If you use a dedicated camera to shoot your videos, then you can buy a teleprompter kit for $100 or make your own DIY kit for free by upscaling old items. Your videos look good, the audio sounds excellent, and it always seems like you're looking at the camera. Importantly, Video Teleprompter does the basics well.

One big turn-off with the free version is that it adds a watermark to all videos you'll need to upgrade to Pro ($16.99 one-time purchase) for watermark-free videos, script importing, keyboard and Apple Watch control, and rich text export. Video Teleprompter also has a countdown timer before starting the video, which is a small but crucial feature to make more professional-looking videos. Unfortunately, you can't import scripts, but copy-paste works perfectly, and you can add cue points. The text box automatically orients itself next to the camera in both portrait and landscape mode.

There are plenty of paid options, but the lite version of Video Teleprompter is good enough for most people. Unlike Android, you can't get widgets overlaid on any third-party app using a camera on an iPhone or iPad, so you'll need a video recorder app with a teleprompter. The app works fantastically well and can even be controlled with Bluetooth keyboards or other third-party accessories. Speechway lets you turn your script into "pages" for easier breaks, add cue points (like bookmarks), and save the script to reuse for later. The scripts themselves are easy to make, especially since you can import files from Google Docs or any TXT or DOC file on your Android. Adjusting opacity, font style, and font color are premium options. Adjust the speed and size of the text freely, and go through all the various options to customize it. You can adjust the widget's position and size anywhere on the screen (keeping it closer to the camera is better, as you look as if you're talking into the camera). The widget mode is the most interesting one. Camera mode uses the camera within the app, while widget mode overlays your script as a widget on any app for live streaming or recording.

The classic mode turns your phone into a dedicated teleprompter rig to be used with a camera. Speechway has three modes: classic, camera, and widget.
