## How we compared them

We looked at what matters when you actually read a script on camera: whether the text can follow your voice instead of a fixed speed, what you can do for free, which devices it runs on, whether it records video itself, and what you have to give up (an account, a watermark, a subscription). Facts come from each product's own website and app store listing; we don't quote anonymous reviews.
