QuietCueFree online teleprompter that runs in your browser
QuietCue scrolls your script at a steady pace while you read to camera. No account, no install, and your scripts never leave your device.
What it does
QuietCue is a teleprompter for video, talks and presentations. Write or import a script, set the speed in words per minute, and read from a steady scroll with a guide that shows where you are. You can record yourself, let your voice drive the scroll, or run it from your phone.
It works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone, with a mouse, a keyboard, a presentation clicker or a foot pedal. It is built for teleprompter rigs too: mirror the text and the reflection reads correctly.
Features
- Saved scripts
- Write or paste scripts and keep them in a library in your browser.
- Import and export
- Open .txt, .md and .docx files. Back up your whole library as one file.
- Speed in words per minute
- Set the pace in wpm and watch the time remaining. Changing the text size keeps the pace.
- Typography and colours
- Five typefaces including OpenDyslexic, adjustable size, spacing and width, and four colour schemes plus custom colours.
- Reading guide
- A line, arrows or a band marks where to read. Move it up or down and dim the rest.
- Countdown
- Start after a 3, 5 or 10 second countdown so you are ready on camera.
- Mirror mode
- Flip the text horizontally or vertically for teleprompter glass. The controls are never flipped.
- Fullscreen
- Fill the screen with the script, and keep the display awake while you read.
- Keyboard, clicker and foot pedal
- Every action has a key. Presentation clickers and Bluetooth foot pedals work as they send standard keys.
- Camera recording
- Record camera and microphone while you read, then download the take as MP4 or WebM.
- Voice follow
- The script scrolls as you speak and waits when you stop. Chrome, Edge and Safari.
- Phone remote
- Scan a QR code and run play, pause and speed from your phone.
- Offline and installable
- Works without internet after the first visit. Install it as an app.
- Private by default
- No account, no cookies, no analytics. Scripts, settings and recordings stay on your device.
How to use it
- Write or paste your script, or import a .txt, .md or .docx file.
- Open the script in the prompter.
- Set the speed in words per minute, the text size and the colours. Turn on mirror mode if you use teleprompter glass.
- Press Space to start. The countdown runs, then the text scrolls. Use the arrow keys to change speed.
- Record a take, switch on voice follow, or hand control to your phone.
The guide covers script markup, the settings, mirror rigs and troubleshooting.

Questions
Is QuietCue free?
Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no watermark. Everything runs in your browser, so there is nothing to pay for.
Are my scripts uploaded anywhere?
No. Scripts and settings are stored in your browser on your own device. QuietCue has no server that receives them. Clearing your site data deletes them, so export a backup if they matter.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After your first visit the app is cached by your browser and opens without a connection. You can also install it as an app. The phone remote and cloud voice recognition need internet.
Can I use it with a beam-splitter teleprompter or a mirror rig?
Yes. Turn on horizontal mirroring so the reflected text reads correctly, or vertical mirroring for rigs that need it. Only the script is mirrored; the controls stay readable.
Does voice follow send my voice to a server?
QuietCue never receives your audio. Voice follow uses your browser's speech recognition. Where the browser can run it on your device (Chrome with a language pack), nothing leaves the device. Otherwise the browser may use its vendor's cloud speech service, and QuietCue asks for your agreement before it starts. Voice follow works in Chrome, Edge and Safari, not Firefox.
Can I control the prompter from my phone?
Yes. Open the phone remote in the prompter, scan the QR code with your phone, and use it as a remote control for play, pause, speed, sections and recording. Both devices need internet, and the prompter tab must stay in the foreground. Only control commands and numeric status pass through the relay, never your script.
Which browsers work?
The prompter, script library, import and export, and offline use work in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile. Camera recording works in all of them with HTTPS and your permission. Fullscreen is not available for web pages on iPhone; add QuietCue to your Home Screen instead.
