The Best Teleprompter for Mac
Looking for a teleprompter that runs natively on your Mac? Telepront is built specifically for macOS — no browser tabs, no Electron wrappers. It uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to follow your voice and scroll your script in a floating overlay.

Most teleprompter apps on Mac are just web apps wrapped in a browser window. They drain your battery, lag during recordings, and can't float over native apps properly. A native macOS teleprompter uses Apple's own frameworks for speech recognition and window management, which means lower latency and tighter integration with your workflow.
Teleprompter for Mac was built in Swift specifically for macOS. It uses Apple's on-device speech recognition — your audio never leaves your machine. The floating panel works as a native macOS overlay, so it stays on top of FaceTime, Zoom, OBS, or any app without flickering or z-order issues.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Install from the Mac App Store
Search 'Teleprompter' or use the direct link — it's free with no account required.
Paste your script
Copy your text from any source — Google Docs, Notes, a text file — and paste it into the editor.
Adjust your settings
Set font size based on your distance from the screen, and choose how many words to highlight ahead.
Position the overlay
Drag the floating panel near your camera lens so your eye line stays natural during recording.
Tips from Creators
Place the teleprompter panel as close to your camera lens as possible to minimize eye movement.
Use a larger font size if you're more than an arm's length from your screen — readability beats fitting more text.
Do a 30-second test run before recording to make sure speech recognition is picking up your voice cleanly.
