SmoothCue vs Teleprompter Pro
Short answer. Teleprompter Pro, from the makers of Teleprompter and Video Teleprompter, is built for rigs: mirroring, external displays, keyboards, remotes and game controllers, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Its listing describes speed-based scrolling and a Pro upgrade sold once or as a subscription. SmoothCue is built for reading straight to the iPhone camera, with the text following your voice.
Choose SmoothCue if…
- You film yourself on iPhone and lose your place with a fixed speed.
- You want the text to wait when you pause, and to tap a word to jump back.
- You like cue cards rather than one long scroll.
Choose Teleprompter Pro if…
- You read from a glass rig or an external display.
- You drive the scroll with a remote, pedal or controller.
- You also prompt from iPad or Mac.
