Frequently Asked Questions

Is SyncVocal really free?

Yes! SyncVocal has a free plan that includes voice sync, Camera Mode, file imports, and unlimited scripts. Sign up takes 30 seconds with Google or email. No credit card required.

Do I need to create an account?

Yes. Creating an account lets you sync scripts across devices and access your teleprompter from any browser. Sign up is quick (30 seconds) and the free plan includes all core features.

How does voice sync work?

Voice sync uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API (the same technology behind Chrome's voice search). When active, your browser sends audio to Google's speech recognition servers. The prompter scrolls automatically as it recognizes your speech.

Is my script data private?

Yes. Scripts are stored locally in your browser and synced to your account (encrypted). We never read your scripts. You can also enable offline mode to keep scripts 100% local. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What file formats can I import?

You can import .docx (Word), .txt (plain text), .md (Markdown), .srt (subtitles), and .pptx (PowerPoint for AI drafting). Clean text is extracted instantly.

How does AI script drafting work?

Upload a PowerPoint file, choose your AI provider (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini), and provide your own API key. The AI reads your slides and generates a natural spoken script. You keep full control — bring your own API key, no additional subscription needed.

Can I use SyncVocal offline?

Yes. Enable offline mode in settings to keep scripts 100% local. Voice sync and Camera Mode work offline. AI features require internet (they call external APIs).

Does SyncVocal work with Google Slides?

Yes! Install the Chrome extension and it auto-detects Google Slides presentations, extracts speaker notes, and displays them in a floating teleprompter window with voice sync. Perfect for presentations and lectures.

What is Camera Mode?

Camera Mode is a floating, always-on-top window that you can position next to your webcam. It's perfect for YouTube videos and video calls — read your script while looking straight at the lens.

Does it work on mobile?

The web app works on mobile browsers, but the Chrome extension is desktop-only. Voice sync and Camera Mode work best on desktop.

Can I use it offline?

Yes! Once loaded, the web app works offline. Voice sync requires an internet connection (it uses Google's speech recognition), but auto-scroll works completely offline.

What browsers are supported?

The web app works in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). The Chrome extension requires Chrome or Chromium-based browsers.
