New in version 16.5, available now
From idea to posted
A teleprompter app, auto captions, hook ideas and a posting schedule for creators, all in the same app as your daily camera drill. Speech-to-text and captions run on your phone, so nothing is uploaded.
Your path: six stages to your first brand deal
Find your thing, own the camera, make real videos, post on a schedule, grow an audience, get paid. The home screen always shows the next step, and steps tick off from what you have already done. Followers are typed in by you; the app does not connect to any social account.
Three video ideas every day
New ideas each day, built from your own content pillars, so you are never staring at a blank screen before filming.
A hook library with 32 first lines
Eight types of opening: mistake, question, myth, number, result first, insider, story and challenge. Each line comes with a note on why it works.
Script writer and teleprompter
Write the hook, three beats and the ask, then film with a teleprompter that scrolls right under the lens. Pick slow, normal or fast.
Auto captions and ready-to-post text
Captions are made on the phone and burned into the video. Post text and hashtags are ready for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts: copy, share, save, then tap “I posted it”.
A posting plan that keeps you going
Pick your posting days, get a note on those days and keep a weekly posting streak.
Practice on camera
The Startell Media app is a daily camera coach: one short drill, a score measured on your phone, the one thing to fix tomorrow. New in 16.5: a teleprompter, auto captions, hook ideas and a posting plan.
