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 creates a Dynamic Island-style overlay that sits on top of your screen, keeping the teleprompter text hidden from your streaming software and audience
- The speech tracking feature automatically follows your voice and highlights where you are in the script, so you never lose your place while staying focused on the camera
- Since it's designed as an overlay system, your streaming app only captures what's behind it, meaning viewers see you clearly without any teleprompter text interfering
- The real-time voice recognition works entirely on your Mac without internet, so there's no lag or connection issues that could disrupt your stream
- You can position the text overlay near your camera lens, letting you maintain natural eye contact with viewers while reading your script seamlessly
