Add Sayscroll to Your Home Screen (iPhone & Android)

Sayscroll runs in your browser, so there's nothing to download from the App Store or Play Store. But on both iPhone and Android you can add it to your home screen, where it gets its own app icon and opens full screen — just like a native app. It takes a few taps. Here's how to do it on each phone, and why the full-screen version is the one you want for filming.

Why add it to your home screen?

When you open a site in a normal browser tab, the address bar, tabs, and toolbars eat into the screen — exactly the space your script needs. Adding Sayscroll to your home screen launches it in standalone full-screen mode, with all of that browser clutter gone. That gives you a few real advantages on a phone-sized display:

• More room for your words — no address bar or tab strip, so your script gets the full height of the screen for bigger text and fewer eye movements.
• One-tap launch — open the prompter straight from your home screen instead of opening a browser, finding the tab, and typing the URL.
• Fewer interruptions — no stray taps on browser buttons or the URL bar mid-take, so you stay locked on the camera.
• An app-like feel — its own icon and a clean full-screen window, while still being the same site with nothing to install.

Add Sayscroll to your iPhone (iOS)

On iPhone and iPad you can do this from Safari or another browser like Chrome — the steps are nearly identical, you're just hunting for the Share icon.

1. Open your browser and go to sayscroll.com.
2. Tap the Share icon — a square with an arrow pointing up out of it. In Safari it sits in the toolbar (bottom of the screen on iPhone, top on iPad); in Chrome or Edge you'll find Share in the toolbar or behind the ⋯ menu.
3. Scroll down the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Edit the name if you like (it defaults to the site name), then tap Add in the top corner.
5. The Sayscroll icon now sits on your home screen. Tap it to launch the teleprompter full screen.

Add Sayscroll to your Android phone

On Android, use Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser like Edge or Brave). Chrome often shows an “Install app” prompt on its own, but you can always add it manually:

1. Open Chrome and go to sayscroll.com.
2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.
3. Tap Add to Home screen (on some phones it reads Install app).
4. Confirm by tapping Add or Install. You can drag the icon wherever you want it, or let Android drop it for you.
5. Find the Sayscroll icon on your home screen or in the app drawer and tap it to open full screen.

Allow microphone access the first time

Because Sayscroll follows your voice, it needs your microphone. The first time you start a take, your phone will ask for permission — tap Allow. Only your audio is streamed for live transcription; your script stays on your device. The home-screen app uses an internet connection just like the website, since the voice tracking happens in real time.

That's it — you now have a voice-following teleprompter one tap from your home screen. New to it? See how to use a teleprompter in six steps, or read more about the teleprompter for iPhone.
