## How to use a teleprompter for Reels

1. Paste your script into Float Script and tap **Start**.
2. Open Instagram, tap **+** and choose **Reel**.
3. Move the floating window to the top, near the front camera.
4. Record. With Follow my words, the script follows your voice and waits when you pause.
5. Edit and post in Instagram as usual.

The window also floats over Edits, Instagram's video app, and over any other camera app. If you film in the iPhone Camera app instead, here's how to [read a script while recording](https://floatscript.app/read-script-while-recording) there.

## The Edits teleprompter or Float Script?

Edits, Instagram's video editing app, has a teleprompter in its camera. If you film every Reel in Edits and a steady speed suits you, it does the job. Float Script is for when you want the script to keep up with you, or you film in Instagram itself, TikTok or the iPhone Camera app.

## Film Reels in clips without losing your place

Instagram lets you record a Reel in several clips. With Follow my words, the script waits on the line you reached while you set up the next clip, and moves again as soon as you start talking.

- Put the hook in the first line, so the Reel opens on it.
- Make the text big enough to read at arm's length. The size slider changes the window and the editor together.
- Keep each clip to one idea, so a retake only costs you a few lines.

## Questions

### Will the script show up in my Reel?

No. The floating window is only on your screen, and Instagram records what the camera sees.

### Does Follow my words work while Instagram is recording?

Yes. It keeps listening while Instagram records, so the script moves with your voice through the whole take. Here's more on how the [voice activated teleprompter](https://floatscript.app/voice-activated-teleprompter) works.

### Can I film a Reel in several clips?

Yes. With Follow my words, the script waits where you left off while you're not talking, so the next clip starts on the right line.

### Can I use the same script on TikTok?

Yes. The script stays in Float Script, so you can open TikTok next and read it again. See the [teleprompter for TikTok](https://floatscript.app/teleprompter-for-tiktok).

### What are the limits?

Float Script doesn't record or edit video, so you still film and post in Instagram. Follow my words doesn't work for Chinese, Japanese or Thai scripts. It's for iPhone and iPad only.
