A teleprompter app with video recording built in

Here's how most people record scripted video: a teleprompter web page in one window, a camera or recorder in another. Then the choreography begins — start the recorder, click over to the prompter, hope the scroll speed you guessed is right, and restart everything when it isn't. Every stumble means stopping two apps, rewinding one, and re-arming the other. The friction isn't in the reading; it's in the plumbing.

A teleprompter and recorder in one app collapses that whole dance. In Lumi, the script and the recording share a single workspace: one button starts the take, and the text sits where your eyes already are — at the camera. When you flub a line, you're one action away from going again, not five.

The other direction the market went is the mega-suite: apps like BIGVU and Teleprompter.com stack a prompter on top of editing timelines, AI captions, auto-cut tools, and template libraries. If you want an end-to-end video factory, those exist. But if what you actually need is to read a script and record yourself well, you're paying — in money, learning curve, and interface clutter — for an editor you may never open.

Lumi takes the opposite bet: do the recording moment extremely well and nothing else.

• Prompting that adapts to you. FlowPrompt follows your voice — it never rushes ahead, pauses when you pause, and resumes from where you stopped. No scroll-speed guessing.
• Recording without ceremony. Script and camera in one place; fewer moving parts between “ready” and “recording.”
• Private by architecture. Scripts live on your device and never touch a server — relevant when you're recording earnings updates or client-specific material.
• No editor, no AI effects, no template store. Your takes go into the workflow you already have. Lumi refuses to become the app you have to learn.

1. 1

   Bring your script

   Paste the full script or just bullet points. It stays local to your machine — nothing uploads.

2. 2

   Line up the text with your lens

   Place the prompter at your eye line near the camera and pick a comfortable font size. Your gaze reads as eye contact, not as reading.

3. 3

   Record and just talk

   Hit record and speak. FlowPrompt tracks your voice — stumble, breathe, go again. Fewer restarts, faster takes.

That loop is the entire product philosophy: reduce the cost of a bad take until re-recording is trivial. The camera stops being an adversary when a redo costs seconds instead of a full reset.

YouTube and course creators burn most of their time on retakes, not ideas — a script that follows your voice attacks exactly that (see Lumi for YouTube creators). Founders and marketers recording product walkthroughs and update videos get consistent delivery without memorizing. Non-native English speakers keep the exact phrasing they prepared in view, which lowers the anxiety that ruins takes in the first place.

And when the camera is a live call instead of a recording, the same script goes stealth: Meeting Mode makes it invisible on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams screen shares.
