Voice Follow
A teleprompter that
follows your voice.
You speak. Cuey hears where you are in the script and moves on when you do. Pause, slow down or ad-lib. It waits for you.

Here's what we shipped this week.
How Voice Follow
works.
- 1
You speak
Your Mac's microphone picks up your voice.
- 2
Words are recognised
Apple's speech recognition turns speech into words.
- 3
Cuey finds your place
It matches those words to the line you're on.
- 4
The script moves
As you reach the end of a line, Cuey moves on, without waiting for the very last word.
Pauses
Stop to think, take a sip of water, or wait for a laugh. Nothing moves until you speak the script again.
Changes of pace
Speed up through the easy parts and slow down for emphasis. There's no scroll speed to set.
Ad-libs
Go off script for a sentence. Cuey waits on your line until you come back to it.
Fast Follow
Cuey hands off to the next line as you reach the end of the current one, so it keeps up at speaking speed.
Hard words
Brand names and long words don't stall it. Fast Follow accepts close pronunciations of longer words.
Your mic, your language
Choose the microphone and spoken language, and tune sensitivity for quiet voices or noisy rooms.
Voice Follow vs.
fixed-speed scrolling.
Most teleprompters scroll at a speed you set. That works until you pause, stumble or change pace. Then you're chasing the text, or it's waiting for you.
| Voice Follow | Fixed speed | |
|---|---|---|
| You pause | Waits | Keeps scrolling |
| You speed up | Keeps up | Falls behind |
| Setup | Just speak | Tune the speed |
| Hands | Free | Free, until you adjust |
Prefer a steady pace? Cuey's Read mode scrolls on a timer, and Notes mode lets you step through points yourself. Compare the three modes.
Private by design.
Voice Follow only needs to know where you are in your script. It doesn't keep anything.
- Cuey doesn't store audio or transcripts.
- Listening stops when you pause or stop the teleprompter.
- Cuey asks for microphone access only when you turn Voice Follow on.
- Recognition uses Apple's speech framework. If on-device recognition isn't available for your language, Apple's service may process the audio.
- No analytics are uploaded from the app.

Guides
Questions, answered
How does a voice-activated teleprompter work?+
It listens through your microphone, turns speech into words, finds where those words are in your script, and advances the text to match. Cuey uses Apple's speech recognition to do this.
What happens if I pause or go off script?+
Cuey waits. The text only moves when what you say matches the next part of the script, so pauses and ad-libs don't make it run ahead.
Does Cuey record or store my voice?+
No. Cuey doesn't store audio or transcripts. Speech recognition runs through Apple's speech framework; if on-device recognition isn't available for your language, Apple's service may process the audio.
Can I choose the microphone and language?+
Yes. Voice Follow settings let you pick the microphone, the spoken language and the microphone sensitivity, with a live input meter so you can see Cuey hearing you.
What permissions does Voice Follow need?+
macOS asks for microphone and speech recognition access the first time you turn Voice Follow on. Cuey only asks when you enable it.
Can I still control the teleprompter manually?+
Yes. Press ⌥⌘Space to pause, or switch to Read mode for timed scrolling or Notes mode to step through points yourself.
Say it to the camera.
Not to your notes.
