What Teleprompter.com is great at

Both apps follow your voice as you speak, and both run the voice recognition on your device so it works with no internet connection. Voice scrolling is not where the two differ.

Where Teleprompter.com goes further is recording and editing. You can scroll at a fixed speed, at a set words per minute, or timed to finish in a set length, and the apps record in up to 4K and add subtitles, background noise removal, background replacement or blur, trimming, and resizing for each social platform, with live streaming to several platforms.

It works on phones, tablets, Mac and the web, with scripts synced through the cloud. It supports a long list of remotes, mirrored text for teleprompter glass, fonts designed for dyslexia, and right-to-left languages, and there is a free plan to start. If you make video content, especially on a phone, Teleprompter.com is designed for that job.

Where ScriptAssist is different

Your speaker notes are the script

ScriptAssist reads and writes the speaker notes already in your PowerPoint deck. There is no second document to keep in sync and nothing to paste into another tool. Edit a slide's script, save, and the deck you present from carries the change. If your talk starts life as a PowerPoint deck, your script is ready the moment you open the file.

Review in Word, then bring the edits back

Scripts often have to pass a manager, a subject-matter expert, or a legal, medical or compliance reviewer. Doing that by hand means building a Word table, pasting in slide images, waiting for edits, then copying every change back into the notes one slide at a time.

ScriptAssist does the round trip for you. It exports the script to a Word document in a Table or Thumbnails layout. Reviewers need only Word: no account and no install, and they can mark it up with Track Changes the way they already do. When the file comes back, ScriptAssist matches it to your deck by slide number and imports only the slides that changed. Changed slides are flagged in orange and conflicts (slides you also edited in PowerPoint after exporting) in red, and you see each change before you accept it. Only the speaker notes change, and every save keeps a backup of the previous file.

As of version 2.14, you can also put your own logo on the Word title page, or leave the logo off, and the title page shows who created the document.

Know how long every slide runs

Presentation Timing estimates your talk from the words in each slide's notes at your speaking pace, with subtotals by section and a running total for the deck. Enter a target time and the slides most likely to push you over are highlighted, so you know where to trim before you rehearse. While you present, an optional pacing meter shows whether you are on pace for the current slide, the whole talk, or both. It is included in Standard and Pro.

Made for presenting slides on camera

The On-Camera Script sits in a strip just under your webcam, so reading and eye contact are the same motion. It is excluded from screen sharing and recording by Windows, so you can share your whole screen with your live slides on Zoom, Teams or Webex and your audience sees your slides and your face, never your words. Five present modes cover video calls, a script over your live slides, rehearsal, and operator-run events, and you can drive them with the clicker you already use. VoiceSync (Pro) scrolls the script as you speak using a speech model on your computer, so no audio is uploaded and no internet connection is needed.

Where Teleprompter.com is the stronger choice

• Phones, tablets, Mac and web. ScriptAssist is Windows only and needs PowerPoint.
• Recording and editing video: 4K capture, subtitles, clean audio, backgrounds, resizing and live streaming. ScriptAssist does not record video.
• Remote options for rigs and solo shoots, from an Apple Watch to a foot pedal.
• Accessibility fonts (OpenDyslexic, Lexend) and right-to-left language support.
• A free plan, and a low annual price for Pro ($7.50 a month billed yearly).

Which should you use?

Choose Teleprompter.com if

• You record social, marketing or training videos, especially on a phone.
• You want recording, captions and editing in the same app as your teleprompter.
• You work on a Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android device.
• Your scripts are standalone text, not a PowerPoint deck.
• You want to start on a free plan.

Choose ScriptAssist if

• You present from PowerPoint on Windows and your script already lives in the speaker notes.
• You share your whole screen with live slides on Zoom, Teams or Webex and need the script kept out of the share.
• Your script goes through reviewers who work in Word, and you want their edits back in the deck without copy and paste.
• You have a fixed time slot and want to see which slides run long, not only how long the whole script runs.
• You want your script to live in your PowerPoint deck on your own machine, not synced to a web account.

Frequently asked questions

Is ScriptAssist a good Teleprompter.com alternative for PowerPoint presenters?

Yes, if you present from PowerPoint on Windows. ScriptAssist reads the speaker notes in your deck, keeps the script out of a whole-screen share, and adds a Word review round trip and slide-by-slide timing. If you record social or marketing video on a phone, or work on a Mac, Teleprompter.com covers those and ScriptAssist does not.

Does Teleprompter.com work on Windows?

Teleprompter.com lists iOS, Android, macOS and web. A Windows app is not listed on their site, but the web version is available. ScriptAssist is a Windows app for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) with Microsoft PowerPoint.

Can Teleprompter.com use my PowerPoint speaker notes?

Importing PowerPoint files is not listed on Teleprompter.com's site. It imports TXT, Word and PDF files and syncs scripts from Google Drive, Dropbox and iCloud. ScriptAssist uses the speaker notes already in your deck as the script and writes your edits back to them.

Will my script show if I share my whole screen?

In ScriptAssist, the On-Camera Script and Overlay Script are excluded from screen capture by Windows, so you can share your whole screen with live slides and your audience never sees the script. Teleprompter.com's own Zoom guide suggests sharing a single app window instead of your full screen, or using a second screen. Hiding from a whole-screen share is not listed on their site.

How does pricing compare?

As listed on each company's site on October 8, 2026: Teleprompter.com has a free Starter plan that records with a watermark, and Pro is $19.99 a month or $7.50 a month billed yearly. ScriptAssist Standard is $15 a month or $12 a month billed annually, and Pro, which adds the AI Script Assistant and VoiceSync, is $24 a month or $19 a month billed annually. Every ScriptAssist plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Teleprompter.com. It records in up to 4K on phones and adds captions, background noise removal, background replacement, trimming, resizing for each social platform, and live streaming. ScriptAssist does not record video. It is built for presenting PowerPoint slides live on Zoom, Teams or Webex, or for recording with the meeting app or screen recorder you already use.
