FREE VOICE-ACTIVATED TELEPROMPTER Stay in
the take.

Yes. Voice Teleprompter is a free tool from Rivet Lab Studio. Voice following, hands-free commands, reading controls, and the take log are all free. Open it in your browser and paste your script. No account or credit card needed.

Start with two devices: one phone or camera to record, and a second phone or tablet for your words. Mount the camera at eye level and put the prompter just behind or beside it. Bring the reading line close to the lens. Set the text size from where you’ll actually stand, then record a short test to check your eyeline and sound.

This tool is designed to display your script on a separate screen while your phone or camera records. It doesn’t record video or overlay words on your camera app. Use a second phone, tablet, or computer for the prompter so both your script and your camera can stay open.

Leave it off when you’re reading directly from a phone or tablet. Use mirror mode when your screen is reflected in teleprompter glass. The app can flip the reading view left-to-right or top-to-bottom to suit your rig.

Write the way you talk: short sentences, familiar words, and room to breathe. Keep the text column narrow enough that your eyes don’t scan far sideways, and make it large enough to read without leaning in. Rehearse once, then watch a short test take. Adjust the setup to you.

No. The tracker allows for small changes and skipped words. It still needs enough of your script to recognize your place. For a bigger rewrite, stop and edit your script. A line break starts a new cut, so break your script into moments you can comfortably say in one go.

Check that the browser has microphone permission and can hear you from your filming position. Reduce background noise and keep the prompter tab in the foreground. Between cuts, “take that again” gives you a fresh start; mid-take, say “prompter” first. If speech recognition isn’t available, switch to the set-pace mode and choose a comfortable speed.

Safari on iPhone has been tested on the working prompter. Voice following depends on the browser and device, and the app checks support when you open it. Speech recognition is currently set to US English. Set-pace scrolling is available when voice following isn’t.

You choose. Say “that’s the one” to mark a keeper. The take log records your marks and times so you can find those moments in your footage. It doesn’t judge your delivery or edit the video. Copy or download the log when you finish.

Your pasted script and take log are handled in the current browser page; the app doesn’t upload them to Rivet Lab. Reading settings and custom command preferences are saved locally in this browser. There’s no cloud backup or saved script library in this version, so keep your original script and copy or download your take log before refreshing or closing the page. Clearing this site’s browser data removes its saved settings.

Voice following uses your browser’s speech recognition. Depending on support, audio may be processed on your device or sent to the browser provider’s servers. The app shows which route is available and offers an on-device language download when supported. Rivet Lab doesn’t receive or record your microphone audio. The demonstrations on this landing page never use your microphone.

Load the tool while you’re online. Server-based speech recognition needs a connection; on-device recognition can work without one after the required language pack is installed, where supported. Set-pace mode doesn’t use speech recognition. This isn’t a downloadable offline app, so check your setup before relying on it without a connection.
