Is there a Mac app that works with Descript?

Yes. GoTeleprompter for Mac (macOS 26 or later) floats your script above Descript, docks it under your camera, and scrolls it as you speak with Voice Follow. On Windows or Chromebook, use the free web teleprompter with picture-in-picture.

Does GoTeleprompter connect to Descript?

No account sync or plugin. Copy your script into the free web teleprompter, record in Descript, then edit there.

Does picture-in-picture work with Descript?

Yes on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Float the script while you record; keep it out of any screen-recording source.

Can Descript replace a teleprompter?

Descript helps after you speak. A teleprompter helps while you speak — especially for eye line and order. Many people use both.

Is GoTeleprompter free?

The web teleprompter is completely free. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps are free for up to 2 scripts, including Voice Follow. One Pro subscription unlocks unlimited scripts on all your Apple devices.

Teleprompter for Descript Recordings

Get a cleaner take before you edit in Descript. On Mac, GoTeleprompter floats your script under the camera and follows your voice while you record. On Windows, use the free web teleprompter.

Below: the setup with the GoTeleprompter Mac app, how Hide from Screen Sharing behaves in Descript, and the free web teleprompter option for Windows and Chromebook. New to Voice Follow? The script scrolls as you speak and waits when you pause.

How to use a teleprompter with Descript on Mac

Open your script in GoTeleprompter for Mac and turn on Float on Top so it stays above Descript, even in full screen.
Choose Move Below Camera to dock the script as a strip right under your webcam.
Check that Hide from Screen Sharing is on (it is by default).
Start Voice Follow and speak. The script moves at your pace and waits when you pause.
Before going live, do a quick test share or test recording in Descript to confirm the prompter is not visible.

Is the prompter hidden in Descript?

Hide from Screen Sharing is on by default and keeps the prompter out of screen sharing and recordings in apps that respect it. Some apps that capture your entire screen may still show it, so share a single window when you can and do a quick test share in Descript before going live.

MAC APP

Float your script above the call, scroll it with your voice, and keep it off the shared screen.

Free option: the web teleprompter with Descript

No Mac, or on Windows or Chromebook? The free web teleprompter works in any modern browser. It scrolls at a speed you set (no Voice Follow), and its picture-in-picture window is visible if you share your whole screen, so share a single window instead.

Write the script you want on the take (Descript can fix small mistakes later — it cannot invent eye contact).
Open the web teleprompter beside Descript’s recorder; use picture-in-picture (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) so cues stay near the lens without crowding the UI.
Keep PiP off the camera framing and off screen captures.
Record your take in Descript while reading at a steady WPM.
Stop the prompter when you improvise; jump back when you return to script. Edit in Descript as usual. For iPhone talking heads, you can also record in the GoTeleprompter app and import the file.

Tips that keep delivery natural

PiP is the convenient one-screen setup while Descript owns the recorder.
A clean take still saves edit time even when Descript can cut filler.
Do not point a display capture at the teleprompter window or PiP.
Short lines format better for both prompting and later text editing.
