A teleprompter app has one job: let you read your script while looking into the lens, so your delivery feels like a conversation instead of a recitation. But most apps stop at scrolling text. If you publish on TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube, you also need the recording and the edit to happen in the same place — otherwise you're juggling three apps per video.
Before you install anything, check for four things:
- Script over the camera, not beside it. If the text sits far from the lens, your eyes drift and viewers notice.
- Voice-controlled scrolling. Fixed-speed scrolling forces you to match the app. A voice-activated teleprompter follows you — it pauses when you breathe and speeds up when you do.
- Real recording quality. HDR, adjustable resolution and frame rate, front and back camera.
- Built-in trim and social crop. 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 exports without leaving the app.
Cuecast was built around exactly this checklist — it's a teleprompter, camera and editor in one iOS app.
How to do it with Cuecast
- Download Cuecast. It's free on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 17+). No account required to start.
- Write or paste your script. Open the Scripts tab, tap +, and drop in your script. Add cue markers like [BREATH] where you want a beat.
- Record with the on-lens prompter. Hit the red record button. Your script scrolls right over the camera preview — turn on Voice Scroll and it follows your speech automatically.
- Trim, crop, export. Cut hesitations on the timeline, auto-remove silent gaps, crop to any social format and save to Photos.
Pro tip: keep your script column narrow and near the top of the screen — the closer the words are to the front camera, the more your reading reads as eye contact.
