The teleprompter that turns 12 takes into one

You know exactly what your video should say — the retakes happen because you're trying to say it from memory. Lumi puts your script next to the lens and scrolls at the speed of your voice, so take one sounds like you on a good day.

Why your videos take so long to record

The math of recording from memory is brutal. A 10-minute video means holding roughly 1,500 words in your head. Miss one transition and you stop, scroll back, find the sentence, re-set your energy, and go again. Ten takes later, the delivery you liked was in take two — you were just too deep in the process to notice.

Reading fixes the memory problem but creates two new ones: your eyes point at the script instead of the lens (viewers notice within seconds), and fixed-speed prompters force a rhythm that isn't yours — either you rush to catch up or wait awkwardly for the text.

That's the specific gap Lumi was built for: read every word, look at the lens, and keep your own rhythm.

What makes Lumi different for recording

  • FlowPrompt follows your voice. The script scrolls as you speak — slow down for emphasis, pause to think, and it stays with you instead of running away.
  • Script at the camera line. The overlay sits next to your lens, so eye contact survives the reading. No darting eyes, no glassy stare.
  • Recorder built in. Camera, microphone, and prompter in one window. Hit record in the same app you read from.
  • Consistent delivery, every video. Paste the script and say exactly what you planned — useful for sponsor reads, product claims, and anything you can't afford to improvise.
  • Private by default. Scripts stay on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

From script to published video, faster

  1. 1

    Paste your script or bullets

    Write where you always write — docs, Notion, AI tools — then paste. Lumi takes continuous text, bullet points, or loose topics.

  2. 2

    Set position, size, and speed once

    Drag the prompter under your camera, pick a comfortable font size, and let FlowPrompt handle pacing from there.

  3. 3

    Record — and keep the first take

    Deliver the whole script looking at the lens. Fewer retakes means less footage to edit, which is where the real time saving compounds.

Built for more than YouTube

The same workflow covers course lessons (record module after module with consistent energy), tutorials and product demos (get the steps right the first time), and short-form content where a tight script is the difference between a hook and a skip. And when you present live instead of recording, Meeting Mode keeps your notes invisible on Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

Frequently asked questions

Won't I sound robotic reading from a teleprompter?+
Only if the prompter forces you to chase a fixed scroll speed. Lumi's FlowPrompt works the other way around: it listens to your voice and scrolls at your pace. You can slow down, emphasize, or pause — the script waits for you, which is what keeps delivery natural.
Does Lumi record video too, or just show the script?+
Both. Lumi is a teleprompter and recorder in one app — you read and record in the same place, with your camera and microphone selected inside Lumi. No juggling between a prompter window and separate recording software.
Can I use Lumi with OBS or my editing workflow?+
Yes. Because the prompter is an on-screen overlay near your camera, it works alongside any recording setup — use Lumi's built-in recorder for talking-head videos, or run the overlay while you capture with your usual tools.
Does it work with an external camera?+
Yes. Position the overlay near whichever lens you use — built-in webcam or external camera — so your eyeline stays on the lens while you read.
Does the script appear in my recording?+
No. The overlay is visible only to you. Your recordings come out clean — same guarantee as Lumi's Meeting Mode on Zoom or Meet.
How much does it cost?+
It's $9/month (cancel anytime) or $27 once for a lifetime license — every future update included. Available for macOS, Windows, and the browser.
