Keep your talking points right under your camera while the interviewer does their thing. Your notes never show on screen share, Tellie ticks off what you covered in your own words, and when the "do you have any questions?" part comes around with no time left, Tellie already told you about it.
10 days of Tellie Pro on the house. No card, no sign-up.
How it works
What you want them to know about you. What you need to ask them. The story that answers "tell me about yourself." Paste it in. Tellie reads the structure automatically: Word, Pages, PDF, or just a paste into the prompter.
The one thing you cannot forget to say. The question you must ask before the hour runs out. Mark them with a bang and Tellie will defend them against your nerves.
Tellie runs in the background, no Dock icon, never steals focus. The interview is on Zoom or Teams or Meet, and Tellie sits above it all, invisible to everyone on the call.
Why interviews are different
macOS excludes Tellie from screen capture, so Zoom, Teams, Meet, and every other video app record what's behind it. Nobody on the call sees your notes. Not the interviewer, not the recording, not the person who gets forwarded the replay.
Nerves make you talk fast, then slow down for emphasis on the one story that matters. Other prompters scroll past you when you pause. Tellie waits for you, tracks the actual words you say, and stays with you even when you ad-lib.
Tellie has no Dock icon and never steals focus. The interview app stays front and center, keeps your keyboard, and Tellie quietly follows your voice behind it. You never switch to it. You never click anything.
The salary question. The "why us?" answer. The story about the time you fixed something nobody else could. Mark them and Tellie greens each one as you cover it, in whatever words come out on the day.
You spent 35 minutes on their questions. The "do you have any questions for us?" part is coming and you haven't raised your one real question yet. Tellie tells you by name, with time left to do something about it. Not after the call ends and you're typing "as discussed" in a follow-up email.
After the call: how fast you were talking, which points you covered and which you missed, exactly where you went off script. So the next interview is a decision, not a vibe.
What people say
I just used Tellie on my first Casting Director Zoom workshop in 13 years.
Having a teleprompter that follows my speech instead of scrolling at a fixed speed is an absolute game changer.
I now make eye contact with everyone, and connect deeper with people. I finally speak less from my notes, and more from my heart.
New in Tellie 1.5
You joined with three things to raise. Forty minutes went to their questions, the demo would not share, and now there are ninety seconds left and they're asking if you have anything else.
Mark what matters. The conversation goes wherever it goes, and Tellie keeps your list without you having to hold it in your head alongside everything else being said.
You will not deliver your answer as a speech. You will slot it into the natural pause, in whatever words come out on the day. Give Tellie a phrase you would say anyway and it counts however you got there.
Ten minutes left and your real question still unsaid? Tellie tells you, by name, while there is still room to raise it. Not as you are typing "as discussed" afterwards.
When you write the follow-up email, you are working from what was said rather than what you meant to say. Which two got covered, and which one is now next week's problem.
minutes: 45 is the invite. Tellie warns you by name when a marked item is not going to fit, so you raise it at minute thirty-five rather than remembering it at minute forty-six. The two-minute guide has the rest.
Your cheat sheet
An interview is a conversation, so skip the script entirely: expand the prompter, talk like a person, and glance at what is still amber. Answer four questions below and take the sheet with you.
Every point ticks itself off when you say its phrase, in whatever words the moment gives you. Nothing you type here leaves this page. See a checklist that listens, ready to send to Tellie.
Everything on this page is switched on for your first 10 days. No card, no sign-up, nothing to cancel. Take it into the interview you have been dreading and see how it goes.
After that Tellie stays a complete teleprompter, free, and Pro is $29 once if you want to keep the rest.
No. macOS excludes Tellie's window from screen capture, so Zoom, Teams, Meet and every other video app record what is behind it. Nothing to opt out of on their end because they are never told about it. An opt-in visible mode exists for demos, and resets when you quit.
Yes, all of them. Tellie is not integrated with any meeting app. It sits above whatever is on screen and stays out of every capture. Nothing to reconfigure when your company changes platforms or the interview moves from Zoom to Teams mid-process.
At the notch, which is where your camera already is. A prompter in the middle of the screen pulls your eyes down and the interviewer sees you reading. On a Mac without a notch, the strip sits in the same place along the top edge.
No. Speech recognition runs on your Mac, and the script never leaves it: not the file you opened, not a paste, not a Send to Tellie. Route by route on the privacy page.
That is the whole point. Tellie tracks the words you actually say, not a speed you have to match. Pause for emphasis, restart a sentence, or answer in your own words, and it stays right with you. Mark the points that matter and Tellie confirms you covered them, however they come out.
Tellie is a teleprompter that follows you. It does not feed you answers or read the interviewer's screen. What it does is keep your notes private, help you stay organized during a conversation that moves fast, and make sure the things you prepared actually get said. That is not cheating. That is preparation.
