You pause and the text keeps going. You speed up and it falls behind. Mirrento listens while you talk and moves the text at your pace, so you can look at the lens and just talk.
You sit down to record a short video. You know the message. Then the camera starts, and small things go wrong.
Your eyes leave the lens. You glance down to find your line, and the viewer sees it. Why that happens.
You sound like you are reading. A timer sets the pace, so you rush to keep up or slow down to wait. It is a timing problem.
Nobody runs the prompter. You press play, walk back, sit down and start late. Filming without a crew.
One stumble costs the take. You scroll back by hand and start again. Then again.
Alone, there is no operator to fix any of this for you. That is how a three-minute video eats the evening. Where the time goes.
You slow down on the part that matters. A timer does not. On the left, the text runs on a clock, whatever you do. On the right, it moves when the voice moves and waits when the voice stops.
Filming alone, you are the talent, the operator and the person clicking the slides. Mirrento takes the jobs that pull your eyes off the lens.
Mirrento listens through your Mac's own speech recognition, on the Mac, and moves the text in short blocks as you read. Pause to think, or go off script, and it waits. Come back to the words and it picks up where you are.
Text you have already read dims a little. Text still to come stays fully readable. The word you are on is marked, and an amber line sits at the height of your camera, so your eyes stay near the lens.
Scan the QR code on your Mac and your iPhone becomes the remote, over your own Wi-Fi. Tap to play or pause. Swipe for the next chapter or the next line. Restart from the top without walking back to the desk. While it follows your voice, you can also say the wake word and a command: "prompter, next".
Put a slide marker in your script. When you read past it, Keynote or PowerPoint moves to that slide. On a call or a live demo, the see-through overlay puts your script under the notch, at the top or bottom of the screen, or in a corner, above the app you are showing. Clicks pass straight through it, and it stays out of screenshots and screen recordings.

Pause to think. It waits.
Rush the part you know. It keeps up.
Go off script. It finds you again.
Works with the Elgato prompter you already own, or any screen. One re-shoot you avoid pays for the year. Buy before 31 October 2026 and you keep the early-bird price for life.
I film almost every day. Instagram, TikTok, webinars. I own an Elgato prompter, and I genuinely love it. But every time I had to update a script, I was fighting slow, clunky software.
So I asked a simple question. Is the software the magic, or is it the screen? It's the screen. The software is replaceable. I rebuilt it in an afternoon, kept my prompter, and started adding the features I always wished it had.
The reason behind all of it is one thing: a scroll that follows what I actually say, not a timer.
Mirrento is what I use now, every single take. If you record on a Mac, it's yours too.
The scroll follows your voice rather than a clock, so wandering off the text is the normal case, not a failure. Improvise a sentence and the text waits. Come back to the wording and it picks up where you are. That is the whole reason it exists: a fixed-speed scroll punishes you for not reading exactly what is written, which is the opposite of sounding natural.
It happens, most often after a long pause or a jump backwards in the script. The scroll stops rather than running away from you, and you can nudge it manually and keep going. It is worth knowing this before you buy: this is a tool that removes most of the pace problem, not one that removes every one of them.
Yes. On your Mac, click Pair with QR code (Settings, Remote) and scan it with your iPhone. It opens a remote over your own Wi-Fi with play and pause, speed, line and chapter controls, and a Restart button that takes you back to the top. Swipe mode turns the screen into one big pad: tap to play or pause, swipe left or right for chapters, up or down for lines. While it follows your voice, you can also use voice commands: say the wake word, then a command such as next or restart.
Yes. Mirrento shows the script on any screen your Mac can see, and the Elgato prompter is one of them. If your scripts live in Elgato Camera Hub, the app has an Import from Elgato Camera Hub button that copies them into your Mirrento scripts folder. With no second screen at all, the prompter opens in a window.
The prompter itself does not. Speech recognition runs through macOS's own Speech framework, on-device only: Mirrento does not send your voice to a server. For some languages macOS has to download the on-device model first; until it is installed, Mirrento tells you to add the language in System Settings instead of falling back to Apple's servers.
