A Native Apple BigVU Alternative for Creators and Brands
If you came to BigVU for the teleprompter, here's a leaner option: Teleprompter Premium+ is one universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a free in-browser editor and a paste-and-test preview right on this page.
Most people searching for a BigVU alternative want the same core thing: read a script smoothly on camera without buying clunky hardware or learning a heavy all-in-one suite. Teleprompter Premium+ keeps the focus on the prompter itself. It's a native Apple app that runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac as one universal download, with smooth auto-scroll, large adjustable type, and a mirror mode for beam-splitter glass.
Where it goes further is the read-anywhere setup. A hands-free floating overlay can sit over your camera or recording app so you read while you film, voice-activated scrolling follows your speech on-device, and an AI script review tightens wording for spoken delivery. There's also a free online teleprompter and editor on this site, so a brand can write a script in the browser and hand it to a creator with a single link.

Why look for a BigVU alternative
BigVU is a well-known name in the teleprompter space, and like a lot of all-in-one video tools it covers a broad range of tasks. That's useful if you want a wide feature set in one place, but if your actual need is just a dependable prompter, a leaner tool can feel like a better fit. The most common reasons people start shopping around are wanting something that feels native on Apple devices, a prompter that overlays directly on the camera, and a simpler way to share a script with someone else who'll read it.
Teleprompter Premium+ is built around that narrower goal. Because it's a true Apple app rather than a cross-platform wrapper, it syncs your scripts across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud, and even lets an Apple Watch act as a remote so you can start, stop, and adjust without touching the camera.
What Teleprompter Premium+ does well
The reading experience is the point. Auto-scroll speed is adjustable so the pace matches how you actually talk, and the type size scales up large enough to read from arm's length or across a desk setup. Mirror mode flips the text horizontally so it reads correctly through beam-splitter teleprompter glass or in front-camera arrangements, which matters if you've outgrown reading off a flat screen.
For run-and-gun filming, the floating overlay prompter is the standout. It sits on top of your camera or recording app as a translucent layer, so your eyeline stays near the lens while you read. Pair that with voice-activated scrolling, which uses on-device speech recognition to follow your words and wait when you pause, and you get a hands-free take without a producer tapping a remote off-screen.
The free online editor and share-by-link handoff
This is the piece most teleprompter apps don't have. On this site there's a free online teleprompter and script editor: write or paste a script in your browser and it saves locally until you publish. When you're ready, you share one link. The person who opens it can read it in a live in-browser teleprompter right on the page, or open it straight inside the app on their own device.
That makes the brand-to-creator handoff clean. A marketer writes the script, hits share, and sends a link to the influencer or creator who'll be on camera. Sharing can be public, so anyone with the link can read it, or private, where you invite specific people by email. No account juggling, no exporting documents back and forth, no copy-pasting into a notes app at the last minute.
Test it before you switch
You don't have to take any of this on faith. There's a live, working teleprompter preview embedded on this page. Paste in a real script, try the auto-scroll, bump the speed up and down, and flip on mirror mode to see how it reads. It runs in the browser, so you can evaluate the core feel of the prompter before you download anything.
If it works for you on the page, the full experience is the universal app on your Apple devices, where the overlay, voice-follow, AI script review, and iCloud sync live. The web editor and the app are two ends of the same workflow, so a script you write online opens cleanly in the app when you're ready to film.
What you get
One universal Apple app
iPhone, iPad, and Mac in a single download, with iCloud sync keeping your scripts in step across every device. An Apple Watch can act as a remote to start, stop, and adjust mid-take.
Floating overlay prompter
A hands-free translucent prompter that sits over your camera or recording app, so you read with your eyeline near the lens instead of off to the side.
Voice-activated scrolling
On-device speech recognition follows your delivery and pauses when you pause, so the script keeps pace with you without anyone working a remote.
Mirror mode
Flips text horizontally for beam-splitter teleprompter glass and front-camera setups, so it reads correctly through the rig instead of backwards.
Free online editor and share-by-link
Write or paste a script in the browser, then share one link publicly or privately by email. The recipient reads it in-browser or opens it straight in the app.
AI script review

Frequently asked questions
- Is Teleprompter Premium+ a good BigVU alternative for iPhone?
- Yes. It's a native Apple app, so the prompter, mirror mode, floating overlay, and voice-follow all run on iPhone, and the same app extends to iPad and Mac with iCloud sync. If your main need is a reliable prompter rather than a full video suite, it covers that directly.
- Can I try it before downloading?
- Yes. Every page here has a live teleprompter preview. Paste your own script, run the auto-scroll, change the speed, and turn on mirror mode right in the browser so you can feel how the prompter behaves before you install the app.
- Does it work with a teleprompter mirror or beam-splitter glass?
- Yes. Mirror mode flips the text horizontally so it reads correctly when reflected through beam-splitter teleprompter glass, and it works for front-camera setups too. You can also read directly off the screen without a rig.
- How does sharing a script with a creator work?
- Write or paste your script in the free online editor, then share one link. The creator can read it in a live in-browser teleprompter on the page or open it inside the app. You can keep the link public for anyone, or make it private and invite specific people by email.
- Can I read a script while recording on the same phone?
- Yes. The floating overlay prompter sits on top of your camera or recording app as a translucent layer, so you can read hands-free while you film. Voice-activated scrolling follows your speech so you don't need a separate remote.
- Do I need an account to write a script online?
- You can write or paste a script in the browser and it saves locally on your device until you publish. When you're ready to hand it off, you publish and share the link with whoever needs to read it.
