SmoothCue vs PromptSmart Pro
Short answer. Both scroll with your voice. PromptSmart Pro is a $29.99 app whose VoiceTrack works in English only, with remote control and file sync in an optional subscription. SmoothCue follows your voice in 12 languages, shows the script on cue cards under the camera, and lets you try a full take before paying.
