A free teleprompter app that actually records
Download it, paste a script, and record with the words near the lens. No account or sign-up; the free version includes two scripts and a small watermark on exported videos.
By Prompter · Updated
Prompter’s free version lets you record video while reading a scrolling script. You can check the workflow with your own text before deciding whether you need unlimited saved scripts or exports without the Prompter watermark.
Here is exactly what you get without paying, and the two things a paid plan changes. No surprises once you are mid-take.
What you get for free
In the free version, you can:
- Record video with the script scrolling over the live camera view.
- Use the front or the back camera.
- Set any scroll speed from 0.5× to 2×, and change it mid-take.
- Size the text anywhere from 24 to 120 pt, in any of five typefaces.
- Switch between three high-contrast themes for bright or busy shots.
- Use a 3, 5 or 10 second countdown before recording starts.
- Rehearse with no camera — run the script as a plain teleprompter.
- Keep up to two saved scripts on the device.
Before a long recording, make a short test take and check your available storage and battery. Save an exported copy of any take you want to keep.
What Prompter Pro changes
Two things, and only two. Prompter Pro removes the small watermark from exported videos and lifts the two-script cap so you can save as many as you like. Everything about how the teleprompter behaves is identical on both.
Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Available plans and the price for your region are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase.

| Watermark on exports | Small | None |
On-device scripts, no account required
No account is required to start writing, rehearsing or recording. Prompter stores scripts and recordings on your device rather than uploading them to a cloud account. Save or share any recordings you want to keep before deleting the app.
That is also why it opens straight into a usable state: you are not creating a profile before you can read your first line.
Check the complete workflow before you choose
When comparing free apps, test more than the scrolling screen. Record a short clip, play it back and export it. Check the script allowance, whether the saved video has a watermark, and the purchase terms for any feature you need.
With Prompter, the free version includes up to two scripts and adds a small watermark to exports. Pro removes the watermark and unlocks unlimited scripts.
Questions
Is the teleprompter really free to use?
Yes. Recording video with the script scrolling over the camera is free, on both the front and back camera, at every speed and font size. The free version keeps up to two saved scripts and adds a small watermark to exported videos; Prompter Pro removes both.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can write, rehearse and record without creating an account. Your scripts and recordings are stored on your device rather than uploaded to a cloud account.
What should I check before a long recording?
Make a short test recording, confirm that the picture and sound are right, and check available storage and battery. Review and export the finished take before relying on it for publication.
How do I remove the watermark?
Prompter Pro removes the watermark from exported videos and unlocks unlimited scripts. It is an auto-renewing subscription; available options and regional pricing appear in the app before purchase.
