PromptSmart Pro - Teleprompter for Positive User Reviews
✓ Good app but a countdown clock would make it betterOverall a good app - the voice activation is really neat but if the camera is further than 1.5 meters away then it doesn’t work. The scroll function works fine - the only thing missing is a countdown clock as the script starts at the top instead. The only annoying this is having to pay a monthly subscription to use a linked phone as a controller. Seems like an unnecessary money grab that they could have instead included as a one off in the over all price..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Constantly disappointed by this appI’ve been using this app for a few years alongside a handful of others (TelePrompt+ 3). This app just can’t seem to get it right. First, importing files (even .rtf or other basic OSX formats) import with metadata, making the scripts unusable without HOURS of editing. It’s ridiculous. Not sure how an iPad app doesn’t natively support .rtf files for Christ’s sake. Yes the voice system is buggy as others have said, but worse is the fact that services like Dropbox and Drive also ban the application from time-to-time, making it impossible to import. Not sure why this is happening, but perhaps the dev didn’t follow the TOS from Dropbox and other services. Amateur hour. I really wanted this to work, but it just isn’t pro-grade as advertised. Not at all..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Consider other options?Works fine, but can’t easily tolerate the constant grab for ‘premium features’..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Great appJust bought this app and recorded some things using it. So far it works great. I was surprised at how well it tracked with my voice which isn’t nearly as clear as my wife’s. Even when you go off script it picks back up when you return. I even talked with a weird accent and it understood me. Only disappointment is you can’t use the free remote app with it without paying a monthly fee. I don’t think the remote is necessary. I found it works best with my iPhone 7plus phone turned portrait rather than landscape mode or using the iPad. The bigger the screen the more side-to-side eye movement you can see on camera. So far so good!.Version: 1.6
✓ So far so good!And you can’t always say that right! The ‘Main Reason’ I purchased this was for the voice recognition. I’m a one man show with a TelePrompTer and don’t want to seen on camera with a remote! I will say (and Promtsmart says this in their description), when you get more than a few feet away you’ll have issues. In. Y case, with a very quiet studio...anything over about 5ft. and the VR started to not function with every word. My solution (because I plan to be 6~8 ft from my camera), was to purchase a mic that would connect directly to my iPad. The Boya DM 1 Digital Lavalier did the trick...and now the VR works flawlessly from 20ft!.Version: 1.7
✓ Glitch with iPadNice app. I like it but there is a glitch when you try to edit on the iPad. The text doesn’t display at all..Version: 2.1.4
✓ GreatWorks wonderfully and at a great price point. Highly recommended for producing an online video for research and academia.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Let me lock my rotation!Rotation only works on portrait mode, not landscape, and I use the teleprompter in landscape mode. Otherwise, fantastic app, just this one simple thing would save me so much fiddling around, lots of love guys! 🫶🫶.Version: 2.2.0
✓ PromptSmart Pro ReviewPromptSmart Pro is a great app to use!! Personally, I use it for my broadcasting class and it suits all of my needs. I can easily record my audio and video without worrying about remembering or forgetting my script. It includes fun features like changing the color of your script as well as the size of your words. It automatically and reliably transports your videos to your camera roll, so you never have to worry about looking for them or missing any. I have this app on two devices already and I use it quite frequently. Thanks to this app, I can get good grades on my assignments and I never have to worry about looking in all directions for my script while filming. Ultimately, I recommend this app for anyone that frequently films videos or audio clips whether you are an actor/actress, filmmaker, or broadcasting student!!.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Forced to pay again?Edit: Spoke with support and they were incredibly concerned and supportive. There’s a button “restore purchases” — tap that and you don’t have to pay again. It might not seem like the app responds, but I think it’s just a part of the somewhat clunky new update. App still works great, AND voice track is even better!! original: Like a lot of folks, I purchased this app already and now suddenly don’t have access to the pro features and support just won’t tell us how to access them again, if even possible. In the middle of work and the app just resets and requires some new subscription to work again. Tell us how to fix this please. I’ll adjust my review if things get resolved obviously but this isn’t good..Version: 3.0.2
✓ It does what it claims!! Excellent stuff!Excellent stuff!.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Brilliant!I tired out a few other TelePrompter apps before ending up with this one. It just works. Simple and effective. The fact that it scrolls with my voice means no clicking or trying to control the TelePrompTer with a remote or other app. It works fine in both portrait and landscape mode. This has revolutionised the way I work when recording video workshops. Really glad I bought it..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Really nice prompter but it could be betterI like this app and give it 4 stars out of 5 as there is room for improvement. The best feature is that it monitors what I say and scrolls the text automatically. That is awesome. However, one area for improvement would be allowing for a larger font. Currently the font is capped at 10. Why?!! The font should at least go to 14 as there are many folks who have trouble reading small fonts. This is an easy fix and they should roll that out immediately! Second, they should implement a “lock text orientation” option so the text doesn’t change orientation when the orientation of the device changes. Essentially, when I’m finished with the settings, the text should not be flipping around while I’m placing the phone into position on my camera. If they fix these two issues, this app would deserve a 5* and I would update my review accordingly. Overall though, it’s a good app that can be improved and it is worth the $20..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Perfect for meI’m editing together a sort of retrospective of my past work right now - and while I’ve done plenty of voiceover on projects as needed, I’m not usually on camera for it. Because of the nature of this particular piece I needed to make the jump to staying on script even when engaging the camera. While others have complained about how various file types are supported or whether it could follow their voice, I did not have these problems. It followed me perfectly, even when I would stumble and go back to re-read a couple lines. Just perfect! It’s going to be in my toolbox for the long haul..Version: 2.0.5
✓ It works-amazing customer serviceI initially could not get the app to work and was quite frustrated with the app. I reached out to customer service and they replied the next day. Evidently, one must hit play to go to TelePrompTer mode and hit play again to get it to start. It did work fairly well. It did get glitchy in parts but it may just be me not familiar with the technology. Overall, it is a very good app and I would recommend. After fixing the initial issue via email. I was still having glitch issues with app. The developer called me on a scheduled appointment and walk me thru some changes to fix the stalling issue and indicated I can him if there any other questions or concerns. I am very pleased with product thus far..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Great app - when used with an external mic for voice trackingI have tried several teleprompt apps for live streaming, webinars and presentations. With voice tracking with is a killer feature because I can speak naturally, pause to take questions, format as bullet points to manage an agenda live etc. I used with a 2021 ipad Pro. With the internal mic I found the voice tracking intermittent. I then hooked up an external semi-pro mic via a USB-C mic dongle and now it works much more smoothly, 99%. What I did notice though is the voice tracking struggles with non-English words when I need to switch to other languages transliterated in my teleprompter script. Work-around is to use the remote control app via my iPhone and to scroll forward. One irritating thing with the remote is it doesn't have a bar to move the script up or down, only arrows to move lines. This means I have to press the remote buttons several times rather than scroll. Other apps allow for smooth remote scrolling so this can be easily fixed I'm sure..Version: 2.1.8
✓ No more problems shooting videos!Your app is incredible and allows me to say what I want to say with exact precision and purpose because the words are all right there in front of me, on your Prompt Smart app - thank you ! I just hook it up with my Teleprompter and I’m good to go, like a PRO!.Version: 2.1.8
✓ A great app for a video blogI am using PromptSmart to record videos for my art blog and I am very happy with it..Version: 2.1
✓ PromptSmart ProAs a first time user, I have been looking for an app like this for a while and I think I have found it. I am finding my way around it and am very impressed.Version: 2.2.0
✓ JRSI personhood could do with some training videoed perhaps on uTube it would have saved me a lot of wasted time playing aroun with it..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Love the appThis is game changer. I love this app. It allows me to do 8 videos in one take. No need editing. It’s amazing. Feedback for company; Allow us to chose the size of the box we read from. I could use a smaller one meaning less eye movement left to right on a iPad. Also allow us to lock the video with a full screen preview. Many times I’m on the side covered by text and can’t tell it’s overexposed and I can’t click on face to edit it. I still love it and see you updating it so I hope more improvement in the future. I’ve been telling everyone about this app. It really is a blessing to make video this easy..Version: 2.0.8
✓ It worksFor me, this works perfectly and helps me stay on cue and not going off on too many tangents while speaking. The voice recognition works fine and a great feature is that if I go off on a rant it waits until I return to the script. When using this, I go to the trouble of ending all other apps to ensure it has the resources necessary, which is something I generally do on my iPad if what I’m doing with any app is relevant enough to have everything it needs to run without issue. My iPad runs fine using this app and 32g of memory, which is at the minimal end of what iPads offer..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Just Buy It - Works Like BeastI used my iPad prompter this week for 5 days straight. I’ve been having connection issues with my former prompting app, Teleprompter 3+. So I gave it one more shot on a Monday. Failed again! I sent a support email to the developer and no response at all. On Tuesday I was shooting the CEO with a long speech. So I scrambled on Monday night looking for a new app that would work. And then...PromptSmart Pro! I usually use a remote app on my iPhone X to advance the script, but this app uses voice recognition to advance the script and IT WORKS! Tested it all night Monday and loaded the scripts for Tuesday. I contacted the developer about the remote app and they responded within a couple hours. Nice! It works fine without the remote app, but for confidence-sake, I’ll be buying the remote app as well. I filmed the CEO on Tuesday and it worked beautifully! Over the course the next 4 days I filmed 37 people using PromptSmart Pro and it worked flawlessly with all types of accents and ethnicities. It only failed twice; once in a room with no soft surfaces, so it was basically in an echo chamber. The other time was a person that was speaking so fast, my human ears could barely understand what she was saying. I asked her to slow down and the app picked her up just fine and worked. I am beyond thrilled with the app and the customer support..Version: 2.0.9
✓ A real game-changer!It follows my speech perfectly. A must-have if you do public speaking or need to record video lectures. I really enjoy the experience!.Version: 2.1
✓ The perfect tool for narrationAs a professional narrator taking scripts into the sound booth or working with an iPad that you had to manually scroll was interfering with my product. Using your app will allow me to read for as long as I like without the inconvenience of rustling paper noises or bumping the iPad screen and losing my place. It’s wonderful, thank you. Mitchell Snaden MitchellSnaden audio.com.Version: 2.1.4
✓ Works wellGreat app. Just needs a timer to view. I like the voice recognition..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Thank you!Thank you for fixing the legacy accounts that have paid full price in the past! I have not tested this on my iPad as I was scared to update it, but I have it on my phone and so far seems to be working properly… I will give it a test on my iPad and see if everything is working on it, and hopefully be able to upgrade to 5 stars.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great app, just one requestIn pre-pandemic days a prompter operator could match the talent’s speed and adjust for ad-libs, dramatic pauses, etc. That’s not an option anymore in the self-recording era. The VoiceTrack feature works really well to allow speakers to present at a comfortable (and sometimes changing) pace. The update to show full width video in selfie mode removes confusion about framing the shot which is a plus. But PLEASE make the shaded half of the screen behind the script a bit denser. The script needs to contrast with the background in order to be clear and easy to read. High marks for this app and I continue to recommend it. I’d just like to see this one tweak to the on-screen script area. Thanks!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Worked for meThought I’d add a review as some older ones seem poor in comparison to my experience. It works well for short takes, 5-8 mins, and I haven’t used beyond that. Sometimes when you screw up and have to start again, the app needs a manual nudge to get to listen again, but overall it’s pretty good and allows me to change pace naturally. Clever and really useful app..Version: 2.1.8
✓ First TelePrompTer that works for meBefore trying this app I tried around 10 others. None really worked for what I wanted. My ideal scenario is to write a script in Word then import it. I then play the script which advances in synch with my reading. I want the app to use voice recognition so I can pause to demonstrate software. Not much to ask but this is the first app that's worked. It's also saving me loads of time in post production editing. I now need to investigate so of the other features but on the strength of what it's given me so far it's getting 5stars..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Prompting made easyI love the Teleprompter Pro app. for IOS on my iPad. The voice activated auto-scrolling of text feature is ideal. When you stop, it waits for you to begin speaking again. It’s much better than manual control of scrolling which has a number of drawbacks. The edit functions are easy to use, and it’s clear and easy to read. I invert the text and use a sheet of half mirrored glass that I shoot through with my BMD Ursa Mini 4.6K cinema camera. The video looks great, and people cannot tell that I use a tele-promoter for my scripts. Brock Fricker from Brock Sound / Dreamscape Video, Toronto.Version: 2.1.8
✓ Great idea not so great executionI love this app, don’t get me wrong. However the bugs of it jumping forward too far or not responding are the reasons for only giving 3 stars. No updates in 9 months either to rectify the issues. I wish this app worked properly because it’s great other than the jumping too far forward while reading..Version: 2.1.8
✓ Just what I was looking for!I've got just what I need here. I use this as an autocue with my DSLR and it's much better than I thought it would be. The scrolling works well and recording sound and video at the same time is a fantastic bonus as then I don't even need my separate camera! Update - I’ve had it a year and it’s still as useful as ever!.Version: 1.6
✓ So obvious in retroI’ve tried half a dozen teleprompter apps and this is by far the best. Not having to use some flaky Bluetooth dingus is great. The idea that the app listens to you and scrolls to keep you next line front and centre is game-changing. Get this app if you need a good teleprompter..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Confusing UpdateUpdate: I figured out the problem based on another review. I clicked on migrate documents and the issue appears to be fixed. It also appears someone has contacted me from support but it won’t load the conversation. Oh well. As long as it works. They should put something on the app to explain this so they stop getting bad reviews. — I’ve used this app for over a year and it was great. Now they’ve updated it and I can’t use it. They switched from a one time purchase to a subscription. It won’t let me into the app to use it. It asks for a login that I never needed before and doesn’t recognize any of my emails. Basically stole my money. I contacted support and they never responded..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Excellent appExcellent voice-activated teleprompter app with only occasional glitches. Sometimes the scrolling doesn’t respond to particular words which is obviously frustrating, but this only happens randomly. If this could be ironed out it would be pretty perfect. Also, please hurry up with a version that will work on a MacBook. You’re really missing a trick there..Version: 1.7
✓ Workflow ChangerThis app works very well. The voice recognition in itself is worth the download. For me, with a ‘plain’ English accent it follows my speech 99% of the time and has changed my workflow for the better. Excellent app. Thank you.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Voice tracking failsMany reviewers note the voice tracking feature (which is really the only thing that sets this apart from other, more buttoned-up prompter apps) is inconsistent. I’d say it just doesn’t work. We’ve tried it in numerous settings with and without plugged-in mics and we have yet to get it not to crash during a 4-6 minute session. I won’t speculate on why, but will note these issues have been identified by reviewers since 2018 and in mid-2020, the signature feature does not work well enough to be useful. In addition, in selfie mode, there’s really no control over the camera nor background (as most other good prompter apps provide) making it hard to guarantee you’ve got a good shot..Version: 2.0.9
✓ 100% Worth ItI have been using PromptSmart Pro weekly for two years to give sermons at my church. I typically use an iPad, but have also used my iPhone and my MacBook Pro. This software is virtually flawless. It is by far the best speech recognition engine I have tried, it is easy to learn, and it has never let me down before a live audience. I am a good writer, but I have problems with memory when I try to give a speech live. PromptSmart Pro is a lifesaver for me. Every time I forget what I am going to say next, PromptSmart Pro has correctly moved the teleprompter to the correct next line in my sermon. This allows me to speak fluently and flawlessly while focusing my attention on my audience, not on my text. In my past career, I was a VP of Products in the software industry (I led the creation of Rosetta Stone language learnning software), so I know a great product when I see it and use it. PromptSmart Pro is a great product..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Impressive voice tracking; looks like video/audio sync problem might have been fixed nowUPDATE: I was initially very impressed with an earlier version of this app, but I discovered that on longer recordings made on my 2018 iPad 9.7” the video and audio became increasingly out of sync as the recording progressed. I have now switched to another product, and so it would take some getting used to to switch back to PromptSmart Pro again. However, out of courtesy to the developers, who replied to my earlier review asking me to download the latest version to see whether the problem had gone away, I have done so. I've only tried it once, on a reasonably long recording, but it does look like the problem has now been fixed. I think the fairest thing to do, even though I'm not using the software any more except for testing purposes, is to revise my rating to 5 stars: software is an excellent concept, and developers have proved responsive..Version: 2.1.2
✓ ImprovedI’ve been using this for five months now. The text flow following my speech has much improved over that time. Well done..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Best Teleprompter app- voice track is awesomeGreat app, I've tried a lot of teleprompter apps this one is by far the best Easy to use, fast to setup and import scripts Voice track is so much better than scrolling at a set speed One annoying thing is the 3 dots near the play button, sometimes i press this accidentally when trying to press play, please move the 3 dots somewhere else they are in the way. Other than that its a great teleprompter app Highly recommended..Version: 2.1.8
✓ It works most of the time, but not always.This has mostly been a great asset for me as a professional actor. I’ve only had issues with it once before, and customer service let me know that it was the way the PDF was formatted that caused issues when I copied and pasted into the app. Easy enough to correct. But after the most recent update, I cannot get it to function properly at all and I have to meet a deadline tonight. This is not a cheap app to purchase and has paid for itself easily, but when it does have problems they are extremely, massively, annoyingly frustrating problems..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Excellent ValueI tried using other teleprompter apps (I hadn't known about this one yet) but most of them had subscription models, which makes absolutely no sense. Why would you pay an on going subscription for something you don't regularly use? This app: one time charge, you get a product and it's yours for life. Easy and fair transaction. It works great and has voice tracking so it knows when to stop when you stop and when to resume when you talk. Fantastic app and one of the best purchases I made..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Doesn’t work**** Yes it’s does.So this doesn’t happen often. I posted a terrible review yesterday as I tried the app and it just got hung up trying to process my script. For hours! Given the price of the app, I was not happy. I reached out to their help desk and got a response the next morning. With a couple of simple steps (delete all the scripts, reload my script) it worked perfectly. I mean perfectly! Right down to transferring the resultant video file from my iPad to my Mac seamlessly via air drop. Last night, after I had issues, I tried a dozen other alternatives and none of them did everything this app does. So when the tech support person’s suggestion worked, I was absolutely thrilled. Worth. Every. Penny..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Works wellI have used this to record dozens of videos. Sometimes the voice track will skip ahead but most of the time it works very well. I’ve used it in selfie mode, and mirrored with a home made autocue and SLR camera - both ways are excellent. The customisation is helpful to get the balance right between text size and the number of words on-screen. I have found voice track works best when using a lapel microphone so the app gets a clean voice input. The app loses a star because when my wife used it to record videos a couple of years ago it didn’t track her voice as well - but works fine when I read her script. I don’t know if this has been rectified recently though..Version: 3.0.1
😕 PromptSmart Pro - Teleprompter Negative Reviews
