Ear prompting availability
Last updated 2 October 2026
Ear prompting is currently unavailable in the public TellyPrompter web app. The app link below opens on-screen prompting.
What is an ear prompter?
An ear prompter plays a recorded script into an earpiece while you speak. This route is currently unavailable in the public TellyPrompter web app.
Can I start Ear prompting in TellyPrompter?
No. The public Compose screen currently offers voice following, not Ear prompting. There is no public Ear setup to start from this page.
What can I use instead?
Use the on-screen script with voice following where browser speech recognition is supported, sound following, or steady scrolling. An earpiece is not required for these modes. Chrome, Edge and Safari have speech recognition; Firefox does not.
Where does the recording go?
Previously created Ear reads remain on the device that recorded them, inside browser storage. Hiding the public entry does not upload or delete them.
Signing in syncs your scripts between devices, not your reads. A read stays on the device that recorded it.
It is deleted when you delete the script it belongs to, and when you use Reset everything.
Where does your voice go?
Speech recognition does not send audio to TellyPrompter. It uses the speech recognition built into your browser; we do not operate a speech service. A recording reaches our storage only when you choose Save to account.
Some browsers implement their speech API by sending audio to their own servers — Chrome's is documented as server-based, which is why dictation there does not work offline. Where your browser works that way, your voice reaches your browser vendor under their privacy policy rather than ours, and what they do with it is governed by their terms.
What does it cost?
Start without an account or card. On the free-first-session offer, your first complete session includes prompting, recording, retakes, review and original downloads; Pro unlocks your next sessions. Existing Free users and visitors on the earlier offer keep their ongoing Free access. There is no timer or script-length limit within your free session, and recordings have no watermark. Browser support and microphone permission still apply.
Pro unlocks continued sessions on the free-first-session offer, prepared caption, marker and rough-cut exports, organised local handoff packages and export files in editor links. Supported local exports are also included in the complete free first session. Pro includes an unlimited account script library and personal-template sync. Export readiness depends on available timing and media.
Pro costs £7 a month, £40 a year or £99 once. All options include the same Pro features. One payment includes Pro for as long as we operate TellyPrompter. See the Free and Pro pricing comparison for full details.
A free account syncs up to five scripts. Optional account recording storage is available on both Free and Pro: 1 GB per account, with a 250 MB limit per recording. Sign in and choose Save to account to upload a recording; downloading originals remains free without an account.
