1. Apple Pages – inbuilt teleprompter for iPad

Pages app actually has a hidden teleprompter mode. All you need to do is open your script on the Pages app. Then, tap on options found on the top right portion and select presenter mode. Though this is not considered as a replacement for a teleprompter, you could scroll your script manually next to your camera.

2. Parrot Teleprompter

This teleprompter is simple to use. Just like what its name indicates, it is an app that lets you read your entire script in front of the camera like a bird. It has the ability to mirror, customize the speed and size and even loop your entire script. Aside from that, you could also change the background and font color. Furthermore, Parrot teleprompter makes it easier for you not to get lost as it will show your position on the script through a highlighter mark.

Parrot allows you to connect to your Dropbox account to import your scripts as well. The only downside of this app is just like Pages, you will be able to control it only manually.

3. PromptSmart Lite

This app comes with basic features of teleprompter. It has different text customization, background and mirror mode. It also comes with a VoiceTrack which it would automatically scroll

your script as you read it aloud. What is amazing about this function is that even if you go off the script, it will let you catch up with the text on the screen. Furthermore, you do not need to be connected to the internet to use this VoiceTrack function.

Though this app is free to use, for more features, you will have to spend about $20 for its pro version.

4. OnCue Teleprompter app with Remote Control

If you are one of those who needs control, OnCue teleprompter is your best bet. It allows you to control it through the traditional remote control feature. Hence, when using this app, you will need two devices. One device to work as a server while the other one as the client.

OnCue teleprompter comes with a Rich text editor which allows you to change fonts and adjust the size. You could also use emotion cues through changing the colors of the words.

Then, you will assign time and emotion to each line. This will ensure your visual cues to guide you all throughout your scene. Use your iPad camera to record your video. Once you are done with your recording, watch it and finalize it. This app is offered for free and for its premium version for $2.

A Real Teleprompter

We recommend Glide Gear TMP100 . This product is light and it is compatible with most cameras. Its glass offers a 70/30 standard beam split glass which ensures that your camera will not be able to record any texts. Furthermore, with Glide Gear TMP100, you do not need to worry about assembling.
