Best teleprompter app for iPhone
Short answer: pick by the job. If you need remotes, a mirrored rig or Apple Watch control, choose a dedicated prompter such as Teleprompter Pro. If you want to write, read, record, cut silences, caption and export a talking video in one app, choose Reelvana.

What to look for
- Scroll control. A speed you can set, or scrolling that follows your voice.
- Recording in the same app. Switching between a prompter and the camera app costs you takes.
- What happens after you record. Cutting dead air and adding captions is where most of the time goes.
- Price. Free tiers differ a lot, and some apps are subscription-only.

Reelvana
Reelvana is a script-first recording studio. You write a script (AI help is optional), read it from a floating teleprompter while you record in HD, then cut quiet gaps and filler words, burn in captions and export. On iPhone the teleprompter can follow your voice. Your music keeps playing while you film. Recording, editing, on-device captions and export run on the phone, and the video is never uploaded. It is a phone app, not a rig tool: remotes and mirrored output are not a focus. More: free teleprompter app, teleprompter that follows your voice.
Teleprompter Pro (formerly Teleprompter Premium)
Made by Teleprompter Apps Ltd. Its listing names iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision and Apple Watch, plus remotes, game controllers, mirroring, AirPlay display and file import (PDF, Word, PowerPoint). Choose it if you shoot with a rig and edit elsewhere. Full comparison: Reelvana vs Teleprompter Premium.
Teleprompter for Video
Made by Norton Five Ltd. Its listing shows voice-assisted scrolling, Bluetooth remote and Apple Watch control, 4K recording, auto captions and AI script writing. A strong pick if you only shoot on Apple devices and want a deep prompter.
Which should you choose?
You record often and edit every video: Reelvana, because the cleanup and captions after the take are where the hours go.
You use a rig, remote or Apple Watch: Teleprompter Pro or Teleprompter for Video.
You are on Android too: Reelvana. The other two list Apple devices only.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best teleprompter app for iPhone?
It depends on the job. For remotes, mirrored rigs, a second display or Apple Watch control, Teleprompter Pro (formerly Teleprompter Premium) or Teleprompter for Video are deep prompters. For scripting, reading, recording, cutting silence, captioning and exporting in one app, Reelvana is the better fit.
Is there a free teleprompter app for iPhone?
Yes. Reelvana is free to use with no account needed, and the teleprompter, recording, on-device captions and 1080p export are in the free tier. Teleprompter Pro is free to download with in-app purchases. Teleprompter for Video is free for scripts up to 750 characters.
Which iPhone teleprompter follows my voice?
Reelvana's Follow mode listens with the on-device speech model and scrolls as you read. It falls back to timed scroll if there is no microphone or model. Teleprompter for Video lists voice-assisted scrolling too.
Can I record with the teleprompter and add captions in the same app?
In Reelvana, yes. The teleprompter overlay runs while you record, then you cut silences and filler words, burn in captions and export. Teleprompter Pro lists recording and auto captions that export as .srt files.
Does Reelvana upload my video?
No. Recording, editing, on-device captions, silence cleanup and export run on the phone. Cloud captions send the audio, AI script writing sends your topic, and Vana (Pro) can send a spoken command. None of them sends your video.
