Load your script, look at the lens, and talk like a person. Tellie follows your words so you never break eye contact to find your place. Made for YouTube, online courses, and anything you record to camera. And now it keeps score: mark the beats you owe, and they tick off as you say them, however you phrase them.
10 days of Tellie Pro on the house. No card, no sign-up.
How it works
Load your script, hit record, and just talk. Tellie keeps your place.
Open it as text, Markdown, Word, PDF, or Apple Pages. The prompter pops out right under your webcam or camera.
Start your camera or screen recorder. The notch is excluded from capture, so it never shows up in the footage.
Voice Follow tracks your words and keeps pace. Pause for emphasis, restart a line, or riff, and it stays right with you.
Why creators use it
Your script sits right beside the camera, so you look straight down the barrel instead of off to a side monitor. Viewers feel you talking to them.
Voice Follow tracks the words you actually say. Slow down for emphasis, ad-lib a joke, or restart a sentence, and it keeps up instead of scrolling past you.
The notch is excluded from screen recording and capture, so your script never sneaks into the final cut or a screen-shared take.
Flubbed a line? Jump back one sentence and go again without scrolling around or losing your spot in the script.
Mark the hook, the sponsor read, the ask. Each greens the moment you say it, and a warning fires while there is still runtime to fix the miss. Part of Tellie Pro, switched on for your first 10 days.
What people say
I'd downloaded teleprompters before, but they were always too much fuss to set up. But this is a teleprompter that listens to you.
I tried ten teleprompter apps, Tellie is the only one that just works. Reliable voice tracking, automation through hotkeys, and best of all, I can send any text directly to the teleprompter with a single button press.
New in Tellie 1.5
Color, audio, a bad cut, all fixable. The sponsor read you skipped is not, and you will not find out until you are three days into the edit and the light has changed and the shirt is in the wash.
Film crews used to check the gate before moving on, because finding the hair in the frame later meant coming back. Tellie hands you the same thing for words: which points you actually made, before you take the lights down.
Mark the beats you owe: the hook, the sponsor, the ask. Say each one however it comes out on the day. Tellie is listening for the idea, so take four does not have to match take one.
Running long with the call to action still ahead? Tellie says so, by name, with time left to tighten. Not in the edit, when your only option is a jump cut.
The debrief tells you where you drifted and how fast you were talking. So the retake is a decision, not a vibe.
Set the length you were aiming for and Tellie tells you when you are drifting past it, while the lights are still up. Then the debrief tells you what you actually covered. The two-minute guide has the rest, and this one is a sponsored take: the hook word for word, the middle riffed, and the line the sponsor is paying for marked so it cannot go missing.
Everything on this page is switched on for your first 10 days. No card, no sign-up, nothing to cancel. Shoot something real with it and see whether the edit gets shorter.
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 capture, so ScreenFlow, OBS, QuickTime and Loom all record what is behind it. No masking or cropping in post. There is an opt-in visible mode for filming Tellie on purpose, and it resets on quit.
Yes. Autocue is what most of the world outside the United States calls a teleprompter. Tellie does the same job without the rig, the glass or the operator, and it follows you rather than scrolling at a speed you have to match.
No. Those exist to put text on the axis of a big lens. On a Mac the camera is inches from the notch, so text there already reads as eye contact. Shooting on a real camera? Put the Mac under the lens and use the thin strip.
That is what Tellie is built for. Voice Follow highlights the words as you say them, so you can wander, restart a sentence or drop a line and it keeps up. Mark the points you must not lose and Tellie confirms you covered them, in your own words. A ready-made script shows the convention.
