What you get

You can follow your script without forcing your delivery to match a timer.

TalkProp gives you a readable script to follow while you speak, whether you’re facing a camera, rehearsing a keynote, or reading a voiceover. You control the scrolling pace with your scroll wheel, so you can slow down for a tricky sentence or speed up without looking away to find a button.

If you stumble over a line, you can scroll backward to pick it up again instead of returning to the beginning. You can also adjust the text size and column width to read comfortably from where you’re sitting. If you use a physical teleprompter rig, you can mirror the display for reading through its glass.

You can paste plain text, RTF, or Markdown and begin reading without converting your script first. That leaves you free to concentrate on your delivery rather than preparing a separate version of your text.

  • Speak at your own pace

    You can adjust scrolling with your scroll wheel while reading, rather than keeping up with a fixed speed.

  • Recover a missed line

    You can scroll backward to revisit a sentence without restarting your whole script.

  • Read from your seat

    You can set the text size and column width to suit your reading distance.

  • Use your existing script

    You can paste plain text, RTF, or Markdown without converting it first.

  • Read through teleprompter glass

    You can mirror the display when using a physical teleprompter rig.

Best for

  • You read scripted videos or live streams on camera
  • You rehearse keynotes or other scripted presentations
  • You need text to follow during voiceover reads

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you speak without a script or prefer static notes that don’t scroll.

From the developer

TalkProp is a teleprompter for your Mac. Scroll-wheel rate control means you can nudge the speed mid-sentence without taking your eyes off the camera, and you can scroll backwards just as smoothly when you fumble a line.
