A macOS teleprompter positioned under the camera
getcta is a macOS teleprompter designed to sit in a small panel directly under the MacBook notch and camera. It keeps a script near the lens so people recording videos or presenting on camera can read while keeping their gaze close to the viewer. The panel can remain above other windows, including full-screen apps, and can be resized to narrow, normal, or wide.
The free version provides the core prompter, auto-scroll, hover-to-peek, and hiding from screen sharing. Pro adds voice-follow and AI tools for generating, rewriting, shortening, and revising scripts. Speech recognition for voice-follow runs on the Mac, while connected Notion and Google Drive sources are read-only and local files are read on the Mac.
Features
Voice-follow and scrolling
The prompter can be set to voice-follow, auto-scroll, or manual scrolling. Voice-follow highlights the spoken word, stops when you pause, and can keep pace through small ad-libs and skipped lines.
Screen-share privacy
The prompter is hidden from screen sharing and recordings in Zoom, Meet, OBS, and QuickTime. Hovering reveals the panel, while clicking keeps it open.
Keyboard control
Keyboard shortcuts start or pause the prompter, move to the previous or next sentence, and open an AI request without requiring the mouse.
AI writing and rehearsal tools
Pro users can generate scripts from topics, notes, pasted articles, Notion pages, Google Docs, or local files; rewrite text for speaking, fit it to a target duration, or request a specific change.
Personalized, reversible editing
A Creator Profile stores a channel, audience, speaking style, and words to avoid. AI changes show before-and-after text, can be accepted or rejected, and can be undone.
Use cases
Recording on-camera videos
Keep talking points or a complete script beneath the camera while recording videos. Voice-follow can advance the text as you speak, and the panel is designed not to appear in supported screen shares or recordings.
Turning notes into a timed presentation
Prepare a spoken script from a topic, bullet notes, or a pasted article, then use spoken rewrite or fit-to-time tools to make it easier to deliver within a target length.
Converting existing documents into scripts
Bring in a Notion page or Google Doc as a read-only source, or use a local TXT, Markdown, DOCX, or PDF file to create a script without manually retyping the source.
Rehearsing while working across apps
Use the editor for writing and the notch panel for delivery, with keyboard shortcuts to pause, move between sentences, or request an AI change while another app is in focus.
