How to make the script scroll with your voice
On iPhone, the teleprompter can follow your speech: the text moves forward when you talk and waits when you pause.

Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
With the fixed pace, the text scrolls on its own and you follow along. With the voice-follow option, it's the opposite: the app listens to what you say and moves the script along with your speech. If you pause to breathe, it waits.
Before you start
- Available on iPhone. On Android, the script scrolls at the chosen pace.
- Your phone will ask for permission to listen to your voice, in addition to the camera and microphone.
- Works best in a quiet place and when the script is spoken as written.
Step by step
- Step 1:
On the recording screen, tap Teleprompter to open the settings.
- Step 2:
Turn on Follow my voice.
- Step 3:
Your phone will ask for permission to recognize your speech. Tap Allow.
- Step 4:
Close the settings and tap Record. The screen shows Following your voice and the text moves forward as you speak.
How to know it worked
During recording, "Following your voice" appears and the script follows your speech, without running ahead.
If something goes wrong
"No voice permission · scrolling at fixed pace" appears.
Speech recognition permission was denied. Turn it on in your phone's settings, on the Cognizy page. In the meantime, the script scrolls at a fixed pace.
"Didn't hear your voice · scrolling at fixed pace" appears.
Speak closer to the phone or move to a quieter place. The app switches back to the fixed pace so the recording doesn't stop.
"Voice stopped · scrolling at fixed pace" appears.
Recognition dropped out midway. The recording continues at the fixed pace; record another take if you prefer.
I don't see the Follow my voice option.
It's only available on iPhone. On Android, adjust the Pace.
