Short answer: fixed scrolling advances on a timer; voice following advances from recognized reading position. Choose fixed speed for rehearsed, time-coded delivery. Try voice following when pauses, rewrites, and repeated lines are part of the take.
Fixed scrolling vs. voice following
How voice following works
- The microphone provides live audio to the system speech-recognition service.
- The app compares recognition fragments with text near the current script position.
- The highlight and reading area advance only when the match meets the progression rules.
- During a temporary miss, the last trusted position remains; matching resumes after enough context is found.
Current CueBuddy iPhone/iPad on-device recognition paths require supported hardware, OS, language and installed resources. If unsupported, use an available alternative such as fixed scrolling. Mac requires separate verification; the web browser speech service may process audio online.
How to choose and test
- Record the same 60–90 second script once with each mode.
- Note manual corrections during pauses, repeated lines, noise, and mixed-language passages.
- Retest on the exact device, OS, language, and network conditions used for the real shoot.
- If recognition is unavailable or the room is noisy, switch to fixed scrolling and keep a manual pause control ready.
Limits and evidence
This page explains behavior and selection criteria; it does not promise fixed latency, offline recognition for every language, or accuracy in every environment. On-device paths were reviewed against current iOS source and the formal data inventory on 2026-10-13, not certified for every published build and device combination. Test the actual device before recording.
