Autocue Teleprompter — Free for Mac
Looking for an autocue teleprompter that doesn't require expensive hardware or a dedicated operator? Teleprompter for Mac turns your screen into a professional autocue system. AI voice tracking listens to your speech and scrolls the script in real time — just like a broadcast autocue, but entirely in software.
See It in Action
Autocue teleprompters have been the backbone of professional broadcasting for decades. News anchors, politicians, and corporate presenters rely on autocue systems to deliver scripted content while maintaining eye contact with the camera. Traditionally, this required expensive hardware — a beam-splitter mirror, a dedicated monitor, and often a human operator controlling the scroll speed.
Software has changed the game entirely. A native Mac app can replicate the core autocue experience using your existing screen and Apple's on-device speech recognition. Instead of a human operator adjusting scroll speed, AI tracks your voice and moves the text automatically. The floating panel sits on top of any app — FaceTime, Zoom, OBS — giving you broadcast-quality autocue functionality at zero cost.

Tips from Creators
If you're used to hardware autocue systems, you'll find the voice tracking more flexible than fixed-speed scrolling.
Position the autocue panel as close to your camera lens as possible — this is the same principle as a beam-splitter mirror.
For broadcast-quality delivery, practice your script once with the autocue before going on camera.
