Textream is an open-source macOS teleprompter that tracks your speech and highlights your script in real time in a Dynamic Island–style overlay. It keeps text visible only to you while you stream, interview, podcast, or present, with fully on-device, private speech recognition.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Textream listens to your voice as you speak and moves the teleprompter text forward automatically, so you don't need to manually control scrolling speed
- The app highlights exactly where you are in your script in real time, making it easy to stay on track even if you pause or speak at different speeds
- Your speaking pace directly controls how fast or slow the text moves, whether you're rushing through a section or taking your time to emphasize important points
- The Dynamic Island-style overlay keeps your script visible only to you during live streams or video calls, while automatically syncing with your natural speaking rhythm
- Speech recognition happens entirely on your Mac without sending audio anywhere else, giving you real-time teleprompter control that adapts instantly to how fast or slow you're actually talking
