Notes float over your camera.
Record educational videos with your lesson outline visible.
A floating teleprompter built for teachers and educators. Your script sits on top of whatever app you are recording in and scrolls while you talk, so you can keep your eyes up and get the take in one go.

Everything I am saying is on a script floating above the camera app.

It scrolls by itself, at the speed I talk, so I am not scrubbing back to find my place.
slow down here
The coloured lines are notes to me — where to pause, where to smile, what not to rush.

They are for teachers and educators who would rather sound like themselves than read off a card.

One take. That is the point.
Adjust the speed to your pace. Pink lines are reminders, not words to read aloud.

The app itself
What it looks like.
Read your script from the full screen, or shrink it into a small window that stays on top of whatever else you open.
Looking for the computer app instead? CueCard for Mac and Windows keeps your speaker notes on your screen and out of your screen share.
See it work
A minute of it, in use
Short films of the app doing the one thing it is for. Each opens on YouTube.
Where it earns its place
What teachers use it for
- Lesson videos
- Explainer content
- Assignment instructions
- Student feedback videos
Presenting rather than filming? There are invisible speaker notes for teachers on a Mac or PC as well.
Also on big screens
The same teleprompter, on iPad.
CueCard Teleprompter for iPad
A screen big enough to read from a few feet away
An iPad is the screen a good many teachers end up propping under the lens. The script runs the full width of it, big enough to read from where you are standing with both hands free. Shrink it back into the floating window whenever you would rather film in an app. See CueCard Teleprompter on iPad.

CueCard for Mac and Windows
Speaker notes your screen share cannot see
Most teachers present from a laptop as well as film on a phone. On a Mac or PC the CueCard window is left out of screen capture, so a call sees your deck and never your notes — same scripts, same cues, nothing on the shared screen.

Free, with no account required, no subscription and nothing to cancel — and free on your computer too.
On your phone, iPad and watch
A teleprompter that floats over the app you film in, and cue cards for when you speak.
Written setup guide
A filming workflow for teachers
Record one explanation per clip. Put the question in the script, leave a deliberate thinking pause, and keep any diagram beside the lens so your gestures stay in frame.
-
01
Shape the script for Lesson videos
Write the lines teachers and educators need word-perfect, keep each one short, and save the script in CueCard.
-
02
Rehearse one short take
Float CueCard beside the lens, record the opening, then adjust the pace before filming the full version.
A short script to try
Select and copy this into CueCard. The [...] tags are reminders to yourself; you leave the pause when you speak.
Look at these two shapes. [point to the drawing] What stays the same when we turn one around? [pause for thinking] The position changes. The shape does not.

Frequently asked
Questions from teachers
Can I use CueCard to record lesson videos for students?
Yes. CueCard is perfect for recording educational content. Keep your lesson outline floating while you record on your phone.
Will students see the teleprompter in my videos?
No. CueCard sits on top of your camera app on screen, not in front of the lens, so the camera never records it. Your students see you and nothing else. The one exception is screen recording, which captures your whole screen — close the prompter first if that is how you are recording.
Is there a desktop version for live online classes?
Yes. CueCard for Mac and Windows lets you keep your notes off the screen during live Zoom, Meet, or Teams classes. Learn more about CueCard for Teachers on desktop.
Is CueCard free for educators?
Yes. CueCard is completely free and open source. Perfect for teachers at any level.
Do I need an account to use CueCard?
No. There is nothing to sign up for on either app, and your scripts and settings live on your device. The one exception is Google Slides sync on the desktop app, which asks you to sign in with Google so it can read the notes out of your deck. See the privacy policy for the details.
