PromptSmart

What PromptSmart does

PromptSmart, operated by Belleau Technologies LLC (founded 2014, headquartered in New York), is a cross-platform teleprompter and video-production software suite built around its patented VoiceTrack technology. VoiceTrack performs on-device speech recognition to automatically scroll script text as the user speaks, pauses during improvisation, and resumes when the speaker returns to the script, removing the need for manual scroll control and enabling on-device operation without internet connectivity. The product spans iOS and Android mobile apps (PromptSmart Pro), a desktop Studio Edition for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the iCast web-based script editor, and a Remote Control Room accessible via the my.promptsmart.com customer portal, with end-to-end-encrypted content synchronization and optional File Sync backed by AWS-hosted infrastructure. The suite integrates with major cloud storage providers (iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box) and supports VoiceTrack in five languages.

The company monetizes via tiered subscriptions: Starter Pack at $9.99/month or $99.99/year, Teams at $19.99/month or $199.99/year with unlimited Remote Control Rooms and up to 10 nested folders, and Enterprise with custom pricing, mobile app management, and an admin panel for sub-user administration. Mobile sales historically combined a one-time $19.99 iOS purchase with separate Extended subscription add-ons, and Android transitioned to subscription in August 2019. Distribution runs through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for mobile, direct web checkout on my.promptsmart.com for desktop and subscriptions, with a Rewardful-based affiliate program offering up to 20% commission on web referrals.

Target use cases span audiobook narrators, salespeople recording personalized video outreach, social-media influencers and YouTubers, corporate professionals delivering online presentations, actors submitting self-taped auditions, clergy delivering sermons, live public speakers, and education segments. Customers cited include solo creators and very small video-production studios (e.g., Brock Sound / Dreamscape Video). The firm remains privately held with no disclosed outside funding, 1–10 employees, and a customer base described qualitatively as "thousands of satisfied customers."

Direct peers

• BIGVU: BIGVU is a video creation platform that bundles a teleprompter, AI captions, and recording workflows for creators and businesses. It competes most directly with PromptSmart's content-creator use case (influencers, salespeople, corporate video) and overlaps in subscription-based, cross-platform delivery.
• Teleprompter Premium: A long-standing iOS teleprompter app with mirroring and remote-control features. It directly competes with PromptSmart Pro in the Apple App Store for the same individual/SMB teleprompter buyer.
• Parrot Teleprompter: Voice-activated teleprompter app for iOS and Android with similar speech-recognition-driven scrolling. Parrot is the closest functional analogue to VoiceTrack and competes head-to-head for solo content creators.
• Teleprompterpad: iPad-focused teleprompter app used in broadcast and live event settings. It competes with PromptSmart Studio Edition for the iPad-driven prompting use case, especially for solo presenters and small studios.
• Cueprompter: Free, web-based teleprompter used widely in broadcast and journalism. It competes on price (free) for browser-based prompting and overlaps with PromptSmart's Studio Edition broadcast use case.

Emerging players

• Loom: Async video messaging platform widely used by corporate professionals for presentations and sales outreach. Loom competes for the same salesperson and corporate communicator segment PromptSmart targets, though without integrated teleprompting.
• Riverside.fm: Remote video recording and editing platform for podcasters, creators, and marketers. Riverside overlaps with PromptSmart's content creator and corporate video segments at the workflow level, though not in teleprompting specifically.
• Descript: Audio/video editing platform with transcription-based editing and script-driven workflows. Descript targets a similar creator and podcast/audiobook producer audience with broader editing capabilities, partially overlapping with PromptSmart's audiobook narrator and video creator segments.

Regional players

• Teleprompter Mirror / Glide Gear: Hardware teleprompter beam-splitter glass and rig manufacturers. They compete with PromptSmart's hardware-style prompting setups (e.g., Brock Fricker's half-mirrored glass use case) primarily through equipment sales rather than software.

Broad incumbents

• Autocue (Autocue Group): Established broadcast teleprompter hardware and software vendor used by major TV networks. Autocue competes with PromptSmart Studio Edition at the high end of the broadcast market, but its core business is hardware systems rather than subscription software.
