getcta is a macOS teleprompter that places a script beneath the MacBook notch, follows spoken words, and stays hidden from screen sharing and recordings. Its optional AI tools help users create, rewrite, and rehearse scripts for video and online presentations.
What is getcta?
getcta is a macOS teleprompter that places a script in a small black panel beneath the MacBook notch, directly below the camera. Its purpose is to keep a speaker’s eyes near the lens while reading during recordings, video calls, and online presentations.
The free prompter provides auto-scroll, manual speed settings, hover-to-peek, resizing, keyboard shortcuts, and display above other windows. Pro adds voice-follow, which highlights and scrolls through the script based on speech, plus AI tools for writing, rewriting, timing, and editing scripts. The product states that speech recognition runs on the Mac and that the prompter is hidden from supported screen-sharing and recording applications.
What can getcta do?
Voice-follow scrolling
The Pro mode recognizes speech on the Mac, highlights the word being spoken, and scrolls through the script. It pauses when the speaker stops and can continue through a headset, including AirPods and Bluetooth headsets.
Hidden during sharing and recording
The prompter is designed to remain hidden from screen sharing and recordings in Zoom, Meet, OBS, and QuickTime, so the script is not shown to viewers through those applications.
Editor controls and shortcuts
The editor supports manual scrolling speeds of 120, 150, and 180 words per minute, text sizes, panel width and height controls, and keyboard shortcuts for starting, pausing, moving between sentences, and opening the AI command.
AI script tools
Pro users can generate scripts from topics, notes, or pasted articles; rewrite text for spoken delivery; fit scripts to selected durations; and request changes such as a new hook or call to action. AI changes can be reviewed, accepted, rejected, or undone.
Imported notes and Creator Profile
AI can use read-only Notion and Google Drive sources, including Google Docs, as well as .txt, .md, .docx, and .pdf files. A Creator Profile stores details about the user’s channel, audience, speaking style, and words to avoid for later AI requests.
Use Cases
“Recording videos near the camera”
YouTubers and other video creators can read prepared lines from beneath the camera while keeping their gaze closer to the lens than when reading from a separate document window.
“Presenting on Zoom or Meet”
People giving online presentations can keep prompts available during a call while the script panel remains hidden from supported screen-sharing workflows.
“Creating demos and pitches”
Founders and presenters can turn notes, a pasted article, or a connected Google Doc or Notion page into a spoken script, then use the prompter while recording a demo or pitch.
“Preparing lessons and short-form content”
The AI generator supports formats including Reels and hooks, YouTube videos, lessons, talks, and other scripts with target lengths from 15 seconds to 3 minutes.
