What is the best teleprompter app that keeps eye contact?

Choose one that puts your words directly under the camera lens rather than in the middle of the screen: that placement is what keeps your eyes on the viewer. EyePrompt is built around exactly that. A narrow reading band sits beneath the front camera on iPhone and iPad and under the camera on Mac, an Eye Contact Score after each take shows how much of it your eyes stayed near the lens, Smart Follow moves the script at your pace, everything runs on the device, and Pro can be bought once instead of subscribed to.

How do I read a script while looking at the camera?

Put the text where the lens is. When you read from the middle of the screen your eyes visibly drop; text right under the lens keeps your gaze on camera. Keep lines short, read one line at a time and let the script follow your voice so you never chase it. In EyePrompt you paste the script, tap record and read from the band under the camera: Smart Follow keeps your place, Smart Pause waits when you stop, and Lens Lock can hold a single line still under the camera.

Is there a free teleprompter app?

Yes. EyePrompt is free to download and use: three saved scripts, takes up to three minutes, the Eye Contact Score, Smart Follow and captions, and 1080p exports with no watermark for your first 30 days. On the Mac the prompter has no time limit, even on the free plan. Pro removes the limits.

Is there a teleprompter app without a subscription?

Yes. Besides the monthly plan and the yearly plan with a seven-day free trial, EyePrompt Pro is sold as a one-time purchase that never renews. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Can I use a teleprompter on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet without people seeing it?

Yes, with EyePrompt for Mac. The script floats in a narrow band under your Mac's camera, above Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime or Keynote, and never takes focus from the call. In supported apps the band is hidden from screen sharing: you see it, the people watching your shared screen do not. The app includes a Share Check so you can test it once with your own setup.

Is there a teleprompter for iPad that keeps eye contact?

Yes. EyePrompt is a native iPad app. It asks which edge your camera is on and keeps the reading band narrow and centred under it, in portrait or landscape, and landscape takes play back in their own shape.

Can I use the same teleprompter on Mac and iPhone?

Yes. EyePrompt is one app on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, so one Pro purchase unlocks all three. Scripts are stored on each device and do not sync between them.

Does the teleprompter follow my voice, in my language?

Yes. Smart Follow listens on your device and moves the script at the pace you speak, in the language your script is written in, wherever your device offers on-device speech recognition for that language. Smart Pause holds it when you stop. The app itself is fully translated into English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Italian.

Does a teleprompter app upload my scripts or recordings?

EyePrompt does not. Scripts, recordings and speech recognition stay on your device. There is no account, no sign-up and no analytics, it works with no internet connection, and the App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.

Does EyePrompt fix my eyes with AI?

No. EyePrompt never edits, repaints or redirects your eyes. It keeps the script right under the lens so your real eyes stay close to the camera while you record, and after each take the Eye Contact Score shows how much of it your eyes stayed near the lens and when you looked away. AI gaze correction after the fact is a different kind of tool.

How do creators record TikToks, Reels and YouTube videos without memorizing?

They write the script in short lines, put it under the lens and read it to the camera. EyePrompt records vertical video with the front camera, lets you rehearse without recording, keeps your best take and exports captions (.srt) built from your own script, so there are no transcription errors. Pro removes the watermark and records in 4K where the camera supports it.
