A prototype of an auto-following autocue/teleprompter.

Uses local-AI-only. It’s a web app but not using in-browser transcribe. Ive found it to be way better for recording YouTube videos direct to-camera than the existing free apps which just scroll at a fixed speed.

Open source at: https://github.com/ednutting/autocue

Python server does the recording, transcription using Vosk (or choice of other models), and an algorithm for tracking position in the script. Serves a single page that uses a web socket to connect to the backend to render the script and updates like current position.

Wow this is super cool, I had a similar idea in the past but i didn't know where to start to wire everything together. Thanks
