Keep your lesson plan in the notch while you teach. Go off on a tangent, take a question, then pick up right where you left off. Voice Follow waits for you and follows the moment you return to the script. Now it minds your list too: the points on the assessment get covered before the bell wins.
10 days of Tellie Pro on the house. No card, no sign-up.
How it works
Load your lesson, start teaching, and improvise without losing your place.
Open your notes as text, Markdown, Word, PDF, or Apple Pages. The prompter sits at the notch, above your camera or your room.
On camera for an online class, or in the room with your laptop, the notch keeps your plan in view without a podium full of paper.
Take a question, riff on a point, then come back. Voice Follow waits while you wander and picks up when you return to the script.
Why educators use it
Voice Follow follows the words you say, not a clock. Answer a question, go on a tangent, and it holds your place until you come back to the plan.
Your plan sits up by the lens, so your students get your eyes and your energy, not the top of your head bent over notes.
Recording the lecture for the LMS? The notch is excluded from screen recording, so your notes never end up in the upload.
Lecture notes, a slide outline, a reading, a full script. Load text, Markdown, Word, PDF, or Pages and start, no special format required.
Mark what the class will be tested on, follow the good tangent anyway, and Tellie warns you before the bell beats the point. Part of Tellie Pro, switched on for your first 10 days.
What people say
When I'm teaching, I'll frequently add stuff or comment, and Tellie is tolerant of my saying bunches of words that aren't the next line without advancing. The virtue of Tellie for me lies in my not having to control it.
My wife is recording an online course with a 200 page script. She is not very tech-savvy, but she can send whatever she wants from her Pages document straight to the prompter with a single button. Absolutely amazing.

You planned six things. They asked about three others, one of which was genuinely better than what you had prepared, and now there are four minutes left and you cannot remember which two you never got to.
Mark the things that are actually on the assessment. Follow the good tangent anyway. Tellie is quietly keeping the list, so the bell is not the thing that tells you what you missed.
You will explain it differently to the class that got it and the class that did not. Give each point a phrase you would use either way, and it counts however you got there.
Ten minutes left and the thing they are actually tested on still not covered? Tellie says so, by name, while you can still do something other than assign it as reading.
A quiet record of which points you covered and where the lesson went instead. Useful the next time you teach it, and useful when someone asks why the pacing slipped.
minutes: 50 is the period. Tellie learns your pace in the first few minutes and tells you, by name, when a marked section is not going to fit, while you can still do something about it. The two-minute guide has the rest.
Everything on this page is switched on for your first 10 days. No card, no sign-up, nothing to cancel. Take it into a real class, the one that always overruns, and see.
After that Tellie stays a complete teleprompter, free, and Pro is $29 once if you want to keep the rest.
No. Tellie stays out of screen sharing and screen recording, so a class watching your shared desktop sees the slide, not your notes. The same applies to a lecture you record for later.
That is where it earns its place. Mark the two or three things the lesson has to land, and teach the rest however the room goes. Tellie tracks what you have covered and tells you if a marked point is about to run out of time. A ready-made lesson script shows the marks in place.
Nothing. No account, no cloud, no recording of the room. Speech recognition happens on your Mac and the audio is not kept. Your lesson plan stays in the file you opened. Detail on the privacy page.
