Most teleprompters force you to read at their pace. Tellie tracks the actual words you say, so you can pause, ad-lib, and play the moment, and it keeps pace with you. Invisible to your self-tape and your casting Zoom.
How it works
Load your sides, look at the lens, and play the scene. Tellie does the keeping-up.
Open your script as text, Markdown, Word, PDF, or Apple Pages. The prompter pops out at the notch, sized to read from a few feet back.
The words sit right under your camera, so your eye line stays on the reader, not down at a phone taped below the laptop.
Turn on Voice Follow and act. Tellie listens, follows your actual words, and waits when you take a beat. No remote, no reader, no robotic scroll.
Why actors use it
Voice Follow tracks the words you actually say, not a fixed scroll speed. Pause for a beat, paraphrase, ad-lib, or skip a line, and Tellie keeps pace instead of running away from you.
The notch is excluded from screen recording, Zoom, and screenshots. The casting director sees you in the moment, never your eyes scanning a script.
Your sides live at the top of the screen, right beside the camera. Your eye contact stays true, no glancing down and breaking the take.
Serif, sans, ALL CAPS, and support for the free OpenDyslexic font for actors who read better with it. Drop the opacity, resize it, float it anywhere, and let the words disappear into the scene.
From working actors
I just used Tellie on my first Casting Director Zoom workshop in 13 years.
It truly is a magnificent app.
Tellie is free to download and use as a teleprompter. Voice Follow, the part that follows your performance, plus multi-take rewind for running the scene again, come with Tellie Pro. One price, one time.
