Tellie
The Mac teleprompter that follows your voice, word by word.
Tellie, the Mac teleprompter that follows your voice, word by word. Not just scrolling when it hears voice. It tracks what you're saying and highlights where you are. Skip ahead, ad-lib, go back. Tellie knows. Lives in the MacBook notch (or anywhere). Invisible to Zoom. 50 languages, all on-device. NEW: Presenter Mode auto-displays notes and advances slides when you finish your last word. Free tier is a real teleprompter. Pro: $18 with code PRODUCTHUNT ($29 after). One-time, no subscription.
Introducing Tellie: tracks the actual words you're saying, highlights where you are, and follows you if you skip, go back, or ad-lib.
Since May, with zero marketing: 500+ downloads, paying Pro customers, 1000+ npm installs of the developer tools, and working actors using it to prep real auditions. When I asked ChatGPT for the best Mac teleprompter that follows your voice, it answered Tellie ("the one I'd install first tonight"). I didn't pay for any of that. It happened while I was quietly fixing bugs. That felt good.
I'm Steve, a 30-year Apple/Cisco/Salesforce veteran who's never written production code. I built Tellie in 3 days using AI as my pair programmer and designed it with the UX instincts I learned working with Steve Jobs. I built it for my own needs, and it evolved into something I'm really proud of and want to share with others.
Who it's for: Creators recording videos. Presenters on Zoom. Founders pitching on camera. Actors prepping auditions. Devs who want to know what their agents are doing. Anyone who needs to read while looking near a lens.
What makes it different: Most teleprompters scroll when they hear your voice. Tellie tracks the actual words you're saying, highlights where you are, and follows you if you skip, go back, or ad-lib. Word-level tracking, not pace-matching. Built-in developer surface that uses the notch for notifications.
🎤 ~50 languages, all on-device. Nothing leaves your Mac
👻 Invisible to Zoom, screen recorders, and screenshots
💻 NEW: Presenter Mode auto-advances Keynote slides when you finish talking
📊 Live pace report after every take: WPM, longest pause, stumble points
Sprague Theobald (Law & Order, Only Murders in the Building, FBI, Poker Face) uses Tellie for audition prep. He's dyslexic, and found that Tellie's OpenDyslexic font can help him read scripts more comfortably.
Pricing: Free is a real teleprompter. Pro adds voice-follow, Presenter Mode, and more.
PH exclusive: code PRODUCTHUNT for $11 off ($18, normally $29). One-time, no subscription.
Tiny, 2.4 MB Apple-notarized DMG with no registration or tracking at all
Feedback wanted, especially on voice-follow accuracy with non-English languages and different accents.
