Orate

A teleprompter that scrolls your script right under the camera, so you look at the lens. Crash-safe takes, no watermark, no account. Android now, iPhone soon.

How do creators read a whole script and never look away from the camera?

The script sits right under the lens.

Orate now speaks 18 languages.

New: Русский, Tiếng Việt and Français. Every screen, the sample scripts and both store listings, on iPhone and Android. #buildinpublic

3/4

Why these three? We looked at which languages people's phones are set to. Russian and Ukrainian were the biggest group Orate didn't speak. Vietnam was the biggest iPhone country without its language.

@talhasaleemdev Exactly hence the latest release! Show what’ll be delivered

[Orate @Orateapp]

Out now on iPhone and Android: a new Orate Pro screen.

It only sells what your phone can actually record. If your camera can't shoot 4K, 60 fps or HDR, you won't see those slides at all. #buildinpublic

[Orate @Orateapp]

64 days ago Orate was a first line of code. Today: 3,647 takes and 40h 10m of video, recorded by people in 71 countries with a teleprompter that keeps your eyes on the lens.

The journey so far, built in public. #buildinpublic

[Orate @Orateapp]

We made a 4-minute video of Orate's first 64 days, built in public: two native apps, an ad spike our analytics called organic, an App Store rejection, and the bug where a customer paid for 4K on a phone that can't record it.
