Built for real productions

Most teleprompter hardware, especially affordable or generic systems, ships with a basic control application as an afterthought. These bundled apps do the bare minimum: display text, scroll it, and stop there. SM Teleprompter replaces that software entirely with a workflow designed for professional operators who need precision, speed, and control.

Whether you are running a camera-mounted prompter or a multi-output studio rig, SM Teleprompter keeps the operator in charge with smooth scrolling, live preview, and device-native control.
