Shootsolo
Shootsolo is a voice-controlled video camera and teleprompter app for solo creators filming on iPhone or Android. It supports hands-free recording, script reading, portrait and landscape capture, external microphones, Bluetooth shutters, and offline use.
Hands-free filming for solo creators
Shootsolo is a voice-controlled video camera app and teleprompter for people who film themselves without a camera operator. It lets creators start and stop takes by speaking, review footage in the app, and choose whether to save or discard each take.
The app combines hands-free recording with a built-in teleprompter, portrait and landscape capture, camera effects, lighting controls, and support for external microphones and Bluetooth shutter remotes. It works offline on iPhone and Android, so the core recording workflow does not depend on an internet connection.
Features
Built-in teleprompter
Read a script on screen while filming, with adjustable scroll speed and text size to help keep delivery on message.
Portrait and landscape recording
Capture one take in portrait and landscape formats, making the footage suitable for vertical platforms and YouTube without recording the scene twice.
In-camera effects and controls
Use background blur, green screen or grey screen effects, skin smoothing, virtual studio lights, and brightness, contrast, and exposure controls while filming.
Gear and framing support
Connect an external microphone, trigger recording with a Bluetooth shutter remote, frame the shot with a composition grid and safe-zone overlay, and record at up to 4K.
Use cases
Solo talking-head videos
Set up a phone, read talking points from the teleprompter, and record multiple takes without walking back to the device between attempts.
Video podcasts and interviews filmed alone
Pair an external microphone with hands-free voice commands or a Bluetooth shutter remote to manage recording while focusing on delivery and sound.
Multi-platform publishing
Capture footage once and save both orientations for vertical social posts and landscape YouTube videos, reducing the need to repeat the performance.
Instructional and demonstration content
Use the script display, background effects, virtual studio lights, and exposure controls when producing lessons, demonstrations, fitness clips, cooking videos, or tutorials without a crew.
