Voice scrolling is available for iOS, macOS, Android, and web browser versions
Voice scrolling is one of the most innovative features in Teleprompter.com, allowing your script to scroll automatically as you speak—hands-free and perfectly timed to your delivery. Whether you're a speaker, content creator, or educator, this tool helps you stay focused on your message without needing manual control.
How to Enable and Use Voice Scrolling on iOS, macOS and Android
Follow these steps for a smooth setup:
Go to Settings > Speech Recognition
Make sure Enable Smooth Scrolling is turned on.
- What is Smooth Scrolling?
With this enabled, the script scrolls continuously, adjusting to your speaking speed: if you speak faster, it scrolls faster; if you pause or slow down, scrolling slows accordingly.- If Smooth Scrolling is off, voice recognition will still function, but the script will jump the spoken word to the top of the screen instead of scrolling smoothly.
Enable Voice Commands (Optional)
In the same Speech Recognition settings menu, you can toggle on Voice Commands to control playback using your voice.
- Once enabled, you can say:
- “Go top” – scrolls to the beginning
- “Go restart” – restarts the script
- “Go next” – skips to the next section
- “Go previous” – goes back to the last section
- “Go current” – returns to the current reading position
- You can also choose to display voice command in all supported languages, which helps in multilingual environments or for non-native speakers.
- Important: Voice commands are recognized in the language of the script, not based on the device's system language or user preferences. This ensures accurate command detection during your session.
Select a Microphone Input (Optional)
If you're using an external mic, select it in this same menu to improve clarity and recognition.
Choose Your Script
Open the Scripts panel and tap the script you want to use.
Activate Speech Recognition
Tap the Speech Recognition icon (you may recognize it from the Speech Recognition settings). The app will start listening and scrolling in sync with your voice.
Want to Record Your Session?
Tap REC, then activate Speech Recognition and begin speaking. The app will record your video and scroll your script in real time—perfect for presentations, practice, or polished video content.
Bonus Tip: Use a Cue Indicator to Improve Alignment
If your script is scrolling too high on the screen when using voice scrolling, you can fix this by enabling and adjusting the cue indicator:
- Go to Settings > Text > Show Cue Indicator
- Once enabled, your spoken words will align with the cue line during playback
If needed, move the cue indicator lower on the screen (Settings > Text > Cue Indicator) so that the text aligns below the top of the screen. This helps prevent your script from disappearing offscreen too early during speech recognition sessions.
