from Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.
Private, no account
Your scripts are encrypted on your own device. We can't read them. No email address, no password.
The control screen
Everything under control from your laptop or tablet
The control screen shows live what the prompter shows. Pick the script, set up the display and run the recording.
- Start, pause, back 5 seconds, jump to any point
- Switch between scrolling text, conversation blocks and flashcards
- Choose live who's speaking
Conversation blocks
Talk freely without losing the thread
Interviews and conversations don't need a script to read, but they do need a backbone. Each block shows the key points, the next question and how much time you have left.
- Write
## Topic | 4:00and the clock runs along - The clock turns red when you go over your target time
- Tick off what you've covered
On your phone too

- Pair with a 6-character code or a QR code
- Works in Chrome, Safari and Edge, on phone, tablet, laptop and TV

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Prompter cost?
For Podcastcentrale clients the Prompter is free for now. Not a client yet? Request free access with the form above.
Do I need a teleprompter rig?
A prompter rig with beam-splitter glass that holds a phone or tablet works best. Without a rig works too: put a tablet or laptop right below or next to the camera and set a narrow line width.
Which devices work?
Anything with a modern browser: Chrome, Safari and Edge on phone, tablet, laptop or TV. Nothing to install. Voice follow works best in Chrome and Safari.
Where are my scripts stored, and who can read them?
Your scripts are encrypted on your own device before they're saved. Only devices with your show's secret key can read them; we can't. So keep your backup or studio link safe.
Can I work with a co-host or guest?
Yes. Put ==> host 1, ==> host 2 or a name above each speaker's text. Each speaker gets their own colour. As a background colour it stays very dark, so the prompter doesn't cast coloured light on your face.
Does it work with my Stream Deck or remote?
Yes. Bluetooth prompter remotes in keyboard mode and gamepads work right away. For the Stream Deck, download a profile from the control screen; the keys work without a plugin.
Is the Prompter available in Dutch?
Yes, the Prompter is fully available in English and Dutch. Switch with the NL/EN button. Voice follow listens in the language you choose.
