The teleprompter that listens.

Most teleprompters just speed up and slow down when they hear noise. Tellie tracks the actual words you say, and waits when you wander off-script.

🔊 Unmute the video to hear the magic.

Note: by design, Tellie can't be screen-recorded or appear in Zoom meetings. That screen is just for you. I used the optional "Make Tellie visible in recordings" feature in Tellie's Settings for this recording, something I added after early users asked to share Tellie with others. Enjoy! - Steve

How it works

Three steps to better screen time.

For creators. For presenters. For sales calls. For teaching. For anyone who talks while looking at a screen.

Open a document

The prompter pops out automatically.

Click the mic

Tellie starts listening to the words you say.

Talk

Your document follows you, even when you ad-lib or jump ahead.

How people use Tellie

However you talk to a screen.

Recording videos

Load your script, look at the lens, and talk like a person. Tellie follows your words, so you never glance away to find your place.

See how &rarr;

Zoom calls & meetings

Keep your talking points in the notch while you present. Your colleagues see your face, not your notes, because Tellie is invisible to screen sharing.

See how &rarr;

Sales demos & pitches

Hit every key message without memorizing a word. Tellie holds your talking points while you focus on the prospect, and never shows up in the recording.

See how &rarr;

Keynotes & presentations

Presenter Mode puts your Keynote speaker notes in the notch and turns the slide when you finish talking. No clicker, no confidence monitor, no second screen.

See how &rarr;

Teaching & lectures

Keep your lesson plan in the notch and improvise freely. Voice Follow waits while you riff, then picks up the moment you return to the script.

Audition prep

Rehearse your sides with word-level tracking that follows even when you ad-lib or skip a line. Plus support for the free OpenDyslexic font.

What people are saying

People who talk for a living.

★★★★★

Once you've used a camera that lets you tap on the part of screen that you want in focus, you can't understand or tolerate cameras that don't. Tellie is this level of innovation, but for teleprompters.

I tried ten teleprompter apps, Tellie is the only one that just works.

I just used Tellie on my first Casting Director Zoom workshop in 13 years.

Having a teleprompter that follows my speech instead of scrolling at a fixed speed is an absolute game changer.
