## About

Tellie is a Mac teleprompter for creators, presenters, actors, teachers, sales teams, and anyone who needs to stay on message while speaking. It follows the words you actually say, keeps your place when you pause or go off script, and can track key points as you cover them.

The teleprompter sits near the camera in the menu bar notch and stays invisible to screen recordings, Zoom, Meet, and FaceTime. Tellie works offline with on-device speech recognition, so your voice never leaves your Mac. It opens Word, Pages, PDF, RTF, and Markdown documents, with a free version and a Pro upgrade.
