A voice activated video camera is a device or app that begins and ends recording based on spoken commands. Shootsolo brings that capability to your iPhone and Android phone so you can record high-quality video while your hands are full, your body is in motion, or your subject is across the room.
Shootsolo begins the take instantly — no taps, no countdown.
Shootsolo stops and asks "Save take?"
Say "yes" to keep the take or "no" to reshoot — hands-free.
Voice activation is perfect for moments where touching the phone kills the shot — cooking with wet hands, demonstrating a workout rep, or filming a long tutorial where walking back to the tripod ruins the take. Shootsolo keeps you in control without keeping you near the phone. Say "pause recording" while you prep the next step and "resume recording" when you're ready, and because it works offline, a kitchen or gym with no signal is no problem. Prefer extra gear? Shootsolo also supports external microphones and Bluetooth shutter remotes.
While the app is open, Shootsolo listens for your selected command keywords — "start recording", "stop recording", "pause recording", "resume recording", "play video" and "close video" — and acts on them instantly, with no buttons or menus needed.
Yes. Voice activation in Shootsolo works 100% offline, so you can film in a basement gym, a remote trail or anywhere else with no signal — no internet needed.
Yes. Say "play video" to watch a take in the built-in video player and "close video" to go back to the camera, so you can review a shot on the spot without touching the phone.
Shootsolo runs on most iPhones and Android devices released in the last several years — if your phone runs a recent OS version, the app will work.
Yes. In the settings you can change the "start recording" and "stop recording" keywords to other preset keywords. Shootsolo only listens for your selected keywords, so you get reliable voice activation tailored to your preference.
Shootsolo responds to voice commands in real time, so the delay between your command and the recording action is negligible.
Shootsolo only listens while the app is open and active, so battery impact during a typical filming session is minimal.
