Perfect eye contact
With glass, the words sit on the lens axis: no glance below the camera at all.
Mirror mode for teleprompter glass
Put your iPhone under a beam-splitter rig and flip the text: it reads the right way round in the glass, straight in front of the lens.
How it works
Turn on Mirror text
In the reading settings, one switch flips the card.
Lay the iPhone under the glass
The text reflects in the angled glass in front of the camera.
Read straight into the lens
Your eyes are exactly where the camera is.
Why it matters
Works with cheap rigs
Any beam-splitter teleprompter that holds a phone will do.
Voice follow still works
The mirrored card follows your voice and scrolls just the same.
FAQ
Do I need a rig for SmoothCue?
No. Most people read straight from the iPhone screen under the front camera. Mirror mode is for those who own a glass rig.
Can I build a rig myself?
Yes: see our DIY teleprompter guide.
