The short answer

Teleprompter.com is a teleprompter app whose VoiceGlide feature scrolls your script as you speak, and on a Mac it can keep the script floating above other windows during a video call or a recording. The Aitho AI slide teleprompter is built around a slide deck: the script follows your voice, the slides advance as you reach their words, the audience sees a slides-only window, and a private copilot can draft an answer to a question on your screen. For recording or talking to camera, Teleprompter.com is built for that. For presenting slides and taking questions, Aitho is.

Two different moments

Picture two calls on the same afternoon. In the first, you record a two-minute product update, looking into the webcam, with the script floating near the lens. In the second, you walk a client or a hiring panel through twelve slides, then take their questions.

Both involve reading while looking natural. Only the second involves keeping your slides in step with your words, keeping your notes off the shared screen, and answering questions you may not have prepared for. That difference is the whole comparison.

What Teleprompter.com is built for

According to Teleprompter.com's own site (facts checked on 2026-09-26):

  • VoiceGlide voice-activated scrolling: the text follows your voice, pauses when you pause, and picks up where you left off.
  • VoiceGlide is available on iOS, macOS, Android, and the web version. Teleprompter.com says its speech recognition runs on the device and works offline on iOS, Android, and macOS.
  • VoiceGlide is free on every plan, and follows your voice in the 28 languages the app is localized in, including Hebrew and Arabic.
  • On macOS, a "Keep Teleprompter Above All Windows" option keeps your script on top of other applications, for example during a video call or a screen share.
  • A built-in AI script generator drafts a script from a topic prompt.
  • Scripts can come from Word, Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, or a PDF or text file. Recording is included on the free Starter plan with a watermark; paid plans add features such as 4K recording without a watermark, mirroring, and subtitles.

That is a strong setup for anyone who speaks to a camera or reads a script during a call.

What Aitho is built for

Aitho starts from the slides you are going to show.

  • Import the deck you already made, as a PDF or PowerPoint file (Keynote and Google Slides via export). Aitho never edits it.
  • Your script follows your voice and highlights the word you are on. Aitho can draft a first-pass script from your slides for you to rewrite in your own words.
  • Slides advance as you reach each slide's words, so the deck keeps pace with you.
  • Two views. Your Presenter View holds the script and anything private. The Audience Stage shows only your slides.
  • A private Q&A copilot drafts an answer from your deck and the documents you attach, on your screen only. When your material does not cover the question, it may run a web search and cite the source.

The video-call case

This is where people most often compare the two, so here is how each approach works on Zoom or Teams.

With an overlay approach, you share your slides as usual and keep the script floating on top of your own screen. The script is on your side of the call as long as you share a window rather than your entire screen.

With Aitho, on a computer you open the Audience Stage in its own window and share that window. Your script, highlight, and any copilot answer stay in the Presenter View on your screen; the call sees only your slides, and the slides move as you speak. Either way, the rule is the same: share a window, not your entire screen. Aitho's desktop console also has a panic-hide that blanks the console if you share the wrong window by mistake.

One detail worth knowing before a remote Q&A: the copilot listens to your microphone, not the call audio. Repeat the question aloud, which also helps everyone on the call, or type it.

When Teleprompter.com is the better fit

  • You record videos or talk to camera and want the script close to the lens.
  • You present in a language other than English and want voice-following in that language.
  • You want offline voice-following on Android or a Mac.

When Aitho is the better fit

  • Your talk is a slide deck and you want the slides to move with your voice.
  • You want the call or the room to see only the slides while your script stays on your screen, without arranging overlays.
  • You expect questions at the end and want a draft answer from your own deck and documents.

For judged or rule-bound settings (competitions, defenses, some client or regulated calls), check what assistance is allowed. Rehearsing with Aitho is always within the rules.

Next step

Take the deck for your next call, open it in Aitho at aitho.app, and run the first three slides out loud while sharing the Stage window to a test call with yourself. That shows you exactly what your audience will see. Voice-following and slide advance are free.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aitho a Teleprompter.com alternative for Zoom presentations?

If you present slides on Zoom, yes. You share Aitho's slides-only Audience Stage window and keep your script in the Presenter View on your own screen, and the slides advance as you speak.

Does Aitho have a floating script overlay?

No. Aitho keeps the script in a separate Presenter View and gives the audience a separate slides-only window, so you share that window instead of layering a script over your slides.

Can I use Aitho in other languages?

Aitho does not publish a list of supported languages, so test the app with your own script before relying on it.
