A Mac teleprompter for course creators
Course lessons need clear structure and a natural voice. GhostCue helps you keep lesson goals, examples, definitions, and transitions available while recording on Mac.
Quick answer
Course creators can use GhostCue as a Mac teleprompter for lesson outcomes, definitions, examples, pacing notes, and recap cues. It works best when exact definitions are scripted but the rest of the lesson is guided by short prompts.
GhostCue is a hidden teleprompter for Mac screen recordings. See your notes while you record; keep them out of the final video.
Course recordings are easy to over-script or under-prepare
A full script can make a lesson sound flat. No script can lead to tangents, missed definitions, and uneven pacing.
GhostCue gives course creators a practical middle ground: visible private cues that support the lesson without taking over the delivery.
When course creators should use prompts
A good lesson has structure, but it still needs room for a natural teaching voice.
Best for
- Lessons with prerequisites, definitions, examples, and recap points to remember.
- Screen-recorded tutorials where students need accurate steps and pacing.
- Longer modules where auto-scroll helps keep the lesson moving.
Watch out for
- Full scripts can flatten delivery if every line is treated the same.
- Students need pauses and recap moments; note them before recording.
- Keep examples close to the section where they are taught.
Plan lessons as cues, not essays
- Write the learning outcome at the top of the note.
- Add examples and definitions exactly where they belong.
- Mark moments where students may need a slower explanation.
- Use a recap cue before moving to the next lesson.
Examples
- Open a lesson with the learning outcome, then teach from section cues.
- Keep exact definitions visible while explaining in your own words.
- Add recap prompts before transitioning to the next module.
