## Detailed info

## What is Tellie?

Tellie is a Mac teleprompter with optional on-device voice following, talking-point tracking, and presentation notes near the camera.

## What Tellie does

Free access scrolls a script at a chosen pace. Pro Voice Follow matches spoken words to the script, while Stagehand checks marked points and shows what remains. Presenter Magic displays Keynote notes, and the prompter window is excluded from screen capture.

## Who Tellie is for

It is for video creators, actors, presenters, teachers, salespeople, and people speaking on video calls while keeping notes close to the lens.

## How Tellie works

Users install the app, open a supported document, press play, and set the scrolling speed. Pro users enable speech recognition and microphone permission for Voice Follow. They can mark important points, review a take, or connect Keynote notes before presenting.
