Selvi Alternative — Native AI Teleprompter Overlay for Screen-Based Workflows

Native Overlay for Screen-Based Workflows

Selvi's design assumption: you're the subject, your face is on camera, your script overlays on the camera feed. ShareSpeak's design assumption: your laptop is doing screen-based work (sharing a demo, recording a tutorial, hosting a call), and you need the script floating on top of whatever the laptop is showing — invisible to capture.

That difference matters for:

• Sales reps demoing products — your prospect sees the product UI you're sharing, not your face. Selvi's camera overlay is irrelevant; ShareSpeak's screen overlay is essential.
• Course creators recording tutorials — Camtasia/ScreenFlow record your screen, not your camera. ShareSpeak overlay invisible; Selvi's separate camera app doesn't apply.
• Streamers — OBS captures game audio + screen + webcam composite. ShareSpeak invisible to all of these; Selvi's standalone selfie capture doesn't fit streaming workflows.
• Webinar hosts — slides on screen share, audience sees presentation. ShareSpeak invisible overlay on slides; Selvi designed for solo camera, not screen sharing.

AI Voice Tracking — Hands-Free Through Real Conversations

Selvi's scrolling is manual or fixed-speed auto. For short selfie videos with a rehearsed 30-60 second script, this works. For longer real conversations — sales calls, podcast interviews, webinar Q&A, technical demos — fixed-speed scroll breaks down within minutes.

ShareSpeak follows your voice with on-device AI speech recognition:

• Prospect interrupts mid-pitch? Pause — script waits.
• Need to explain a concept slower? Slow down — script slows with you.
• Going off-script for an unscripted moment? Improvise — pick back up when you return.
• 2-hour interview show? Voice tracking holds across the entire session.

Mac AND Windows — Not Apple-Ecosystem-Only

Selvi runs on Apple Silicon Macs, iOS, and Android. It doesn't run on Windows or Linux. For Mac creators inside the Apple ecosystem, that's fine. For:

• Windows-issued enterprise laptops — common for sales reps, customer success, B2B presenters
• Intel-era Macs (pre-M1) — Selvi requires Apple Silicon, leaving older Mac users without an option
• Mixed teams — companies with Mac + Windows laptops sharing the same tool

ShareSpeak runs native on both desktop platforms — one license covers Mac and Windows. If you change jobs or your company switches laptop policy, ShareSpeak follows you.

$12.50 Once, No In-App Purchase Drip

Selvi starts at $4.99 — genuinely affordable. But the in-app purchase model means features unlock over time as you discover what you actually need:

• Selvi base — $4.99
• Selvi extra features — $1.69 (in-app purchase)
• Additional unlocks — vary per platform and feature tier

Total Selvi spend often ends up between $7-15+ once you've unlocked the features you actually want. Mac, iOS, and Android versions sometimes require separate purchases per platform.

ShareSpeak: $12.50 once. Every feature unlocked. Free updates forever. No in-app purchase prompts, no upgrade nudges, no Pro tier behind a paywall.

Invisible to Every Other Tool You Use

Selvi captures its own video and creates its own output. It doesn't overlay on third-party apps. Your finished video is a Selvi video.

ShareSpeak overlays on whatever tool you're using and stays invisible to it:

• Zoom, Teams, Meet — invisible during screen share
• Loom — invisible in async recordings
• OBS, Streamlabs, StreamYard, Restream — invisible to streaming capture
• Camtasia, ScreenFlow — invisible to tutorial recording
• QuickTime, Riverside, Squadcast — invisible to all of them

Your existing tools handle the recording or streaming. ShareSpeak just adds the invisible script layer.

When Selvi Is Actually the Right Tool

We won't pretend ShareSpeak replaces Selvi for everyone. Choose Selvi when:

• Solo selfie video creator — TikTok, Reels, vertical YouTube shorts where you're filming yourself with a phone or built-in camera
• All-in-one preference — you want camera + teleprompter + recording in one app, not three tools
• Mobile-first workflow — recording from iOS or Android primarily; ShareSpeak is desktop-only
• Short scripts — 30-90 second pieces where AI voice tracking doesn't add much
• Russian or Ukrainian language preference — Selvi has localized UI
• Budget-conscious for occasional use — $4.99 entry is lower than $12.50

For everyone else — laptop-based workflows, sales demos, screen recordings, streaming, long-form interviews, cross-platform teams — ShareSpeak's screen-overlay design is the right shape.
