TellieTeleprompter for Producers PRO The prompter that follows your talent.
Put a Mac in your beam-splitter rig and Tellie follows the talent’s voice, so nobody matches scroll speed by hand. Mark the lines they have to read verbatim, set the segment time, and revise the script from your machine between takes. No operator, no prompter rental, no rig software.
Tellie Pro free for 10 days. No account, no card.
Watch it follow a live read.
Your talent's mandatories, checked off as they hit them, with a warning the moment one is at risk of getting cut.
How it works on set
Your rig, minus the operator.
- Mark the mandatoriesThe sponsor read, the CTA, the promo code, the legal line. Set the segment time while you’re there.
- RollTellie follows the talent’s voice and scrolls to match. Nobody rides the speed.
- See what landedEach mandatory turns green as it’s covered, with a heads-up if the segment is about to run long.
Why it’s different
Everything the op did, plus what they couldn’t.
- Your mandatories, checkedEach verbatim line turns green the moment the talent covers it, so you know it landed in the take, not in the edit.
- Their voice, not a robot readEverything else is theirs to ad-lib. Tellie tracks whether the point got made, even in their own words.
- On time, every takeSet the segment length. Tellie back-times against the talent’s real pace and flags them in time to tighten.
- Change the script up to the rollPoint Tellie at a shared script file. Revise it from your machine and the talent’s prompter updates between takes.
No operator PRO
The op used to match their pace. Now the software does.
Voice Follow reads along with the talent and scrolls to the words they actually say. They speed up, slow down or ad-lib a sentence, and the line stays under the lens.
Companion PRO
Watch the talent’s script from your own chair.
Open Tellie’s Companion link on a phone or iPad on the same Wi-Fi and follow along live: a status readout, a checklist of the mandatories as they land, or the full prompter in step with the talent’s Mac. Hand it to a PA and they can drive.
“Tellie truly is a magnificent app.”
“I tried ten teleprompter apps, Tellie is the only one that just works.”
“I just used Tellie on my first Casting Director Zoom workshop in 13 years.”
Producer questions
More in Help, or email Steve at steve@skytech.io. He answers every message himself.
Does it replace the prompter operator?
For pacing, yes. Voice Follow tracks the words the talent actually says and scrolls to match, so nobody rides the speed or guesses their pace. You still run the shoot; you just don't need a person dedicated to the prompter.
Will it work in my beam-splitter rig?
Yes. Turn on Mirror text (Settings, Appearance) and Tellie flips the script for reflective teleprompter glass while the controls stay upright. It is already running in the field in a Neewer beam-splitter. A one-switch full blackout behind the text is in the works; today you set a black background and size the window into the rig.
How does the "read verbatim" tracking work?
You mark the mandatories: the sponsor read, the CTA, the promo code, the legal line. Each turns green the moment the talent covers it, so you can see the required copy landed in the take. Everything unmarked is theirs to ad-lib, and Tellie still tracks whether the point got made even in their own words.
How do last-minute script changes reach the talent?
Point Tellie at a shared script file (a synced folder like Dropbox or iCloud works). Turn on "Watch script file for live updates," and when you revise the file from your machine, the talent's prompter reloads to the new draft between takes. One file, always current.
Is any of this sent anywhere?
No. The script stays on the Mac and speech recognition is on-device, so nothing about the take leaves the room. The privacy page has the full list.
