Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CueCast Prompter is desktop teleprompting software from Hope Techworks for broadcast and media production teams. It combines smooth scrolling, rich-text script editing, full-screen prompting, timers, messages, document import, PDF script export, and controller support. The software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it suitable for teams that need a cross-platform prompting tool for local production systems. Its free plan covers basic prompting, script editing, full-screen prompting on a local display, USB controllers, document import, and PDF export.
The pricing structure is straightforward at the feature level. The Free plan supports core prompting without a time limit. Pro features have a 30-day trial, while the Pro licence price requires an enquiry. Pro adds advanced timers, NDI and Blackmagic output, SlideSync, IP-based remote control, unlimited remote extenders, and timer-based triggers. That makes the free tier useful for basic desktop prompting, while the paid tier is aimed at productions requiring more control, output routing, and automation.
CueCast Prompter fits workflows built around presentation and broadcast tools. It imports Word, PowerPoint, and OpenOffice documents and integrates with Microsoft PowerPoint, Renewed Vision ProPresenter, Ross Video XPression, NewTek NDI, and Blackmagic Design devices. SlideSync connects prompting with presentation software, while IP-based remote control and optional remote extenders support distributed operation. Choose it for free, desktop-focused prompting across major operating systems or for production workflows needing NDI, Blackmagic, and presentation synchronization. Teams seeking voice tracking, recording, or broader mobile coverage should consider an alternative.
