It follows where you go.
No timer to guess at, no speed dial to nudge. Start speaking and the words come to you. Pause, and it waits. Wander off-script and it picks you back up when you return.
Voice-following teleprompter for Mac
The teleprompter that waits for you.
TalkOver listens while you read and moves the script to match you. Pause to think and it waits. Go back over a line and it goes back with you. Prefer a steady scroll, or to drive it yourself? Both still work.
Buy it once, use it forever. No subscription. Nothing you say leaves your Mac.

Voice-following
Read it your way.
Switch mid-take between voice-following, a steady timed crawl, or driving it yourself with the arrow keys. Voice-following is powerful, not mandatory.
Keep your prompt over the call.
Floating Prompt drops a transparent script over Zoom, Meet, Teams, Keynote, or your browser. Park it under your camera and share the meeting window — the rest of your screen stays clean.
Record yourself while you read.
Camera Take puts your camera behind the script so you're on the lens, not on your notes. Good for tutorials, demos, and updates — the finished video saves straight to your Mac, clean.

Before you ask
Quick answers
What happens after the 30-day trial?
TalkOver stops prompting. Nothing is deleted and your scripts stay exactly where they were on your Mac.
Does it work in my language?
Voice-following understands English. Timed and manual scrolling work with a script in any language.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Speech recognition runs on your Mac. It works with the Wi-Fi off.
Will it run on my Mac?
Apple Silicon only — M1 or later, macOS 11+. Intel Macs aren't supported.
About
Why TalkOver?
We built TalkOver because the online tools that follow your voice charge a monthly fee and send your audio to the cloud. This one runs on your Mac, costs once, and is yours for good.
