What is a voice-activated teleprompter?
It's a teleprompter that moves forward when it hears you say the words, instead of scrolling at a fixed speed. Atrio is one for iPhone: speech recognition on the device matches your voice to the script and holds the line when you stop.
How Atrio's voice follow works
Choose a folder of .txt or .md scripts in Files or iCloud Drive and turn on Voice. As you read, Apple Speech or NVIDIA Parakeet, both running on the iPhone, match your words to the script. The current line moves on only after you say it. Stop mid-sentence and the line stays right there until you start again.
Why voice beats a fixed scroll speed
A words-per-minute scroll has to guess your pace. If you stop to find a word, answer a question, or take a breath, a fixed-speed scroll keeps going without you. Voice follow doesn't guess. It listens and moves when you say the next word.
Free to try, free forever for autoplay
Voice follow is free for your first 3 sessions, so you can try it on your own script first. Autoplay (scrolling by words per minute) and manual scroll are always free, however much you use them. If you want voice follow after the trial, it’s a one-time $14.99 unlock. No subscription.
15 spoken languages
Voice follow works in the 15 languages Atrio supports: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Dutch, and Polish.
Questions about voice follow
- What is a voice-activated teleprompter?
- A teleprompter that moves the script when it hears you say the words, rather than scrolling at a fixed speed. Atrio does it on the iPhone with on-device speech recognition.
- How does Atrio know when I stop talking?
- It keeps matching your speech to the script. When what you say stops matching the next words, the current line waits until you start again.
- Does voice follow work without internet?
- Yes. Speech recognition runs on the iPhone with Apple Speech or NVIDIA Parakeet, so once your scripts are on the phone, voice follow works offline.
- Is voice follow free?
- For your first 3 sessions. After that, a one-time $14.99 unlock removes the limit. Autoplay and manual scroll stay free either way.
- What if I don't want to use my voice?
- Autoplay scrolls by words per minute without the microphone, and manual scroll lets you move the script yourself. Both are always free.
