history
Project history and usage
Textream is a free, MIT-licensed macOS teleprompter whose speech-tracking modes highlight or scroll a script as it is read.
Project history
Textream was created by Fatih Kadir Akin as a free, open-source macOS teleprompter. Its README credits an earlier idea by Semih Kışlar.
Adoption history
Distributed as a signed macOS application and through Homebrew; the official README also documents installation through the developer's Homebrew tap.
How it is used
Users paste or import a script, select word-tracking, constant-speed, or voice-activated scrolling, and present it in a notch overlay, floating window, full-screen display, Sidecar display, or browser-connected remote device. Speech processing is described as local and account-free.
Why package nerds care
Textream combines an unusually focused desktop utility with on-device speech recognition, local-network remote control, URL-scheme automation, and a documented WebSocket protocol.
Timeline
