SpeakAnchorYou read. Your audience never sees it.
SpeakAnchor shows your script right below the webcam and stays hidden when you share your screen. With a speaker timer, for Windows.
Schematic illustration. Tested when sharing the entire screen in Teams and Zoom and when recording with OBS and CapCut.
Everything you need for a smooth talk
Hidden when you share
Windows keeps the windows out of the screen capture. You see the text, everyone else sees your slides.
Speaker timer with traffic light
See the remaining time at a glance and check whether you are ahead of or behind schedule for each section.
Speed in words per minute
Smooth scrolling you can adjust at any time. A mouse click never stops the text by accident.
Clicker and shortcuts
Move between sections with a presenter clicker. Ctrl+Alt+Space starts and pauses from any app.
Phone as a remote
Scan the QR code and you are set. It uses a PIN, stays on your local network and needs no app.
Your text, your formats
Import TXT, Markdown and Word files, as well as PDFs with a text layer. Scripts are saved automatically, with earlier versions retained.
Mirroring for prompter glass
Horizontal and vertical, plus a reading line, full screen on a second monitor and adjustable opacity.
Stays on your PC
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your scripts do not leave your computer.
Click through
Ctrl+Alt+K sends clicks through the prompter to the app behind it, so you can use your slides without moving the window.
What it does, and what it doesn't
Hiding applies to screen capture, which means sharing and recording.
- Projectors and mirrored monitors show the prompter if it is on the screen being projected or mirrored.
- In that case, put it on a monitor that is not mirrored.
- A camera pointed at your screen will see it too, of course.
The main shortcuts
| Space | Start and pause |

Common questions
Can others really not see the prompter?
We tested sharing the entire screen in Teams and Zoom, and recording with OBS and CapCut. Try it in the trial with a second device before you rely on it.
Why does the trial stop after 5 minutes?
It lets you try everything. For a full talk you need the full version.
Do I need internet?
No. The app works offline. Only the Microsoft Store needs internet for purchase and updates, and the phone remote uses your local network.
Which Windows version do I need?
Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64.
Which languages does the app come in?
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Indonesian and Ukrainian. Otherwise it starts in English.
Where are my scripts stored?
As plain text files in your local app data folder. You can export any script as TXT.
