What voice-follow does

Voice-follow matches recognised speech to your script and advances the reading position as you speak. It is designed for reading the written script; long ad-libs, repeated passages and background voices can make matching less reliable.

Speech processing runs on your iPhone. Availability depends on the script language, speech permissions and on-device recognition support. The app does not fall back to uploading your audio to a cloud recogniser.

Voice-follow requires an eligible trial or active subscription. See Subscription & Free Tier.

Start voice-follow

  1. Load a non-empty script into the camera.
  2. Open Tools and tap Voice.
  3. Allow speech recognition and microphone access when iOS asks.
  4. Read the script aloud and check that the text follows before starting a full take.

The dock shows Voice while voice-follow is active. Tap the Voice tool again to stop it. Use Pause prompting in Tools if you need to suspend the script while keeping the recording running.

Switch back to fixed speed

There is no user-adjustable responsiveness setting. If voice-follow does not suit a particular script, stop it and use the words-per-minute control for a predictable pace. Fixed-speed prompting remains useful when rehearsing, speaking over music or delivering a heavily improvised take.

See Prompter Controls for speed and layout adjustments.

Help it track your voice

  • Rehearse in a quiet space without nearby conversation or music.
  • Use the microphone you intend to record with and check it in Tools → Mic.
  • Speak clearly at a comfortable pace and stay reasonably close to the script.
  • Try a short passage first, especially when changing language or audio equipment.

If voice-follow is unavailable or loses its place

  • No Voice control: load a script with text first.
  • A subscription screen appears: the feature is locked for the current entitlement. Review your subscription or restore purchases.
  • A permission error appears: check Teleprompter microphone and speech-recognition access in iPhone Settings.
  • Recognition is unavailable: on-device speech support may be unavailable for the current language or device setup. Follow the app error and use fixed-speed prompting meanwhile.
  • The text stalls or jumps: reduce competing noise, check the selected mic and read closer to the script. Use manual prompting if alignment remains unreliable.

A speech-recognition failure does not itself stop the video take. Check the recording timer and tap Stop when you want to finish.
