Teleprompter for Public Speaking on iPhone & iPad
Whether it's a keynote, a wedding toast, or a conference talk, Float Teleprompter helps you deliver your speech with confidence. Place your iPhone or iPad on the podium and your script scrolls as you speak — powered by AI voice recognition. No memorization required.
Public speaking is one of the oldest use cases for teleprompters. Presidents use them. News anchors rely on them. Conference speakers read from them. But traditional teleprompter setups require specialized hardware, an operator, and rehearsal time. For most speakers, that's not realistic.
Float Teleprompter on iPhone or iPad is the modern alternative. Place your device on the podium, lectern, or even hold it in your hand. Your script appears in large, readable text, and Smart Scroll advances it as you speak. If you pause for applause or to take a question, the scroll pauses with you. When you resume, it picks right back up.
The iPad version is especially powerful for public speaking. The larger screen means you can read comfortably from a podium without leaning in. Increase the font size in settings and the experience is similar to a dedicated confidence monitor — but free and in your bag.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Prepare your speech
Write or paste your full speech text into Float. Break it into paragraphs for easier reading.
Set up your device
Place your iPhone or iPad on the podium, angled toward you. For iPad, use a stand for the ideal reading angle.
Adjust text settings
Increase font size for podium distance. Enable the focus bar to keep your place during long passages.
Do a sound check
Speak a few lines to confirm Smart Scroll is tracking your voice in the room's acoustics.
Deliver your speech
Speak naturally. The script follows your pace. Look up at the audience — the text will be there when you look back.
Tips from Creators
For podium speeches, use iPad with maximum font size. Position it flat or at a slight angle on the lectern surface.
Practice your speech once with Smart Scroll before the event. This helps you get comfortable with the pacing and confirms voice tracking works in similar conditions.
Add blank lines in your script between major sections. This creates visual breathing room and helps you find your place if you look away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for a live speech without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Float's speech recognition runs entirely on-device. No internet connection is needed.
Will the audience see my script?
If you place your device flat on the podium or angled toward you, the audience won't see the screen. iPad is ideal for this since the larger screen is readable at arm's length.
How long of a speech can it handle?
There's no limit. Float handles everything from a 2-minute toast to a 60-minute keynote.
What if I go off-script during Q&A?
Smart Scroll pauses when you stop reading from the script. When you return to the text, it picks up where you left off.
