New App Turns Your Smartphone Into a Teleprompter

A new app called PromptSmart hopes to revolutionize public speaking. PromptSmart functions as a teleprompter, allowing users to insert a speech in a .docx or .txt file. The app scrolls through your speech as you talk using voice recognition technology:

With patent pending VoiceTrack(tm) speech recognition technology, PromptSmart will follow your every word during your speech, automatically scrolling the text at your natural pace in real time. For less structured presentations, stay on-point with the built-in digital notecards to make sure you address important topics seamlessly. Whatever your needs, PromptSmart takes the stress out of public speaking with this reliable and intuitive mobile app for any occasion.

The interface is highly-customizable, allowing users to choose their own font, text size and color. The app even lets you practice your speech beforehand, recording it so you can hear your practice runs and make improvements. Users can then edit speeches directly in the app.

The app uses Box, Dropbox, Gmail, Google Drive and OneDrive to download text files, and can handle scripts with up to 5,000 words.

While teleprompters are a luxury, the teleprompter app is available for iOS devices for $9.99.

A week ago, we launched PromptSmart -- the new voice recognition-enabled teleprompter app for iPhone and iPad. What began as merely a concept has finally come to fruition with our presence in the App Store. Over the past week, we’ve been humbled by the reviews we’ve received from individual users and app review sites. Mac Sources wrote, “I can highly recommend PromptSmart for anyone who has to do any form of public speaking” and 148Apps exclaimed, “For once, an app that uses voice recognition just as well as it promises to.”

We’ve also appreciated all of the great feedback regarding what individual users love about PromptSmart as well as some improvements that would make it even better. In light of that, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be launching a free update to PromptSmart in the next couple of weeks, which will enhance the app in two ways. First, PromptSmart will having a mirroring feature added, which will allow you to use your device along with a teleprompter mirror, so as to use PromptSmart as an actual teleprompter. The second update will be the inclusion of larger font sizes, which will support both those using the mirror option from a greater distance as well as other users who may prefer a larger font.

These two updates are our way of letting you know that we’re working to make PromptSmart the best teleprompter app for meeting your needs. No matter where your public speaking engagements and/or presentations take you, just know: You speak, we follow.

These updates are just the beginning, there’s a lot more to come from the team at PromptSmart!
