Free teleprompter for YouTube.
Read with your camera behind the script so your eyes stay on the lens. Voice Follow keeps up with your pace. Record the take in the same tab and download it with no watermark.
Free plan · No download · No account · Nothing uploaded
ScrollCue is a free browser teleprompter for YouTube creators. The prompter is free. Pro adds recording with your camera behind the script and the words composited into the video, plus Voice Follow, which advances the script at your speaking pace.
The solo shoot, without the friction
The whole reason a talking-head video looks read is that the script is somewhere the camera is not. ScrollCue Pro puts your live camera behind the script, so you are looking at your own face and at the lens simultaneously. That is the same trick a glass rig performs with mirrors, minus the glass.
Then Voice Follow means you never touch the speed control mid-take, so your hands are still and your eyes stay put. And recording happens in the same tab, which removes the OBS setup, the scene, the audio routing, and the file wrangling that sits between having a script and having a video.

Pro

Why the burned-in script is a feature and not a bug
First reaction is usually alarm. Then you edit a forty-minute recording session and realise you can see exactly what was being said in any frame, without scrubbing audio to find the take where you finally got that sentence right. For anyone cutting long-form, it turns raw footage into something you can read.
The day pass is designed for exactly this
You have a video to shoot this week. You want recording and Voice Follow for it. You do not want a subscription you will forget about. Pay $4.99, use everything for twenty-four hours, and go back to the free prompter afterwards. If you shoot weekly, the annual plan is obviously cheaper, and you can do that maths yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free teleprompter for YouTube?
Yes. The core prompter, sections, presenter notes, and every display control are free with no account. Recording and Voice Follow are Pro, at $4.99 a day or $99 a year.
Do I need OBS?
Not for a single-camera talking-head video. ScrollCue Pro records in the same browser tab. Use OBS when you need multiple sources, and ScrollCue can key its script over your OBS scene if you want both.
Does the recording have a watermark?
No. The file saves to your device unmodified.
Is the script visible in my recorded video?
Yes, that is intentional. The words are composited in with the current one highlighted, which makes navigating the footage in an edit much faster.
How do I stop looking like I am reading?
Put the script as close to the lens as you can, which the camera background does for free, and let Voice Follow handle the pace so your eyes are not hunting. Those two things fix most of it.
