Simple Teleprompter

Very good. Would be helpful to be able to apply some basic styles to text, ie. Bold, italic, colour to specific text. This would help key content stand out, which helps when you have to look away and find your place again. Also would be nice if the scroll speed could be slowed down a little more. These improvements would make this a 5 star app. or worth paying for.

I would do 5 star because beside this one issue, I love it. I use this at least once a week for video productions. However, my one issue is that the scroll speed isn't always the same. There are times that it will be scrolling and start slowing down or speeding up. It's very hard to get the speed set. It could be a hardware issue but if if it could you please let me know? The device it's used on is a Nexus 7.

Great app. Works as advertised, without issues. There are lots of settings to tweak how big the fonts are, what style, has spaced out they are, and fast it scrolls. There's a countdown timer to give you a chance to get your bearings, before the script starts scrolling. When you tap the screen, it pauses, when you tap it again, the screen resumes scroll. Also, there's a text editor, for you to type your script in manually, copy and paste from another docuement, or import. Really handy. I'll be using this regularly.

Most useful App!!! I've downloaded this app as teleprompter for video recording. Initially there was an issue whether a local language can be used or not. So I sent an email regarding my queries to the developer of this app, and surprisingly he replied instantly and asked me to made changes in keyboard settings. And it works. I just love this app. 5/5

A teleprompter has one purpose, to display text for a human being to read. The scroll rates are way too fast for the app to be usable. It also doesn't keep the screen from shutting off, so the screen goes black unless you adjust the settings on your phone. There should also be a way to control the speed of the text while in use, another key feature of a teleprompter.

For a free app, its definately a game changer. To have a set list,lyrics at the ready is awesome. No more what chord??? You can add notes to remind you of the little details that make the song better !all that! and Im using the free version.... I mirror my phone to a screen so the whole band can see the app in action. Thank you for this app....

This app is infuriating. The speeds are completely inconsistent and never the same twice. They constantly switch to totally different movement even though its set on the same speed. This app makes filming harder not easier.

It works fine. Two flaws that will make me look for another app: 1. Speed. It's going too fast. It looks like the speed is dependent on the text size. On the slowest speed, text of size 30 is moving super fast while text of size 70 is much slower. Selecting speed shouldn't be a slider, but just a number input field, because I need speeds slower than one with a smaller font, but I can't have both with this app. It's worth noting that I'm on a handheld device, and not a tablet. 2. Connect this app with Google Drive. Copying and pasting text works fine, but if you have a script from a computer, it's annoying to have to convert it to a txt file, download it, and then access it. In the end, an ok app. I've seen worse, but this needs to be better. To be fair, adding a lot of padding between your sentences might help... but you shouldn't have to do that.

I adjust the speed settings. It then starts off too​ fast and then gradually slows down until it's way too slow! I've tried adjusting line spacing, font size and speed but it's getting really frustrating as the speed is never consistent.

In terms of design this app would be perfect but the scroll speed is insanely fast. Even at the slowest seeing with a large font it's impossible to keep up with it. Would be5 starts easily if that were fixed

If it wasn't for the fact that this thing speeds up and slows down constantly this app would be awesome. It does everything that you would want it to do, except for the speeding and slowing down. Because you can't control the speed it makes it almost useless. I hook my mouse up to my tablet and was able to control the scrolling using my mouse scroll wheel, but this was less than ideal because the scrolling is not smooth.

Perfect for needs, easy to use! Only thing I didn't consider, was that I couldn't record using the device I was running the teleprompter on at the same time (hopefully I've just missed something and it can be done). Thanks guys

At the slowest speed it scrolls so fast only John Moschitta could keep up. No matter how good it is otherwise this makes it useless.

A Good Start. Speed is too fast, even at the lowest setting (-1.5 stars.) Scrolling speed is inconsistent, especially with large letters (-0.5 stars.) Built-in file manager is poor. I can't navigate to folders, even on the phone, let alone on the SD card (-1 star.)

Hi, Everybody: This was the first and as of yet only teleprompter I have installed, and now that I have gotten to know all the settings and experimented around, I find it works out ideally for me! Thanks, Julian Shakib, for a WONDERFUL service to the public, John

At first I've stumbled over it thinking it won't work with non-latin characters, but later one of the comments helped - it does work, but txt file have to be saved in unicode... Works like charm!

I would like it but it goes too fast even on the slowest setting. If i speak that fast I will sound like i'm on helium. Can it be slowed down more?

Sure this app is simple and easy to use but when it comes to saving ypur scpirt it reall screws you over. I had typed my whole script up on the app and I accidentally hit the home button on my phone and then I had lost my entire script.

Works well... i liked the fact that it reads local files. some extra features would be nice to have... accessing Google drive files, previewing reading speed as you change it, disabling screen saver, would be very useful features. But for a free app, it's good. Not great, but good.

Way, way too fast. Even at the "slowest" setting, the text scrolls too fast to be read. This app is unusable in it's current configuration.

Would be good but the scroll is way too fast even on the slowest setting. Slow it down and I'll come back but for now this is unusable

I usually don't post a review unless it's something I love... Mr creator thank you very much it's going to help me a lot. Just one thing screen on time depends on default mobiles screen on time wish it was something like a default video app but however that isn't anything I can have my screen on time long and use it. Once again thanks a lot buddy ur the best.

This worked fine for me. It was easy to navigate and figure out how to use. I had no trouble controlling the speed of the text and there are a plethora of options. Overall a really good app! The only suggestion I have is it would be cool if there was a way to highlight the individual words as they were scrolling and being able to adjust a timer for the highlighting. This is a solid app for what it does. If you need a teleprompter without a nag screen or annoying ads. Thanks to the developer!

I am a former TV news anchor/reporter. I have used teleprompters most of my adult life. I now use this app when I perform/officiate weddings. Please, please offer a slower speed to pace the reading. No human alive reads as fast as this scrolls on the slowest number. It's way too fast on 1! If you slow it down I will change my star rating to 5 stars!

You can read it just fine, but the speed at which it scrollable is ridiculously fast even on the slowest settings. If your trying to read it aloud you are speaking like the micro machine guy to keep up. And that's the slowest setting!

Instantly fills the screen with your ideas or speech. Simply paste your text in then stop start slow speed up the scrolling. Watch out for literal Sighs so you don't pull a Hillary

You guys have received multiple complaints about the scroll speed. This is a VERY simple fix at code level so it makes absolutely no sense why you wouldn't implement it. Other than that it's a great app! Will give 5 stars when this is fixed! Thanks!

Between scroll speed, text size, and line spacing -- I had no problem getting the speed where I wanted it. The problem is the speed doesn't stay consistent. It will slow down in the middle of the reading or vary from one play to the next. It's a small thing, but it pretty much makes the app useless.

I tend to agree with speed complaints but more of a problem for me is that there is not readable text for the preview for gauging speed. I cannot easily tell because reading latin is incredibly hard to match speed against. Please add English text or allow setting preview text. Oh, and why can't we open a file from sd card?

Would be perfect if the speed of scrolling didn't wildly vary. Sometimes the slowest speed is too fast and then the next time I use it it's way too slow. Don't know why this is

I appreciate that is free and ready to use but even the slowest speed was too fast. There's no way anyone would use 10 so why not make the slow end of the spectrum even slower?

This looks like the perfect teleprompter app, but even the slowest scrolling speed is way too fast for it to be usable. PLEASE slow down the text!

To all that think it is too fast, just make the font size bigger. The idea is to have less text on screen, so that the movement of the eyes is less obvious for the viewers.

Works great. Took a little experimenting with font size and speed. Speed gets slower as font size increases. Once you figure this out it just takes a little tinkering to get it set for your reading pace. Love it!

I'm using two different tablets and don't get the scrolling speed problems that are commonly reported. It works well for me. Much better than Teleprompter Pro.

This is great, and I used it to give a speech today. Speed level "1" is still too fast, though (as another reviewer has said), and it would be useful if the app suspended the display timeout, which it currently doesn't - would recommend the WAKE_LOCK function for that.

I love this app with the exception that the text speed varies while prompting. This can make it frustrating to use. If that gets fixed, this would be the best Teleprompter for Android.

I'm not a computer whiz, but want to take my blogging to the next level with video content. Aside from some difficulties getting .doc scripts onto the android platform in a file location detectable by the app, it's vey nice. Thanks!

The app does not see my .txt files when i navigate to the folder. Also scrolls WAY TOO FAST even at the lowest speed

Other reviews have stated that this app is unusable because it scrolls too fast. This is not true if you know how to manipulate the controls. If you're using your phone or tablet, the scroll speed is the same upright as it is if the screen is tilted sideways. It takes allot longer to read sideways as the text is longer. You can either keep it upright or adjust the font size up to slow it down (in addition to the in app scroll speed). You can also write in pauses and simply swipe down to get back to any text
