About Textream

Textream is a free, open-source teleprompter that guides you through your script with three modes: word tracking (highlights each word as you say it), classic (constant-speed auto-scroll), and voice-activated (scrolls while you speak, pauses when you're silent). The Mac app displays your text in a sleek Dynamic Island-style overlay, a draggable floating window, or fullscreen on a Sidecar iPad. The iPhone and iPad app adds near-camera reading and presenter-only camera recording.
