Record a self-tape

A teleprompter that scrolls to your voice, on your phone's camera — or on the camera you actually film with.

  1. Open your script and tap Self-Tape.
  2. Pick the part you're reading. Your lines drive the teleprompter.
  3. Tap a scene, then Record first take, and turn the phone sideways.
  4. Roll as many takes as you like. Switch on PRINT for the keeper in each scene.

The prompter follows your voice — it doesn't run on a timer. Your lines are in amber. The mic meter turns red if you're too loud.

Landscape recorder mid-take — prompter overlay, current line in amber, REC timer, mic meter, bottom toggles.

The prompter scrolls word by word as you speak.

Filming on a proper camera

Tap Run-through (no recording) and Subtext drives the teleprompter without recording anything. Film on whatever camera you like, then bring the clip back in with IMPORT A CLIP.

Cut it and send it

  1. Tap Assemble & Export.
  2. Add your slate, trim the clips, and switch on the fades if you want them.
  3. Tap Assemble & Export again and name it — Subtext offers the casting standard.
  4. Tap Get shareable link.

Your agent opens the link in a browser, watches the tape, and downloads it. No app, nothing to unzip. The link works for thirty days.

Edit & Export — slate card at top, two clip cards, the Fade and Clean up audio toggles.

Slate, clips, fades, and a pass over the sound.
