Best teleprompter for Android. Open in Chrome on any Android phone or tablet. Voice scroll free. No Play Store download. Setup guide for Samsung, Pixel, and all Android devices.
Setup in 4 steps
- 1
Open Chrome on your Android device
Go to scrollcue.com in Chrome. Voice scroll requires Chrome on Android — not Firefox, Samsung Internet, or other browsers — because Chrome has the best Web Speech API support on Android.
- 2
Paste your script and set font size
Tap the script area and paste your content. Use 48–56px for a phone at arm's length below a webcam, or 56–64px for a tablet at a greater distance.
- 3
Enable voice scroll
Tap the microphone icon and allow microphone access when Chrome prompts. The script follows your speaking pace automatically. When you stop speaking, it stops.
- 4
Position below your camera and record
Place the device directly below your camera lens. Aim for under 5 degrees between your eye line and the lens for invisible eye movement in video.
Android vs iPhone for teleprompter use
The main difference is the browser requirement. On iPhone, voice scroll requires Safari. On Android, voice scroll requires Chrome. Both use the Web Speech API built into the browser — your audio never leaves the device. The accuracy and behaviour are comparable across both platforms at equivalent speaking paces.
Android tablets — particularly larger models like the Samsung Galaxy Tab or Google Pixel Tablet — function similarly to an iPad as a teleprompter display. The larger screen lets you use bigger font sizes at greater distances, which reduces visible eye movement in video.
Device-specific notes
Samsung Galaxy phones
Chrome works well. You can also try Samsung Internet browser — it has partial Web Speech API support, but Chrome is more reliable for voice scroll.
Google Pixel phones
Chrome is the default browser and voice scroll works out of the box. Pixel microphone quality is generally good for accurate voice tracking.
Samsung Galaxy Tab
Larger screen means you can use 56–72px font at 60–90cm distance. The tablet functions as a near-monitor-quality prompter display for DSLR setups.
Budget Android phones
Any Android phone running Chrome works. Voice scroll performance depends more on microphone quality than processor speed. An external microphone improves accuracy significantly.
Android tablets generally
Pair with the QR remote feature (Pro) to control the prompter from a second device so you can start takes without touching the screen.
Add to Home Screen
In Chrome on Android, tap the three-dot menu and select "Add to Home Screen". ScrollCue then opens in full-screen mode without the browser address bar — it looks and behaves like a native app without any Play Store install. The shortcut stays on your Home Screen for instant access.
