Textream: the best open-source teleprompter app
I came across the best open-source teleprompter app called Textream and it's less than 1 MB in size. It's available for macOS only. It's developed by @fkadev and described on GitHub as:
Textream is a free macOS teleprompter app for streamers, interviewers, and presenters. It highlights your script in real-time as you speak, displayed in a beautiful Dynamic Island overlay.
I tried this app and, now, it's one of the best open-source apps I have ever come across. It's so good that I couldn't resist but to record and share a video of me using the app that I shared on X and on Threads.
The best things about this app are:
- open-source and super lightweight
- uses on-device speech recognition
- works completely offline, and
- highlights words as you speak
Apart from this, the developer is still working on the tool and making it even better. It can even import presenter notes directly from your .pptx files.
Love it.
