CasperTalk is a teleprompter that lives under your Mac's camera.
The idea is simple.
Your notes sit right here…
a few millimetres from the lens.
So when you read…
you're still looking at the person.
It listens for your voice.
When you stop talking…
it waits.
When you pick up again…
it moves.
Present from Keynote or PowerPoint…
and it jumps to each slide's speaker notes as you go.
Share your screen on Zoom, Meet or Teams…
and this panel stays out of the share.
Your audience sees the slides.
You see the next line.
Move it. Resize it. Restyle it.
Nothing leaves your Mac.
No account. Free to start.
That's the whole idea.
A teleprompter for Mac that sits under your camera and follows your slides and your voice. Share your whole screen — your audience gets the slides, never your notes.
Free plan, no account. Pro is $29 once. macOS 14 or later.
Three steps. No account, no setup wizard.
Write in the built-in editor, or import a .pptx and your speaker notes arrive slide by slide.
Drag the panel right below the notch. Reading it looks like eye contact.
The text moves with your voice and jumps with your slides. Your audience only ever sees the slides.
CasperTalk keeps the next line where your eyes already are — beside the camera — and keeps it off every screen but yours.
Only you can see this.
Hidden from screen sharing, recordings and screenshots. Your audience sees your slides — never your notes.
Change the slide in Keynote or PowerPoint and the prompter jumps to that slide's speaker notes. No clicking, no scrolling.
The script scrolls while you speak and waits when you pause. Other voices on the call don't move it.
Eyes on the lens.
Words right beneath it.
Sits directly below the notch, so glancing at your notes looks exactly like looking at the person.
Any size. Any corner. Any display.
A slim strip under the camera or a big reading panel for the whole script — it floats above every app and Space.
…so the next quarter starts with a clear owner for each
Move the mouse over the panel and it stops instantly; move away and it resumes. In a slideshow, a plain P works too.
Speed up or slow down with a shortcut, start and stop from anywhere — even while another app has focus.
Bold and big
Easy on the eyes
Barely there
Text size, text color, background opacity, window size — from bold and opaque to nearly transparent.
No account · No cloud · No upload
Scripts, decks and your microphone audio never leave your machine. There's nothing to sign up for.
Write and edit in the app, keep every script, switch with one click. Word counts included.
Drop in a .pptx and the speaker notes become a script, slide by slide. Nothing is uploaded — it's parsed on your Mac.
A short countdown when you start, so the first line doesn't run away before you've found your breath.
No subscription, no card to try it. Pro is a one-time purchase.

CasperTalkYes, on the capture pipelines modern meeting apps use, the CasperTalk window is simply not part of the share, recording or screenshot — you see it, nobody else does. Two habits keep it that way: turn Stealth Mode on before you start sharing and leave it on, and if you want zero exposure, share only the Keynote or PowerPoint window instead of the whole screen — another window can't be inside a window share by definition. The app's welcome tour walks through both.
Keynote and PowerPoint for Mac: the prompter follows the live slideshow and shows that slide's notes. You can import a .pptx file or pull the notes straight out of the presentation you have open. Google Slides is on the list.
Yes. CasperTalk listens on its own tap and steps out of the way of Zoom, Meet and Teams, so your microphone works in the call exactly as before. It's also tuned so the other side's voice coming out of your speakers doesn't scroll your script.
No. Download, open, paste your notes. There is no sign-up, no login and nothing to sync. Buying Pro gives you a license key; that's the only thing you ever enter.
No. $29 once, yours for good, updates included. One key unlocks one Mac — activate it on the Mac you present from.
Only the two features that do the work for you: Voice-Follow and Slide Tracking, at 5,000 words a month. Everything else — scripts, deck imports, manual and constant-speed scrolling, Stealth Mode, styling — is unlimited. And a limit is only ever checked before you start; nothing stops mid-talk.
Nowhere. Scripts and imported decks are files on your Mac; microphone audio is analysed in memory for speech activity and never written or sent anywhere. This website sets no cookies; it counts visits with cookieless analytics that store nothing in your browser — details on the privacy page.
Any Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel. It's a native Swift app — small, fast, and it lives in your menu bar rather than the Dock.
Free plan included, no account needed. Open the disk image, drag CasperTalk to Applications, and look for it in your menu bar.
Pro unlocks unlimited Voice-Follow and Slide Tracking for $29, once — see plans.
