A CuePrompter alternative that also records

A cue prompter scrolls text in the browser and stops there. This prompter does the same job — paste, set a speed, read — then adds camera recording and voice control on top. No account, no install, no sign-up.

Everything CuePrompter does

Full-screen scrolling with adjustable speed, font size, colors, and mirror text for beam-splitter glass — the same core workflow the CuePrompter teleprompter offers, in any browser.

What CuePrompter cannot do

Overlay the script on a live camera preview and record video in the same tab. CuePrompter has no recording mode, so you would normally need a second app running alongside it.

Hands-free scrolling

Say "next", "previous", "pause", or "restart" to control scrolling hands-free while recording — no tapping needed.

How to switch from CuePrompter

If you already use CuePrompter, the workflow is the same — three steps and nothing to learn.

1. Paste your script

Click the Script button in the top bar and paste the same text you would drop into a cue prompter. Any length works — a 30-second product pitch or a 45-minute lecture script are handled the same way.

2. Choose your mode

Pick Teleprompter for the plain scrolling CuePrompter gives you, or Recording to capture video with the script on screen. Switch between modes at any time.

3. Set speed and layout

Adjust scroll speed from 10 to 500 WPM, set font size, line spacing, text color, and background color. Drag the text overlay to sit at the right spot relative to your camera.

Where CuePrompter users hit a wall

Three situations come up repeatedly in CuePrompter workflows. Each one is handled here without leaving the tab.

Recording a take

With CuePrompter you run the prompter in one window and a recorder in another, then sync them afterwards. Recording mode here puts the script over a live camera preview and captures the take in one place.

Losing the script

CuePrompter holds your text for the session. Close the tab or reload at the wrong moment and it is gone. Scripts here persist in local browser storage between visits.

Reaching for the keyboard

Pausing a CuePrompter scroll means stepping out of frame to hit a key. Voice commands — next, previous, pause, restart — let you stay on camera, or use the free native app on Apple devices.

CuePrompter vs this prompter, feature by feature

Both are free browser tools with no paywall. These are the functional differences that decide which one fits your workflow.

Is there a CuePrompter download or app?

A common search, and the short answer is no — which is worth knowing before you go hunting for an installer.

CuePrompter has no download

There is no CuePrompter app and no installer. It is a website: you open cueprompter.com in a browser, paste your text, and it scrolls. That is deliberate and it is why it loads on a borrowed laptop or a conference room PC in seconds. It also means there is nothing to fall back on when the connection drops.

Spelling does not change the tool

You will see it written as one word, as a cue prompter, or as a cue teleprompter. All three refer to the same thing — a screen that scrolls a script near the lens so you can read while looking at the camera. British English tends to prefer autocue for the same device.

When a downloadable app helps

If you record regularly, a native app stores scripts on the device and keeps working offline. That is the one job a browser cue prompter cannot do. The free app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac covers it, and this browser version stays available when you are on someone else's machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you start reading.

Is there a CuePrompter app to download?

No. CuePrompter is browser-only — there is no installer and no mobile app. If you want a cue prompter you can download, the free Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts app covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, stores scripts on the device, and works with no internet connection.

Is a cue prompter the same as a teleprompter?

Yes. Cue prompter, cue teleprompter, and teleprompter all describe the same thing: a screen that scrolls your script near the camera lens so you can read while keeping your eyes forward. Autocue is the British English term for the same device.

Is CuePrompter free, and is this free too?

Both are free. CuePrompter is free at cueprompter.com with no account, and this is free with no account, no email, and no sign-up, and no paywall or premium tier. The difference is scope: CuePrompter scrolls text only, while this prompter also records video and responds to voice commands.

Does it work on Windows like CuePrompter?

Yes. Open this page in Chrome or Edge on any Windows PC or laptop, press F11 for full screen, and position your monitor near your camera. Nothing to download — the same zero-install workflow CuePrompter users expect.

Can I use it on Android and mobile?

Yes. It works in Chrome on any Android phone or tablet. For a home-screen shortcut, open the Chrome menu and choose "Add to Home Screen" — it launches full-screen like a native app.

Can I record video? CuePrompter cannot.

Yes — this is the main functional gap. CuePrompter displays a scrolling script but has no camera or recording mode, so you need a separate recorder running beside it. Here you switch to Recording mode, the script overlays a 16:9 camera preview, and video is captured in the same tab. Recordings save locally to your device; nothing is uploaded.

What does CuePrompter do better?

CuePrompter is deliberately minimal, and that is a real advantage if all you need is scrolling text on a shared studio machine — there is nothing to configure and it has been stable for years. If you only rehearse and never record, the extra modes here are not something you will use. For a full feature comparison see our CuePrompter review.

How do I mirror the text for a glass autocue rig?

Use the flip horizontal button in the text controls. This reverses the text so it reads correctly when reflected off a beam-splitter glass panel in front of your camera lens — the standard setup for broadcast and studio autocue hardware.

Is there a free teleprompter app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

Yes. Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts is the free native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It adds Camera mode with direct video recording, offline use with no internet connection, and voice control. The browser version at this page works on any device; the native app is faster and more reliable for Apple users.
