Since Apple devices don’t have an in-built teleprompter, here is my curated list of the best apps for Mac. Let’s get started!

1. Promt+ Teleprompter: Editor’s choice

PromtPlus Teleprompter is the best teleprompter app on this list as it provides the Voice Recognition feature. The text scrolls automatically as it recognizes what is being read. And it works flawlessly. While other apps provide this feature, this app performed the best in our testing. The app also allows you to import your scripts from Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive in .txt, .rtf, .pdf, and Google Doc formats. The app will also display a clock and allow you to set a timer, which is extremely useful for time-bound content.   Above that, it’s free. Yes, this app is free! However, the caveat is that a script can have only 750 words. If you want to go beyond this limitation, you’ll have to pay a one-time fee of $10.00. Totally worth it, in my opinion, if you regularly use a teleprompter tool. Besides, it performs well for meetings, etc., too.  Price: Free (Pro upgrade: One-time payment of $10.00)

Voice recognition One-tap switch to the dark and light mode Free to use

No transparency features

2. Virtual Teleprompter lite: Best free teleprompter for Mac

Visual Teleprompter lite is a basic teleprompter app. If you need to use teleprompters occasionally for presenting during lectures or meetings, this is the best app. It turns transparent when you click start and displays a timer and auto scrolls. Further, you can adjust the scrolling speed by using the arrow keys or even manually scrolling through text.   You can set the font size and have three font color options: black, white, and green. A significant feature of this app is that it has support for RTL languages such as Arabic & Hebrew.  It has a 1,000-word limit and supports only one script as it is the app’s free version. The app’s Pro version will set you back by $3.99 and is a one-time purchase. I’ll provide you with links to both; get the one that best suits your needs.   Price: Free (Pro upgrade: One-time payment of $3.99)

3. PowerPrompter Express: Most professional teleprompter

PowerPrompter Express is not only the most professional teleprompter for Mac but also provides users with a good deal of applications. There are numerous settings under Script, Overlay, and Displays. It is beginner-friendly, and professionals who are used to teleprompter tools will feel at home. The app is optimized for both Intel and M1 macs and is not a Windows port. If you need to confine a script under a certain time range, you can set the timer, and the text will scroll accordingly.   You can also open multiple teleprompter windows at the same time. And the option to turn a window transparent is available here. This is the free version, and the only drawback is that it can prompt text for five minutes only. You’ll have to buy the paid version to unlock the time cap.   Price: Free

4. Teleprompter Premium +: Remote control access

Teleprompter Premium + layout displays most of the necessary features intuitively on the main window. You can store multiple scripts. It also displays a timer that predicts and displays the time left by referring to the scrolling speed. Smart, right?   If that is not enough, you can also control them remotely. And it’s not just through one mode; you can use multiple devices to control this app like a keyboard, presentation remote, media remote, gaming controllers, foot pedals, Wi-Fi/LAN through browsers and other iOS devices too. That’s an exhausting list, but there are multiple possibilities.   Once you’ve upgraded to the premium, you can use this app on multiple devices. It records video while prompting text on the iPhone.

5. PromtSmart Pro Teleprompter: Record video and audio

PromtSmart Pro Teleprompter is another app with the voice tracking feature, but we already have an application for that. So, why did we choose this app? Because with this app, you can record the audio and video while reading text from the teleprompter display. Users can set the quality in which the camera captures video.   You also get in-app camera controls like tap-to-focus, auto-exposure lock, and auto-focus lock. If you are on a budget and need to record videos through your MacBook, this will be a resourceful application.   The app can teleprompt continuously for 30mins with a 5,000-word upper limit. Please use an external mic for the voice tracking feature to work flawlessly. It also has more features than other apps on the list.   Price: Paid $19.99

6. Teleprompter – Floating Notes: Floating windows and customizability

Teleprompter: Floating Notes is among those apps providing all the basic tools you are looking for and helping add more personality to the interface. You can change the font and the background color and be spoilt for choice.   The user interface is minimal, and all the settings available are right there on the app’s home screen. You can have multiple scripts. Now, you have the option to add a floating window, but it will only display one window.   You can download the app for free, and if you feel the need, you can upgrade to the Pro version, offering more features.   Price: Free

Bonus – Teleprompter Software: Free tool

If you’re running short of space or want a teleprompter to work out of any web browser, Teleprompter Software is the best tool for you. It does the basics right.  You can upload your script to the website or even type it there. Once done, you can save your script, set the scrolling speed font size, and event shrink margins for more convenience. This helps as if your eyes aren’t moving from one side to another; not many people will tell you are reading text from your screen. Price: Free Download That’s it! This list of the best teleprompter apps for Mac will suffice for most users and their use case scenario. However, if they do not meet your needs, let us know in the comments. We will help you out.
