Telepromptr review
A capable free iOS teleprompter with hardware output and flexible remote control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Telepromptr is an iPhone and iPad teleprompter for video creators, presenters, speakers, meeting participants and performers. It lets users create, paste or import scripts in Word, PDF, TXT and Markdown formats, then display them with adjustable fonts, colors, spacing and mirrored text. Portrait and landscape orientations, unlimited script length, a countdown timer and eyeline mode support a range of prompting setups. Video recording is included, so the app can combine script display and camera capture on the same iOS device.
Its strongest distinction is the connection between an iOS prompting app and external production hardware. Telepromptr supports AirPlay and HDMI output, while its listed integrations include Elgato Prompter, Glide Gear, Ikan, Datavideo, Autocue, Desview, Feelworld and Neewer. Keyboard and compatible-controller remote control also give users alternatives to tapping the screen. That combination suits people who need to move scripts from an iPhone or iPad to a larger or dedicated prompting display. Buyers with an existing compatible hardware setup should find the ecosystem fit more relevant than a standalone scrolling app.
Telepromptr is available as a free app with optional Pro in-app purchases, including an option described as available forever. The product’s focus is practical prompting rather than broader cross-platform workflow support: its platform coverage is limited to iOS, and voice tracking is not among the listed capabilities. Choose it if iPhone or iPad support, recording, remote control and AirPlay or HDMI output are central requirements. Choose an alternative if Android, desktop access or voice-led scrolling is essential, or if the prompting workflow must operate independently of Apple devices.
