You’ve written your script and you copy/pasted it into the first or second teleprompter you found online. You’ve given yourself 15 minutes to record a 30-second video. You assume you’ve done the hard part of coming up with an idea and writing your script so recording a quick video should be… quick.

But your teleprompter can only automatically scroll through your script, and a few bad takes in, you still sound kind of off. More than fifteen minutes later, you’re still trying to keep up with the teleprompter instead of connecting with the words you wrote.

We added a voice-controlled mode inside Speakflow called Flow Mode to deal with exactly that problem. Instead of forcing you to match a fixed scrolling speed, Flow Mode follows your voice while you talk. If you pause somewhere, the teleprompter pauses. If you slow down in the middle of a sentence, the pacing slows down too.

In this video, Corey demonstrates how Flow Mode works in real time. With a voice-controlled teleprompter, you’ll:

We also have adjustable teleprompter auto-scroll speeds and a manual mode if you prefer controlling the pacing yourself with a mouse or remote.

Speakflow is built to stay out of your way while you’re talking. If you’re searching for the best teleprompter software or the best app for reading a script while recording videos, the real difference usually comes down to whether the teleprompter helps your pacing or messes you up. 

When your teleprompter follows your pace, you can focus on creating content that feels like a  conversation with your audience instead of spending the whole recording trying to keep up with the screen.
