Questions we get a lot

Perch is a compact, movable presenter with its own reading and recording controls. Hover keeps the main prompt over another app and lets clicks pass through the script area. Both support Talk Over, Auto Scroll, and Manual. Explore the features and screenshots.

Regularly $39.99; currently $24.99 for the limited-time launch sale. One purchase, not a subscription.

TalkOver stops prompting. That's all it does — nothing is deleted, nothing is locked, and every script stays exactly where it was. Install the full version and your library is waiting.

Purchase through Payhip, download the Full installer, and replace the Trial app in Applications. Open TalkOver and activate it with your purchase license. Your library and settings are stored separately from the app and remain available.

Yes. A Full license covers two Macs. You can keep scripts local on each Mac, or choose a Finder-visible cloud folder for a shared TalkOver library. Save and close on one Mac, let the provider sync, then continue on the other.

English and French are included. You can also download German, Russian, Dutch, or Swedish on each Mac. Non-English voice following is beta; if it misses words or loses your place, switch to Manual or Auto Scroll. Choose the script language before presenting.

Your scripts, speech recognition, and camera recordings stay on your Mac. Voice following works offline. Downloads, Full license activation, selected language downloads, optional update checks, support submissions, and a cloud provider you deliberately choose for a shared library use the internet.

TalkOver runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or later), with macOS 11 or later; macOS 13 or later is recommended. To check your Mac, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. Look for the Chip entry. Intel Macs are not supported.

Yes! We've built in mirroring (both horizontal and vertical) so if you're using a teleprompter with a built-in screen or one that uses a monitor to display the image, this will work perfectly. If you're using an external monitor with TalkOver, just set it to mirror your main monitor.

Enable update checks in TalkOver Settings, or check for updates yourself. Download the correct Trial or Full installer, quit TalkOver, open the disk image, and drag the app into Applications to replace the existing copy. Updating a trial keeps its original 30-day expiry. Your scripts and settings are stored separately from the app.

We built the 30-day free trial so you could use TalkOver for free and be sure it's right for you, and priced the full version so it's easy to say yes to. Because of that, we don't offer refunds once you've bought it. But if you're really unhappy for some reason, email us (See Contact) and let's talk. We don't like it when people are upset.

TalkOver does not upload your scripts, speech recognition or recordings. They are saved locally. If you choose a folder managed by iCloud or another sync service, that service follows your own sync settings.

We keep the current feature set and release notes on this site. If you have an idea or a workflow you would like to see supported, send it through the Contact page. We read every message.

Anyone who bought TalkOver 1 will get a VIP discount on the new version, and your current version never stops working. We don't know what the discount will be, because we have no idea what the price will be yet — but we'll take care of our users.

If you have a problem, let us know through the form on the Contact page. If you have a request, please use the same form. We love requests — adding new features is great, so don't hold back. You might not get a reply on new feature suggestions, but we add all of them to our product roadmap.
