9 Ways A Teleprompter App Can Level Up Your Content Creation
Become a better content creator with the help of a free teleprompter app. We share 9 ways Teleprompter Pro can streamline your workflow and make your content feel more professional.
Teleprompters aren’t just for newsreaders and professional media outlets – they’re for everyday content creators too. From removing the stress of learning a script to helping you deliver a clear message across multiple formats, there are lots of reasons to use one.
The Teleprompter Pro app is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It’s free to download, easy to use, and has all the functionality of a professional teleprompter. Below, we’re sharing 9 ways a teleprompter can transform your workflow – and content – for the better.
Make fewer mistakes
Teleprompter Pro allows you to record yourself using the selfie camera on your device while reading the script that appears onscreen. This gives you all the benefits of preparing a full script in advance, without the stress and hassle of having to learn it by heart.
You’re less likely to make mistakes when you use a teleprompter. That means fewer retakes and errors to deal with when it’s time to edit your content.
Produce more professional content
Maintain eye contact
Maintaining eye contact with the camera – AKA your audience – is essential for appearing confident and professional, and keeping viewers engaged. Teleprompter Pro has built-in recording functionality, allowing you to read straight from your script while looking at the camera.
Teleprompter Pro is also compatible with professional mirror teleprompters, should you wish to record with a camera, rather than your iPhone.
Keep your delivery consistent
People tend to speak more quickly when they’re nervous, or rush through their script in fear that they might forget something important. But speaking too quickly can leave your audience feeling lost or overwhelmed. It’s important to give them enough time to digest what you’re saying.
Teleprompter Pro allows you to slow down and better regulate your space with adjustable scroll speed, text size, and line spacing.
And it’s not just your pacing that a teleprompter can help with – it can also improve your tone and delivery. For example, you can make rich text edits like Bold, Italic, and Underline to give yourself visual cues on when to inflect or emphasise your words.
We recommend recording a few practice videos at various scroll speeds, and then asking friends, family, or colleagues for feedback. Chances are, they’ll prefer the one that felt painfully slow when recording!
Top tip: once you’ve found your ideal text settings, make these the default options on the Teleprompter Pro app so that every new script you upload stays consistent.
Deliver a clear message
Using a teleprompter forces you to stick to your script. It can help you get your message across more clearly, especially if you plan it out word-for-word. This is particularly beneficial for those who tend to lose their train of thought or go off on a tangent while public speaking.
By preparing a script in advance, you can ask others for feedback, and ensure it contains the right blend of information and entertainment (if appropriate). You can also edit it to perfection, making sure it’s written in the clearest, most concise way possible. This small change could see a huge leap in your audience engagement and comprehension.
Top tip: If you’re worried that reading from a teleprompter will make you sound too robotic, you can edit your script to make it more conversational. Use contractions e.g. change ‘you are’ to ‘you’re’ and ‘it will’ to ‘it’ll’. Small changes like this may not seem like much but can make a huge difference to the overall tone of your script. You should also practise reading your script aloud and make adjustments until it feels natural – what looks good on paper and what feels good to say are often very different things.
Useful for all kinds of media
Teleprompter Pro is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and thanks to its built-in recording functionality, it can be useful for creating all kinds of content. Whether you’re recording a TikTok video, hosting a podcast, or teaching a webinar, a teleprompter app can help you film your footage with less stress and fewer retakes.
Here are some of the most common teleprompter use cases:
- YouTube videos
- Podcasts
- UGC videos
- TikToks and Reels
- Hosting an online presentation or webinar
- Creating an online course
- Public speaking
- Audition videos
- Live streaming
- Social media ads
- Teaching
Record with guests
Need to record more than one person at once? With Teleprompter Pro’s cue indicator and customisable text, you can easily differentiate your script to show who should be speaking. Now you can record with as many people as you like, without worrying about people forgetting their lines or interrupting each other.
Edit scripts quickly and easily
Teleprompter Pro’s built-in script editor makes it quick and easy to tweak your scripts without having to upload new documents. Plus, you can export and share the new scripts within the app for speedy feedback before recording.
The best thing? All your scripts are synchronized on the app’s cloud too, so you’ll always have access to the most up-to-date version, whatever device you’re using.
Keep your scripts well-organised
Find it hard to keep track of all your scripts? Teleprompter Pro lets you sort your scripts into folders, and arrange them by title, date, or in a custom order for better organisation. You can also switch between icon and list views when browsing your scripts to easily find what you need.
Record everything in a single take
One of the best things about using a teleprompter app is that you can control the feed remotely. For example, you can pause the teleprompter or skip to another part of your script without stopping the recording. This can save you a ton of time in the long run, and you’ll hopefully be able to get all the footage you need in one run-through!
Teleprompter Pro is compatible with handheld presentation remotes, AKA ‘clickers’. But you can also control it with keyboard shortcuts, a game controller, a foot pedal, and even your Apple Watch!
Automatically generate subtitles
Teleprompter Pro can automatically generate captions for your video, making your content instantly more accessible to audiences. Adding captions manually can be time-consuming, so this feature is a great option for when you want to publish content quickly.
Record like a pro
Even though it’s completely free to use, Teleprompter Pro is the chosen teleprompter app of numerous media outlets and content creators. And because it’s so user-friendly and intuitive, anyone can use it, even if you don’t have any prior experience.
The app is also packed with professional-grade features that are essential for real-world studio work. Think of it like a cheat code to streamline and upgrade your content creation, for free!
