yPrompt offers five ways to move through a script. Choosing the right teleprompter scroll mode makes delivery feel natural instead of rushed or robotic.
Auto
Continuous scroll at a speed you set. Best for rehearsed talks, livestreams, and anyone who likes a steady pace. Start slightly slower than you speak — you can always speed up.
Tap
Advance line by line with a tap. Ideal for interviews, Q&A, and meetings where you pause often. You stay in control without fighting a moving window.
Voice (Pro)
Scroll follows your speech using on-device microphone input. Great for one-take camera recordings and presentations where your hands are busy. See the voice-controlled teleprompter guide.
Camera (Pro)
Record video while the script scrolls — the teleprompter isn’t visible in the final footage. Built for creators filming on iPhone or iPad.
Timed
Set a target duration and let yPrompt pace the scroll to finish on time. Useful for ads, timed segments, and talks with a hard stop.
