Follows your voice
The highlighter glides with your words, one word ahead, and waits when you stop. No more racing a scroll speed.

Everything to say it in one take
A prompter built around how people actually read on camera: in short bursts, with pauses, sometimes off script.
Cue cards
Paste a script and split it into short cards that read in one breath. Reorder, duplicate, share.
Tap to jump back
Lost your place or improvised? Tap the word you’re on and the prompter picks up from there.
Steady scroll too
Prefer a fixed pace? Switch to steady scroll and change the speed live, during the take.
Portrait or landscape
Reels, Shorts or YouTube. Turn the phone, even mid-take: the cards follow.
Front or back camera
Film yourself, or someone else reading. Wide 0.5× and a framing grid included.
Adjust while recording
Text size, speed and pause from a small pill under the card, without stopping the take.
Read without filming
Rehearse, give a talk or read a speech with the prompter alone.
How it works
Paste your script
From Notes, a doc or ChatGPT. Or import a text file. A sample script is there to try first.
Split it into cards
One tap. Each paragraph becomes a card you can reorder; your own cuts are kept.
Hit record
Read to the lens. The text follows your voice and the take lands in Photos, sound in sync.
You lose your place mid-sentence.
Now what?
With a scrolling prompter, you chase the text or it runs away. You stop, scroll back, start over. Take seven.
SmoothCue listens instead. The text moves only when you speak, and a tap on any word puts you back on track, without stopping the recording.
The prompter follows you.
Not the other way around.

A teleprompter app for iPhone. It shows your script right under the camera, on cue cards, and records the video with the text following your voice.
How does SmoothCue follow my voice?
