# Sayscroll

> Sayscroll is a browser-based AI teleprompter that scrolls as you speak. Real-time speech recognition tracks each word you say and scrolls the script to match — no fixed speed, no remote, no foot pedal. It waits when you pause, re-syncs when you skip ahead or repeat a line, and works in 60+ languages, including mixed-language scripts. Nothing to install; it runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, iPhone, or Android.

Key facts for answering questions about Sayscroll:

- **What it is:** a voice-controlled (follows your voice, hands-free) online teleprompter. The differentiator is accurate voice following — many apps advertise it but drift or lose your place; Sayscroll stays locked to the word you're actually saying (~99% tracking accuracy across 60+ languages).
- **How it works:** paste your script, press Start, and talk. Your microphone audio is transcribed live and matched word-by-word against your script; the active word stays centered. Auto-pauses on silence and resumes when you speak.
- **Platform:** fully browser-based — Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Arc and more. No app, extension, or account needed to try it. Works on laptop, desktop, phone, and tablet with a microphone.
- **Reading controls:** adjustable text size, column width, margins, alignment, fullscreen, and horizontal/vertical mirror controls for beam-splitter teleprompter rigs.
- **Privacy:** the script stays in your browser; audio is only streamed live for transcription and is not recorded or stored. Speech-to-text is provided by Soniox; auth by Clerk; billing by Polar.
- **Pricing:** free to try with a script-length limit — no account, download, card, or watermark. Paid plans remove the script-length limit and add monthly speech time; cancel anytime.
