Where podcasts go off the rails

It's rarely the conversation — it's the connective tissue. The intro you re-record five times, the sponsor read where you swap a word and have to redo it, the segment where you blank on the next question. Every one of those pulls your eyes to a notepad and breaks the connection with your audience.

Put that structure on a prompter at the camera line and it disappears as a problem. Your bullets and exact reads are right by the lens, scrolling with your voice, while you stay present.

What Lumi does for your show

  • Script at the camera line. Intro, transitions, and questions by the lens, so you hold eye contact through the episode.
  • FlowPrompt follows your voice. It waits while you listen to a guest and resumes when you talk — built for the stop-start rhythm of a conversation.
  • Clean ad reads. Keep sponsor copy exact at the camera line and nail it in one take, word-for-word, still looking at the lens.
  • Recorder built in. Prompt and record in one app on macOS and Windows, or run it alongside your existing setup.

Set up an episode

  1. 1

    Drop in your rundown

    Intro, segment order, key questions, and any ad reads. Bullets for flow, full text for the parts that must be exact.

  2. 2

    Place it under the camera

    Position the prompter at the top of the screen near the lens so your gaze stays with your audience.

  3. 3

    Record with voice-following on

    Turn on FlowPrompt and start. The rundown scrolls as you host, pauses for your guest, and keeps you on track end to end.

Frequently asked questions

Why would a podcaster use a teleprompter?+
Video podcasts live and die on eye contact. A teleprompter keeps your intro, segment transitions, ad reads, and key questions at the camera line so you stay locked on the lens instead of glancing at notes — and you never fumble a sponsor read or forget where the conversation was going.
Doesn't reading make a podcast sound scripted?+
Only if you read everything word-for-word at a fixed speed. Most podcasters keep bullets for structure and full text only for the parts that must be exact, like ad reads. With voice-following scroll, the script moves at your natural pace, so it sounds like you're talking, not reciting.
Can I use it for interview-style episodes?+
Yes. Keep your questions and must-hit points on the prompter at the camera line. FlowPrompt pauses when you stop to listen to your guest and resumes when you speak, so your notes are there without pulling your eyes off the conversation.
Is it good for solo shows and ad reads specifically?+
Especially. Solo episodes and sponsor reads are where memory slips hurt most. Having the exact wording at the lens means clean ad reads and a confident solo delivery in fewer takes.
Can I record the video in the app?+
On macOS and Windows, yes — Lumi has a built-in recorder alongside the prompter. Many podcasters also run their usual recording setup; Lumi just keeps the script at the camera line while they do.
What does it cost?+
Lumi is $9/month or $27 once. One purchase covers Mac, Windows, and the web version.
