Your script scrolls in a narrow column right under the camera and keeps pace as you talk — pause, and it waits. Speech recognition runs on the device. Every take is kept as its own clip.
# Intro
Hi, I’m Sam. Today:
three quick tips for
filming yourself at home.
First, put the light
in front of you.
Features
Talkzy doesn’t try to win on AI features. It gets the basics solid: the text keeps up with you, every take is kept, your setup is remembered, and the price is fair.
Talk at your own pace and the text keeps up; pause and it waits. Talkzy matches what you say against your own script, so an ad-lib or a skipped line doesn’t throw it off — and in a noisy room it keeps your pace instead of freezing.
The script runs in a narrow column next to the front camera, so your eyes stay on your viewers. Set the speed in words per minute, the text size, the margins and the reading line.
Each take is its own file, named after your script, listed with a still and its length, and can go straight into an album in Photos. Retake from where you stopped or from the start of the section.
Talkzy killed, crashed or out of battery mid-take? The next launch reads the file back and adds the take to your list, marked Recovered. At most the last ~2 seconds are lost.
Whoever gets it reads it in their browser with a web teleprompter — no app needed; anyone with Talkzy can add it to the app. The script travels inside the link and is never uploaded. Free.
Try the web teleprompterThe prompter shows the time left and an end card when the script runs out. On iPhone, a light tap marks a take starting and stopping, the countdown and a section jump.
Full-screen text for a second device or a beam-splitter rig. Mirror left–right and upside down, very large type, and the screen stays awake.
A line starting with # begins a section — one per product. Jump between sections and loop the script for a long live.
Bluetooth keyboards, page-turners and ring remotes; with the camera open, the volume buttons and Camera Control start and stop a take. Free, always.
Speed, font, margins, mirror, mode and position are kept per script; camera, frame rate and mic are kept per device.
The free version is a complete teleprompter. Pro is yearly, monthly or a one-time Lifetime — never a weekly plan.
No account, no ads, no tracking across apps. Your scripts and videos stay on your device.
No account, and no connection needed to read and record.
Paste, type, or import a .txt, .md or .rtf file. Start a line with # to split it into sections. Talkzy estimates the read time at your speed.
Follow your voice, a fixed speed, or only when you drag or press a remote. Set the text size, margins and countdown.
Record with the front or back camera, or use prompter-only mode next to your livestream phone. Every take becomes its own clip.
Inside the app
Every image below is a capture of the running app (and of the web teleprompter in Safari), with a sample script.
01/Send as link
From a script’s menu or the link button in the editor. Before you share, Talkzy says plainly who can read it and what is sent.
02/Web teleprompter
The link opens a teleprompter right in the browser. The text runs at the speed you set, with the time left and an end card. On iPhone and iPad, a button opens the script in Talkzy.
03/Prompter
While you read, Talkzy shows the time left at your speed. When the script runs out, an end card offers to read it again from the top — or to stop recording during a take.
04/Takes
Talkzy writes every take in 2-second pieces. If the app is killed, crashes or the battery dies while you record, the next launch reads the file back and adds the take to the script’s list.
Privacy
Talkzy has no server of its own. The speech recognition that scrolls your script runs on the device, and the videos you record live in the app or in your Photos — there is no upload step. Only anonymous usage statistics leave the phone, and you can turn them off.
Talkzy uses only Apple’s on-device recognizers. Audio is never sent to a server, even when a connection is available.
The camera and microphone are on only while the recording screen or voice-follow is open. Videos are saved on the device, and to Photos if you allow it.
No sign-up, no email, no password.
No advertising SDK and no advertising identifier. Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase) help us improve the app — turn them off in Settings. Purchase data goes through RevenueCat.
The big teleprompter apps charge $60–140 a year, often billed weekly. Talkzy is free for everything a teleprompter needs, and Pro costs a fraction of that.

No. Talkzy uses only Apple’s on-device speech recognition and never sends audio to a server. It is in beta: it works best with a clear voice and a close mic, and when the room is too noisy it scrolls at your pace instead of freezing.
Put a second iPhone or iPad next to your live phone and open prompter-only mode. Write each product as a section starting with #, jump between sections with a page-turner or keyboard, and loop the script for a long live. Talkzy doesn’t stream itself — it is the prompter beside your stream.
A complete teleprompter: unlimited scripts, timed and manual scroll, mirror, remotes, prompter-only mode and 1080p recording, with no watermark. Voice-follow is free for 3 takes a day. Pro unlocks the rest.
Neither. The 3 free voice-follow takes a day let you try the main feature without a surprise charge. Yearly and Monthly renew until you cancel; Lifetime is a single payment.
Each take is its own file in Talkzy, listed per script. If you turn it on, it is also saved to an album named after the script in Photos. Deleting a take in Talkzy leaves the copy in Photos.
The take is still there. Talkzy writes it in 2-second pieces as you record, so if the app is killed, crashes or the battery dies, the next launch reads the file back and adds the take to your list, marked Recovered. At most the last ~2 seconds are lost.
No. The link opens a teleprompter in their browser that runs at a set speed. If they have Talkzy on iPhone or iPad, they can add the script to the app — only when they choose Add. The script travels inside the link, so it is not uploaded to this website or anywhere else; anyone with the link can read it, so send it only to people you mean to.
Yes. Prompter-only mode mirrors left–right and upside down, with a black background, very large white or yellow text, and control from a Bluetooth keyboard or page-turner. Mirror and remotes are free.
An iPhone or iPad on iOS 17 or later. 4K and 60 fps depend on your device’s camera.
