Built for natural delivery
Everything you need on a single screen.
Absolute Teleprompter keeps essential reading controls inside the floating window, so you can adjust your delivery without leaving the camera.
Vertical or horizontal scroll
Choose conventional vertical prompting or a single-line horizontal reading flow, with separate motion handling for consistent pacing.
Words-per-minute control
Use the visible speed slider to match the scroll with your speaking rhythm while the prompt is open.
Adjustable text size
Increase or reduce the script size instantly. Horizontal mode adjusts the reading area to accommodate larger text.
Top or centre reading focus
In vertical mode, keep your active reading line at the top or centre depending on where your camera is positioned.
Dynamic highlighting
A yellow reading cue highlights the current line in vertical mode or the centre word in horizontal mode.
Mirror mode
Flip the script correctly for compatible teleprompter glass in vertical or horizontal scrolling mode.
Portrait or landscape orientation
Switch orientation on your phone or tablet while retaining the reading position and keeping the overlay within the available screen height.
Private and offline
No login is required. Your script and reading preferences stay in local application storage, and core prompting works offline.
How it works
Start reading in three simple steps
There is no dashboard to configure and no account to create. Grant the required Android overlay permission once, then work directly in the teleprompter.
1
Open and grant overlay permission
Allow “Display over other apps” when Android asks. This lets Absolute Teleprompter remain visible above your chosen camera or recording application.
2
Paste or type your script
Add text directly while paused. Choose vertical or horizontal movement, set the reading focus, and adjust speed and text size.
3
Position, record and read
Drag the overlay near your camera, adjust its height and press Play. The script stays visible while you record in another app.

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you install
Is Absolute Teleprompter completely free?
Yes. The current Android release is 100% free to download and use, with no advertisements, subscriptions or paid feature unlocks.
Can it float over my camera or recording app?
Yes. After you grant Android's “Display over other apps” permission, Absolute Teleprompter appears as a movable floating overlay above the camera or recording application you choose.
Does it require camera or microphone permission?
No. Absolute Teleprompter displays your script only. Your separate camera or recording application handles the recording.
Does Absolute Teleprompter work offline?
Yes. Core teleprompter functionality works without an internet connection after installation. Scripts and reading preferences are stored locally on the device.
Can I scroll horizontally as well as vertically?
Yes. Vertical mode supports top or centre reading focus, while horizontal mode keeps the active word close to the centre of the screen. Each direction uses motion handling designed for that reading pattern.
Does it support mirrored text for teleprompter glass?
Yes. Mirror mode flips the script for use with compatible physical teleprompter glass in both supported scrolling orientations.
Which Android versions and devices are supported?
The current release supports Android 8.0 or later on compatible phones and tablets. The device must allow application overlays and foreground services. Some manufacturers may require an additional floating-window, auto-start or battery setting.
Why does the app need “Display over other apps” permission?
The permission is required for the core feature: showing your script above another app while you record. Absolute Teleprompter does not use the permission to display advertising or monitor other applications.
