For presenters, speakers & creators

Read your script. Keep your eyes on the lens.

A quiet, focused teleprompter for your desktop. Smooth scroll, one highlighted line to follow, and a window that floats over everything else.

Built for the moment you go live

Everything you need, nothing that pulls focus.

Designed around one idea: you should always know exactly which line to read next — without anyone noticing you're reading.

One line in focus

The line you should be reading glows in amber at the center. Everything else fades back, so your eyes never hunt.

Pixel-smooth scroll

Continuous motion, not line-by-line jumps. Nudge the speed with the arrow keys while you talk.

Floats over your slides

Transparent, frameless, always on top — at three levels. Park it over your deck or right under the webcam.

Click-through & mirror

Let the mouse pass straight through to the app underneath, or flip the text for a beam-splitter rig.

A studio of controls

Speed, size, weight, line height, tracking, text and highlight colour, backdrop and opacity — remembered next launch.

Offline dictation

Speak your script into the editor in Spanish or English. Recognition runs on your machine — no cloud, no account.

01 · Write

A calm editor for your script.

Open a .txt or .md, or start fresh. Word count and reading time update as you type, and Ctrl S saves right back to the file.

02 · Go on air

Hit Space. A countdown, then you're live.

Newsreader, an editorial serif built for reading at distance, moves you forward without drawing attention to itself. A glowing rail on the right shows how far along you are.

03 · Tune

Dial it in without stopping.

Press H for the studio panel. Change speed, scale and surface on the fly — every setting, plus the window's size and position, is there when you come back.

Dictation

Say it once. Then read it back.

Press Ctrl D in the editor and talk. Words appear at the cursor as a live preview and settle in when you pause.

Hands on the keyboard

Drive it without looking.

Global shortcuts work even when another app has focus.
