Reasons to wait for ClipEasy instead of PromptSmart
The edit is done for you
PromptSmart saves your recording to the Photos app, and its listings do not describe editing it. ClipEasy cuts the pauses, filler, retakes and false starts, adds captions, cleans the audio and tightens the opening, and you can change anything in a few taps.
A teleprompter that keeps up
Skip a line and ClipEasy finds where you are, or you tap the next card. The take stops on its own three seconds after your last line, while VoiceTrack keeps listening until you close the presentation screen.
The cut follows your script
ClipEasy checks the take against your script and keeps the part where you got each line right. Read a line twice and the retake is cut, keeping the attempt where you got the line right, with the audio blended across each cut.
Ten videos, one upload
Filming one scripted video per product? Give ClipEasy up to 10 different takes and it edits all of them while you get on with the next shoot.
What you can film and post with ClipEasy
Product videos in a batch
Give ClipEasy up to 10 raw takes, one for each product, and it edits every one of them while you do something else.
Talking-to-camera ads
Give ClipEasy a raw take with pauses and stumbles left in, and get back an ad with the mistakes cut, captions added and the opening tightened.
Testimonial-style videos
Talk naturally and start over when you need to. ClipEasy removes the retakes and false starts and blends the audio across each cut.
Scripted videos with the teleprompter
Bring your script and read it into the lens. The teleprompter follows your voice, and ClipEasy keeps the take where you got each line right.
Unboxing and first impressions
Film your first reaction in one take. ClipEasy cuts the dead air and filler and adds captions, so the video is ready to post.
Reviews filmed in one go
Record the whole review without stopping. ClipEasy cuts the pauses and false starts and cleans up the audio, and you can adjust anything in a few taps.
PromptSmart
PromptSmart is a teleprompter app built around its patented VoiceTrack scrolling, which moves the script as you speak, stops when you pause or improvise, and resumes when you return to the script. Speech recognition runs on the device, without an internet connection. The PromptSmart+ app can record HD video while you read, and Selfie Mode places the text next to or beneath the front camera. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, with a Studio Edition for Windows and macOS and a web portal for editing scripts and running a remote control room. It markets to public speakers, clergy, educators, salespeople, actors, audiobook narrators and podcasters. Its listings describe reading and recording a script. They do not describe editing the recorded take.
Best for: Presenters, speakers and video creators who want a teleprompter that follows their voice while they read a script on camera, on a phone, tablet, computer or studio rig with two-way glass.
- VoiceTrack scrolls the script as you speak, stops when you pause or go off script, and waits for you to return
- Speech recognition runs on the device and works without an internet connection
- VoiceTrack works in 15 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Hindi

ClipEasy
ClipEasy is an AI video editor for short-form and UGC creators who film talking-to-camera videos and ads for brands. You film a take on your phone or upload one you already have, and ClipEasy finds the mistakes and fixes them. It cuts dead air, pauses and filler, removes retakes and false starts, adds captions, cleans up the audio and blends it across each cut, and tightens your opening, so the video is ready to post. If you want to change something, you edit it yourself in a few taps. It edits up to 10 different videos at once, one per product, and has a teleprompter that follows your voice. It edits your real face and your real footage. ClipEasy is coming soon to iOS and Android, with a waitlist on the homepage.

What PromptSmart users report
Charged for a full month, access cut after 7 days, zero support respons
“Paid for a month-to-month subscription and my credit card was charged the full monthly amount. After only 7 days the subscription expired and the app stopped working completely. I am paying for a product I cannot use. I submitted a detailed support request from inside the app and have also sent emails. It has now been 3 days with absolutely no reply from anyone. This is unacceptable. I spent money expecting a working service for the full month I paid for, and instead I got cut off early with complete silence from customer support. Very poor experience.”
“I canceled my trial before it ended on June 9, but they still charged me. That’s just wrong. What’s the point of a free trial if you take money anyway? I’m really annoyed. I tried contacting support and didn’t get any real help. This feels like a scam. Don’t trust this service. Bad experience.”
“This company may be scamming people because there is now way to cancel your subscription”
