Promptly

The tool functions as a teleprompter for video‑call platforms, scrolling text in sync with the speaker’s voice. It detects pauses and changes in speaking speed, pausing when the user stops and resuming automatically, while remaining invisible to other participants during screen sharing. An auto‑anchor feature relocates the scrolling position after brief off‑script deviations, eliminating manual adjustments.

Users can embed inline cues such as slide‑advance commands, links, or application switches, which trigger at the appropriate moment without requiring manual interaction. The interface accepts plain‑text scripts, saves them in a sidebar for quick access, and overlays a semi‑transparent window above the webcam that can be repositioned and resized. It supports both word‑for‑word delivery and outline mode for longer presentations.

Designed for macOS (version 13 or later) and currently integrated with Zoom, the software offers unlimited scripts and cues, with no recording or storage of spoken content. A three‑day free trial is available, after which a monthly subscription is required.
