Recito

How to use Recito

A short guide to the situations that come up when you record yourself reading a script — and how to handle each one.

The basics

  1. Write or paste your script. It autosaves on your device, with a live read-time estimate so you know how long the take will run.
  2. Set your length and pace. Pick a recording length, then use the Size and Speed sliders. Tap Preview scroll to watch the script move before you commit — no recording happens.
  3. Record. A 3-2-1 countdown, then the script scrolls high under the lens while you look into the camera.
  4. Review and save. Play the take back, check your pace, then save it to Photos.

Common situations

The script scrolls too fast for me

Drop the Speed slider and tap Preview scroll to test it without recording. Most people over-estimate their reading pace the first time. After a take, the pace coach shows your actual words-per-minute — use that to set speed for the next one.

I lost my place mid-take

Drag the script up or down with your finger while recording. Autoscroll pauses while your finger is down and picks up from wherever you leave it.

My eyes look like I'm reading

Raise the font size so you read in fewer, longer glances, and keep the phone at arm's length or further — the closer the phone, the wider your eyes travel. The band sits high on purpose: the smaller the gap between text and lens, the more it reads as eye contact.

I'm using a beam-splitter rig

Turn on Mirror mode to flip the text for the glass. It's free — no unlock needed.

My script is longer than the free limit

The free tier covers scripts up to 750 characters, which is roughly 30–40 seconds of speech. Longer scripts are part of the one-time unlock.

I want the video without the watermark

Free saves carry a small "Recito" mark and export at 1080p. The one-time unlock removes the mark and keeps the original file untouched. It is a single purchase, not a subscription, and it restores free on any device on your Apple ID.


Pausing, and re-recording just one bit

I fluffed a line halfway through

Tap the record button to pause. The script freezes on the word you stopped at, so you carry on from exactly there rather than starting the take again. You still get one video — the pauses are invisible in the result.

I want to re-record just that bit

While paused, tap to delete the part you just recorded. The script rewinds with it, back to the words that part began on, and everything before it is kept. Then carry on.

How do I finish a take?

Tap the . The record button pauses and resumes; it never ends a take, so you can't stop by accident with your thumb in its usual place. The ring around it shows the parts your take is made of.

The pace is wrong and I've already started

Pause, move the Speed slider, then hold Preview speed to watch the script run at the new setting. Let go and it snaps back to the word you paused on, so trying it costs you nothing.
