QPrompt review
A capable free teleprompter for multi-screen prompting, with no voice tracking or recording.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
QPrompt is free, open-source teleprompter software for event teleprompter operators, video creators, and individuals or small teams. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with script editing, formatted text import, adjustable reading areas, semi-transparent prompting backgrounds, and multi-screen output. Accessibility options include OpenDyslexic and reading guides, while customizable keyboard shortcuts support operator workflows.
The published Free plan costs $0 USD and is GPLv3 licensed, with commercial use permitted. QPrompt’s platform coverage spans desktop operating systems and Android, although Android is represented by an older QPrompt 1.1.2 build rather than the current stable release. Its ecosystem connections include KDE Connect for remote control and LibreOffice for formatted text workflows. Keyboard-emulating devices can also control prompting, giving operators several ways to manage scripts without relying on a dedicated remote integration.
QPrompt’s strongest area is the depth of its prompting controls. Named and unnamed script markers, a built-in script chronometer, reading-area adjustments for camera eye contact, transparent backgrounds, and multi-screen prompting cover the core needs of live event and video workflows. It is less suited to buyers who need voice tracking, recording, or verified team features. Choose QPrompt when free, open-source software, commercial permission, accessibility options, and multi-screen output matter most; choose an alternative when automated voice following or built-in recording is central to the workflow.
