Teleprompter for Mac
Teleprompter for Mac: Recito, Speakflow and CuePrompter
Three ways to read a script on a Mac, side by side.
CuePrompter is a free teleprompter in the browser. Speakflow runs in the browser and as a desktop app, with voice scrolling and team features. Recito is a native Mac app that records the video with the script under the camera. Here is what each one's own site says.
Free to start. No account. Recito Pro is a one-time purchase.
Who Recito is for
You record yourself at a desk
Recito for Mac shows the script under the camera over the live picture, in a resizable window, and records the take from the Mac's camera.
You want it to work offline
Recito runs entirely on the Mac, with no account and no network. Voice-following runs on the Mac too.
You also record on iPhone or iPad
It is the same app on all three, and one Recito Pro purchase covers them.

What Speakflow does well
What CuePrompter does well
What Recito does differently
A native Mac app, offline
Recito is a real resizable Mac window, not a browser tab, and it works with no network at all. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected".
It records the take
The script sits high under the camera over the live picture while Recito records. Pause mid-script, resume on the same word, and get one video.
Voice-following without a meter
The script follows your voice for as long as you read, in the free version, with recognition on the Mac.
Also on iPhone and iPad
Scripts, folders and takes work the same on all three, and one one-time purchase covers them.

Is there a free teleprompter for Mac?
Recito for Mac is free to download, with voice-following and recording included; free scripts go up to 750 characters and saved videos carry a small watermark. If you only need a script to scroll in the browser, Recito also has a free online teleprompter at recito.suprun.ca/online-teleprompter.
