Tellie 1.5 tracks what you haven’t said
Tellie 1.5 turns a Mac teleprompter into an on-device speaking assistant that tracks spoken words, marked talking points, timing, and omissions. Its 3 MB app hides from Zoom and screen recordings, with no account or telemetry.
Tellie’s strongest idea is replacing brittle auto-scrolling with script-aware state tracking—useful for anyone who needs to sound natural without losing structure.
- –Word-level matching tolerates pauses, skipped lines, improvisation, and off-script phrasing.
- –Stagehand turns important script sections into a live checklist and flags what remains uncovered.
- –Local speech recognition and screen-share invisibility make it well suited to pitches, demos, lessons, and auditions.
- –The trade-off is a narrow Mac-only workflow that depends on transcription accuracy and thoughtful point-marking.
- –It is a neat example of focused local AI delivering more value through context than through a larger model. [Tellie](https://tellieapp.com/)
