Choose a supported file

Teleprompter Focus imports plain text (.txt) and Rich Text Format (.rtf). Use TXT for words alone or RTF when you want to bring supported rich-text formatting with them.

PDF, DOC and DOCX are not supported import formats. Export the document as TXT or RTF in its source app, or copy its text into a new script. Renaming a file’s extension does not convert the document.

Import through the iOS share sheet

  1. Find the TXT or RTF file in Files, or open the source app’s file-sharing action.
  2. Share the actual file rather than a web link to it.
  3. Choose Teleprompter Focus. If it is not visible, look under More in the app row.
  4. Review the preview and tap Import to Teleprompter Focusto confirm the import.
  5. Return to Teleprompter Focus and open Scripts to find the imported script.

To import inside the app, open Scripts, tap Import, then Import file. Choose a file, inspect its title, character count and preview, then tap Import to save it.

If the import does not work

  • No app in the share sheet: check that you are sharing a supported file, not a document link or unsupported format.
  • Cloud file unavailable: download or make the file available in its source app first. That provider may need internet access.
  • Unexpected formatting: review the imported script and adjust it in the editor before recording.
  • Long script blocked at recording: importing does not remove the free tier’s 1,000-character recording limit.

Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive and Word instructions in the app explain this handoff. They do not connect a cloud account or keep your script in sync. Once imported, the script is a local copy you can adapt for speaking.
