Smooth Scroll Teleprompter for iPad
Promptr is a teleprompter app for iPad that delivers smooth, controllable text scrolling synchronised with video recording. Adjust scroll speed on the fly, use a Bluetooth remote, or let the app handle pacing while you focus on delivery.
How the Smooth Scroll Works
Promptr's scroll mechanic is designed for natural reading. You control the speed manually using on-screen controls, a Bluetooth remote, or by tapping to advance line by line. Unlike basic text scrollers, the scroll is built into a full video recording workflow, so your script stays visible while the camera captures everything. The speed is adjustable in real time, which means if you stumble or need a beat, you can slow down or pause without stopping the recording.
Why iPad Is Ideal for This
iPad's larger screen makes reading easier during recording, and Promptr's interface is optimised for the tablet format. You can position your device at eye level or mount it for over-the-shoulder recording. The app supports mirror mode for use with external cameras mounted above or beside your iPad, and Bluetooth remote support means you're not tethered to the screen while presenting.
Built-In Video Recording
The core difference between Promptr and a simple teleprompter is integration. You script, scroll, and record in one app. The video captures your face and voice, and the script stays on your device as a reference layer only the presenter sees. This workflow eliminates the need to start and stop recording manually or juggle separate apps. Free tier users get basic recording; Pro tier removes watermarks and extends recording length limits.
Script Creation with AI
Promptr includes an AI script writing assistant for creators who need to generate or refine content quickly. Describe your topic or paste rough notes, and the tool helps shape a readable script. You can then adjust scroll speed to match your pacing. Pro tier unlocks advanced writing features and longer sessions for podcast hosts, lecturers, and YouTube creators.
Who Uses Promptr
Content creators, YouTubers, podcast hosts, preachers, and public speakers rely on Promptr to deliver polished takes without memorisation. The smooth scroll removes the distraction of managing separate teleprompter hardware or wrestling with awkward setups. Whether you're recording a one-off video or producing regular content, the iPad format and flexible controls adapt to your style.
Getting Started
Download Promptr free on iPad, create or paste a script, and start recording. Test the scroll speed with a short clip first to find your rhythm. If you're recording longer content or want to remove the watermark, upgrade to Pro. The app works offline, so you're not dependent on connectivity during recording sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I adjust scroll speed while recording?
Yes. Promptr lets you change scroll speed in real time, so you can slow down if you stumble or speed up if you're on a roll. No need to stop recording or start over.
Do I need a Bluetooth remote to use Promptr?
No, but a remote is helpful. You can control scroll speed with on-screen buttons or tap to advance line by line. A Bluetooth remote simply gives you hands-free control during recording.
Does Promptr work with external cameras?
Promptr records video with your iPad's built-in camera. Mirror mode is designed for rigs where your iPad sits above or beside an external camera, so you can see the script while your external device captures the shot.
What's the difference between free and Pro?
Free tier includes basic recording, script creation, and smooth scroll. Pro removes watermarks, extends recording limits, and unlocks advanced AI writing features for longer sessions.
Can I use Promptr on iPhone?
Yes, Promptr works on both iPhone and iPad. iPad offers a larger screen, but iPhone is portable and works for shorter recordings or TikTok / Shorts style content.
Does Promptr save my scripts?
Yes. Scripts are stored in the app so you can reuse them, edit them, or record multiple takes. Recorded videos are saved to your camera roll for editing or upload.
