PromptSmart: the voice-activated teleprompter app, reviewed

A teleprompter that keeps up when you skip

ClipEasy's teleprompter follows your voice and keeps up if you skip a line. It finds your line, or you tap the next card. The take stops three seconds after your last line. Coming soon to iOS and Android.

ClipEasy edits the take, not just the read

ClipEasy cuts pauses, filler, retakes and false starts, adds captions, cleans the audio, blends it across each cut and tightens the opening. PromptSmart saves the raw recording to Photos.

Up to 10 videos edited at once

Film one scripted take per product. ClipEasy edits up to 10 different videos at once while you do something else, keeps the take where you got each line right, and lets you change anything in a few taps.

PromptSmart's VoiceTrack scrolling

VoiceTrack scrolls as you speak, stops when you pause or improvise, and resumes when you return. It runs on the device in 15 languages. A reviewer reports it caught up about 80% of the time after going off script.

HD recording and Selfie Mode

PromptSmart+ records HD video while you read, and Selfie Mode keeps the text beside the front camera. The app store listing recommends an external wired microphone with VoiceTrack.

Phone, desktop and studio glass

PromptSmart runs today on iPhone, iPad and Android, with a Studio Edition for Windows and macOS, text inversion for two-way glass and a web Remote Control Room.

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.

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.”
