PromptSmart
PromptSmart is a cross-platform video production suite centered on teleprompter software. Its VoiceTrack feature follows a script as you speak, pauses when you stop or improvise, and resumes when you return to the text. The company says speech processing happens locally on the device and does not need an internet connection. Scripts can be drafted or edited in the My PromptSmart portal and synced across devices; listed cloud sources include iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box. For session control, PromptSmart offers a mobile Remote Control app and a browser-based control room. Starter Pack includes one remote-control session, while Team supports multiple sessions. The portal can create unlimited duplicate displays, but this feature requires internet access. The company says its iOS and Android apps can record video in 4K. PromptSmart lists public speakers, educators, actors, clergy, audiobook narrators, salespeople, influencers, and corporate users among the audiences it serves. Starter Pack costs $9.99 a month, and Team costs $19.99 a month. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting the company. A 7-day trial is offered, with no free plan.
