The patented Parrot Pro Teleprompter is the worlds most portable and affordable teleprompter! Use it in your home studio or take it anywhere you need to film your next video. If you have ever tried to memorize lines for a video, then you know how challenging it can be.

Teleprompters display a script in front of the camera so the actor can read their lines and maintain eye contact with the audience.

Until now teleprompters have been reserved for large budget productions often costing thousands of dollars each. The Parrot Pro teleprompter is a professional quality teleprompter at an affordable price that still delivers a professional quality experience.

Combined with virtually any smartphone, the Parrot Pro Teleprompter will take any script and scroll it in front of you so you no longer need to worry about what to say on camera. It's innovative design removes all the unnecessary components which allows you to mount the Parrot teleprompter directly to a standard DSLR or digital camcorder lens, or mount to any support with a standard 1/4-20 thread. It's compact size makes it easy to throw in your camera bag and take it wherever you go for your next interview, on location news report, documentary, video blog, podcast, corporate video, video tutorial, or speech.

Ratings and reviews

The app is very easy to use and straightforward. The included remote with the padcaster works perfectly with the app not just for controlling text speed but also to navigate through the menus with ease. I would however like to see the screen real estate utilised more. A good portion of the screen is occluded by a pretty useless play button icon on the bottom as well as the menu bar at the top. I wish they went away once the text started scrolling on the prompter so more text can be visible

The update made this app unusable. They completely changed how every single part of it works. Manual script scrolling is clunky, you accidentally change settings when scrolling through settings. The app doesn't go full screen. And the speed setting is ridiculous now. Who do they think is speaking that fast?? I'm BEGGING you to roll back the update.

Apps works strangely on a OnePlus 6. You can start, stop, slow down, speed up, but you simply cannot change margins or text sizes with the remote. Furthermore, after using the app with the remote, the keyboard stops working and some unidentifiable music plays in the background, requiring a reboot every time. Overall, it's generally somewhat useable, but very buggy on some devices.
