About Tellie
Problem: You're recording a video or presenting on Zoom and your eyes keep darting to notes off-screen. Existing teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed, require internet, show up when you share your screen, or cost $15-59/month.
Solution: Tellie, the Mac teleprompter that listens - and understands. It follows you as you speak and lights up each word as you say it - and nothing ever leaves your Mac. Because Tellie understands what you're saying it also knows what you didn't say, coaching you along, entirely unprompted. You now have your own personal stagehand.
Tellie understands the take you are giving. It checks off the points you promised to make, gives you credit when you make them in your own words, warns you when time is about to run out on something important, and tells you afterward what you missed. It stays invisible to Zoom and screen recorders, and everything runs on your Mac.
Working actors are using it, including Sprague Theobald (Law & Order, Only Murders in the Building, FBI, Poker Face), who uses Tellie for audition prep. NEW: Presenter Mode (Pro). It listens while you pitch, too. Just present in Keynote, and your speakers notes automagically appear in the notch, invisible to your audience and your recording. With voice-follow, as you finish your thought, your next slide is already there. No clicker, no keyboard, no second monitor required.
Why is it special? Every other teleprompter app, including the voice-follow ones, tracks where you are in the text. Tellie tracks what the take still owes: the marked sections you have covered, the ones you skipped, and whether the clock still allows them. That is a different job from scrolling.
What Tellie does that nothing else does
Tellie understands each take you are giving: checks off points you need to make, lets you ad-lib at will, warns you before time runs out on an important point, and tells you what you missed when done.
Who Tellie is for
Tellie is for anyone who presents anything, especially Video Creators, Actors, Meetings, Sales, Speakers and Teachers. Stop looking down at your notes and look up at your audience
