Why it exists
The take‑five trap.
You know the line. You walk up to camera. You forget it. Again. GhostCue is built to delete that moment.
1
You re‑record the same line seven times.
Every retake is a cut, a rewind, a breath you didn’t want. Multiply that by the length of your script. That’s the hidden cost of memorizing.
2
Looking at notes kills the take.
Eyes down, audience out. Teleprompter apps solve this — until they ask you to install, update, subscribe, or stop working offline.
3
Your script has more than one voice.
Interviews, sketches, multi‑host shows, voice‑over sessions — most tools treat every line the same. GhostCue reads structure: who speaks, when, and what color they are on screen.
Open a URL. Paste the script. Read. The take-five trap is a 2‑second fix.
How it works
From script to rolling camera in 60 seconds.
No sign-up. No upload. No learning curve. Three steps and you’re reading.
1
Paste your script
From Google Docs, Notes, ChatGPT, a PDF, a napkin. GhostCue reads the structure, detects every character, and color-codes the whole thing before you’ve put your phone down.
2
Set the pace
Step line by line for interviews. Scroll hands-free for monologues. Filter to just your lines. Set the timer. Ready before the mic’s warm.
3
Roll camera
Your phone is the teleprompter now. You deliver in one take. Fewer reshoots. Sharper takes. Faster wrap. The audience sees confidence — not a screen.
Features
Built for how creators actually shoot.
Most teleprompters give you a scrolling wall of text. GhostCue gives you structure, roles, pace, and control — every feature built to shave minutes off a shoot, not pad a feature list.
Paste and go
No formatting. No importing. No “supported file types.” Paste any text. GhostCue structures it. You’re reading in under five seconds.
Free
Step or scroll
Tap to advance one line at a time for interviews. Switch to scroll for speeches. Adjust speed mid-take without breaking the flow.
Free
RolePlay
No other teleprompter does this. Paste a multi-person script; every character auto-detects, gets a color, and sits in its own lane. Filter to one role and record their whole part in a single pass.

Timing and pace control
Auto-advance every 3–60 seconds. A session clock shows real time vs. estimate — live. A soft glow warns you before each line ends. Never run over. Never rush.
Free
GhostCue
Float window
One tap pops the prompter into a real Picture-in-Picture window — the kind that stays on top of everything. Sits over Zoom, Meet, Teams, your slides. No second device, no screen-share juggling.
Free
The line you keep flubbing.
LOOP ×3
Loop the hard line
That one line you keep messing up? Lock it. Tap to repeat. Your rep counter ticks up. No re-pasting, no scrolling back, no losing your place. Just the hard line on repeat until it's yours.
Free
Mirrored
Mirror mode
Running a beam-splitter rig or reading off an external monitor? Flip the text in one tap so it reads correctly through the glass. Studio-grade feature, browser-grade setup.
Pro
Only on GhostCue
Your script knows who says what.
Type a line. Watch every character get detected, colored, and sorted — in real time. The only teleprompter that treats a script like a script.
GhostCue detects characters automatically. Each person gets their own color. You see who speaks next at a glance — no scanning, no guessing, no losing your place between questions.
Need only your lines? Tap a character pill; the rest fades. Shooting a scene with two actors? Filter by role and record their full part in one pass. Restructure your shoot order without ever rewriting the script.
Podcasts and interviews Your questions in teal, their answers in purple. You always know where you are.
Scripted video shoots Filter by character, record their whole part in one sitting. Half the setups, twice the consistency.
Multi-presenter events Three speakers, one script. Each reads only their sections. No handoff chaos.
Voiceover sessions Narrator lines, character lines, and stage directions live in different colors so you never read the wrong one.
Stay on time
Never run over. Never rush.
Know exactly where you are in your script, how much time you’ve spent, and how much you have left — down to the second.
Auto-next timer
Lines advance on a timer you set — 5 to 60 seconds. Pause with spacebar, resume when ready. Your pace, not the machine's.
Session clock
Real time vs. estimated total, running live. When you finish, see if you came in under or went over. Down to the second.
Cue warning
The screen glows in the character's color as time runs out. A visual nudge to wrap up — no beep, no interruption, just a glow.
Who it’s for
It earns its place on the daily stack.
A camera, a crowd, a conference room, a Zoom. If you speak on a deadline, GhostCue is the second tab — right next to your doc and your timer.
Podcast interviews
Your questions in one color, their answers in another. Filter to just your lines so you never lose your place mid-conversation — even on a two-hour episode. One take. No re-records because you blanked on the follow-up.
Scripted video shoots
Multi-character scene. Filter to Character A, record every line in one pass. Then B. Half the setups. Half the continuity errors. Your AD stays happy and your shoot wraps on schedule.
Keynotes and live events
Your notes on your phone, invisible to the room. Session clock tells you when to wrap — before you run over. Eye contact with the audience, never with a podium.
Short-form batch recording
Eight vertical scripts, back-to-back, no resetting. Auto-timer keeps every take on-brief. Cue glow warns before each line ends. Batch once, edit later, ship all week.
Why GhostCue
No install. No tracking. No nonsense.
Built for how shoots actually happen — in a browser, on whatever screen you have, at whatever location your producer just texted.
Browser-first, not browser-second
Nothing to install. Nothing to update. Nothing that quietly drains your battery between shoots. Open the link on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Ready in two seconds.
Scripts never leave your device
GhostCue runs entirely on your device. Scripts never upload, never get logged, never get trained on. Close the tab and they’re gone. The only copy that exists is the one you keep.
Free tier is the whole product
Not a trial. Not a demo. Not an “upgrade to read past line 20.” Free includes RolePlay, step and scroll, Loop, the Float window over Zoom, Resume your last script, countdown timer, and offline PWA. Pro adds more characters, custom colors, saved scripts, and export. Everything you need to shoot today is already free.

FAQ
Answers before you ask.
Everything creators, podcasters, and production teams want to know before they paste their first script.
What is the best free teleprompter app?
GhostCue. It runs in your browser — no download, no account — and the free tier includes RolePlay, step and scroll modes, a Float window that sits over Zoom, Loop for drilling tricky lines, countdown timer, Resume your last script, and offline PWA. Features most teleprompters gate behind paywalls.
Does GhostCue work on my phone?
Yes. GhostCue is a web app that works on any phone browser — iPhone, Android, iPad, tablet. No App Store download. Add it to your home screen for full-screen, offline use, just like a native app.
What teleprompter is best for podcasts and interviews?
GhostCue’s RolePlay mode is built for multi-person scripts. Every speaker auto-detects and gets their own color. Filter to just your questions during recording so you never lose your place between guest answers.
Can I use GhostCue offline?
Yes. Install GhostCue as a Progressive Web App from your browser. Once installed it runs completely offline — on set, in a studio with spotty wifi, on a plane, wherever the shoot happens.
How much does GhostCue cost?
Free forever for the core teleprompter. Pro is €2.90/month or €24.90/year (save 28%) and unlocks 6-character RolePlay with custom colors, saved scripts, HTML/PDF export, mirror mode, session clock, and every timer duration.
Are my scripts private?
Yes. GhostCue runs entirely in your browser. Your scripts never upload to a server, never get logged, never get used to train anything. Close the tab and the only copy left is the one you keep.
Can I use GhostCue with a beam-splitter teleprompter rig?
Yes. Pro includes mirror mode — flip the text in one tap so it reads correctly through the glass of any physical rig. Use your phone, a tablet, or an external monitor as the source screen.
How does GhostCue compare to BigVu, PromptSmart, or Teleprompter Premium?
GhostCue is the only browser teleprompter with real RolePlay — automatic character detection with filtering. The Float window puts the prompter on top of Zoom, Meet or Teams without a second device. It’s also the only one that works with zero download on any platform. The free tier alone includes features the others charge for.
Can I cancel Pro anytime?
Yes. Pro is billed monthly or annually through Stripe. Cancel in one click from your account — no email, no calls, no “are you sure?” chain. Your data stays yours either way.
