See it work
Twelve things it does well. If something's missing, tell us. Request a feature
Voice scrolling
Scrolls as you speak and pauses when you pause. No clicker, no pedal, no keyboard.
Always on top
Floats above every window, including full-screen Keynote and Zoom.
Transparent window
Dial the opacity so you can read the script without blocking what's behind it.
60+ languages
Apple's on-device recognition, with the language detected from your script.
Script library
Keep your last 100 scripts. Search, edit, copy and relaunch in a click.
Presenter notes
Anything in [square brackets] is shown to you but skipped by voice tracking.
Follows your cursor
Snap the window to your pointer so the script is always where you're looking.
Menu bar quick access
Start from clipboard, switch modes and tweak settings without opening a window.
Fully customisable
Fonts, size, colours, margins, line spacing, active line position and scroll speed.
Audio input selection
Pick any microphone and watch the level meter to confirm it's hearing you.
Dark & light
Glass or solid background, dark or light, so it reads well on any desktop.
Three ways to scroll
Pick the mode that fits the moment.
Voice scrolling
Follows your speech word by word in 60+ auto-detected languages. Pause, ad-lib or backtrack — it stays with you.
Sound scrolling
Scrolls while your mic hears you and pauses when you go quiet. No speech recognition, so it works in any language.
Constant speed
A classic steady crawl at the pace you set. No microphone needed.

Send a reviewFrequently asked questions
How does voice scrolling work?
gotoprompter uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to hear what you say and match it against your script in real time. Everything happens on your Mac; no audio is ever sent anywhere. It works offline.
Will the window show up during screen sharing or recordings?
No. The window is excluded from screen capture by macOS, so it stays invisible in FaceTime, Zoom and Teams and every other conferencing or recording app, including QuickTime, OBS and Loom. This is a system-level exclusion, not a trick that can break mid-call. We still recommend a 10-second test before an important session.
Which apps does it work with?
All of them. gotoprompter runs alongside FaceTime, Zoom and Teams and any other app on your Mac — conferencing, screen recorders, presentation tools, streaming software. It needs no plug-ins and no account authorisation.
Where do I write my scripts?
Wherever you already write — Google Docs, Apple Notes, Notion, Obsidian. Copy the text, click Start from clipboard in the menu bar, and the window opens with the script loaded. The app also keeps your last 100 scripts.
Can I add notes I don't want to read out loud?
Yes. Put them in square brackets — [pause], [smile], [switch slide]. They're displayed in a different style and skipped by voice tracking.
What if my script mixes languages?
Put the foreign words in square brackets and recognition skips them, so the sync holds while you keep speaking your main language. For a whole script in another language, the app detects it and switches recognizers automatically.
Can I jump to a specific part of the script?
Yes. Click any word and the prompter continues from exactly there. Voice commands (go back, go next, go start, go finish) do the same hands-free.
Does background noise break it?
Normal office noise, keyboard sounds and other people on the call are fine. Very loud environments can confuse any speech recognizer; a headset or a directional mic fixes it, and Sound or Constant scrolling are there as fallbacks.
Does it work with multiple displays?
Yes. Put the window on any display. With extended displays it appears only on the one you place it on. With mirrored displays it appears on both — so for calls where you share a screen, use extend mode.
Is my data private?
Yes. Scripts and audio never leave your Mac. The app contacts the internet only to validate your license and check for updates.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
Is the app free?
It's free to use with up to 3 custom scripts, each with unlimited words and sessions, plus a demo script. If you need more scripts, upgrade to Pro (yearly) or buy Lifetime once.
How do I read naturally on a video call?
Put the window as close to your webcam as possible, make the font big enough to read at a glance, set the opacity so the call stays visible behind it, and let voice scrolling do the work so your hands and eyes stay still.
Do I need an account or a plug-in for FaceTime, Zoom and Teams?
No. gotoprompter is a standalone Mac app. There is nothing to connect, authorise or install inside FaceTime, Zoom and Teams.
