# CueLine — Press Kit & PR Outreach Package This package includes the official press release, media pitch templates tailored for tech and creator journalists, and company boilerplate. --- ## 1. Official Press Release **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** ### CueLine Launches on iOS: The Voice-Follow Teleprompter That Moves at the Speaker's Pace, Not a Timer **SAN FRANCISCO, CA — October 2026** — Independent developer team today announced the public launch of **CueLine**, a revolutionary video teleprompter app for iPhone designed to eliminate the pacing struggle of traditional video recording. Built around a proprietary deterministic on-device speech alignment engine, CueLine scrolls scripts naturally as the creator speaks—automatically pausing during breaths, rewinding on stumbles, and anchoring active text adjacent to the camera lens for seamless eye contact. For decades, digital teleprompters have relied on fixed timers or static word-per-minute (WPM) scrolling. When speakers pause to emphasize a point or stumble over a word, traditional prompts roll ahead, leading to rushed, robotic delivery and dozens of discarded takes. CueLine fundamentally solves this challenge by reversing the relationship: the prompter tracks the human voice in real-time. #### Key Innovations: - **Zero-Latency Voice-Follow Scrolling:** Speech recognition and sentence alignment execute entirely on-device via Apple's native speech framework, delivering sub-20ms responsiveness without cloud servers or latency. - **Intelligent Stumble & Pause Recovery:** Pausing immediately freezes the prompt. Repeating a phrase automatically triggers a bounded one-sentence rewind, allowing creators to restart a thought seamlessly without touching the screen. - **Lens-Adjacent Eyeline Anchor:** Active lines are pinned directly below the front-facing iPhone camera notch or Dynamic Island, maintaining natural, direct eye contact with the viewer and eliminating vertical eye wander. - **100% Private and Local-First:** No voice recordings, transcripts, or video files are ever uploaded to cloud servers or used for model training. CueLine functions fully in Airplane mode. - **Integrated Studio Camera:** Built-in front and rear 4K video recording, real-time audio VU metering, customizable margins and typography, and pro mirror-mode support for hardware beam-splitter rigs. #### Pricing and Availability: CueLine is available immediately on the iOS App Store for iPhone (iOS 15.1 or later). CueLine offers a free starter tier with comprehensive script tools, manual/timed scrolling, and a recurring free voice-follow allowance. Unlimited voice-follow is available via CueLine PRO for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year ($3.33/month). - **Website & Interactive Simulator:** https://cueline.app - **App Store Link:** https://apps.apple.com/app/id6470000000 - **Press Assets:** https://cueline.app/press-kit.zip --- ## 2. Media Pitch Templates ### Pitch 1: For Tech & Apple Journalists (e.g., 9to5Mac, MacRumors, The Verge) **Subject:** Pitch: CueLine is an iOS teleprompter that tracks your voice 100% on-device (no cloud AI) ```text Hi [First Name], I noticed your recent coverage of creator tools and on-device machine learning on iOS. Most recent video apps slap a cloud LLM into their stack, introducing 500ms of lag and sending user audio to remote servers. We wanted to see what happens when you build an uncompromising, local-first creator tool that uses Apple's native frameworks to their full potential. Today we launched CueLine (https://cueline.app) for iPhone. It's a video teleprompter with true voice-follow scrolling: 1. It listens to the speaker and scrolls the script line-by-line as they talk. 2. It pauses when they pause, rewinds automatically if they stumble or repeat a phrase, and stays calm during ad-libs. 3. Crucially, 100% of the speech alignment runs on-device. Audio never leaves the phone, it operates in Airplane mode, and responsiveness is under 20 milliseconds. 4. Active text is anchored directly beneath the camera lens, solving the "shifty eyes" effect typical of teleprompter videos. You can test our live interactive browser simulator here: https://cueline.app or I’d be happy to send a TestFlight / App Store promo code for your iPhone. Best regards, Hirak Founder & Developer, CueLine support@cueline.app | https://cueline.app ``` --- ### Pitch 2: For Creator Economy & Video Production Newsletters (e.g., Creator Hook, Colin & Samir, PetaPixel) **Subject:** Solving the #1 problem with teleprompters (runaway scrolling) ```text Hi [First Name], If you ask any solo YouTuber or short-form creator why they don't use teleprompters, you'll hear the same complaint: "I pause for one breath, the script scrolls past me, and I have to start over for Take 15." We just released CueLine (https://cueline.app), an iOS app that solves this once and for all. Instead of scrolling at a fixed speed, CueLine listens to the creator's voice in real-time: • When you speak, it advances sentence by sentence. • When you pause for breath or effect, it holds still. • When you trip on a word and repeat it, it automatically rewinds one sentence. • Active text stays locked right below the camera lens so your eye contact looks completely natural. It takes recording a 60-second video from a 30-minute ordeal down to a single take. Would you be open to checking out a promo code to test it on your next video recording? Cheers, Hirak Creator of CueLine https://cueline.app ``` --- ## 3.
