Shootsolo is a voice command camera app for iPhone and Android that runs your entire shoot with spoken commands. Say "start recording" to begin, "stop recording" to finish, then "yes" to keep or "no" to reshoot — no touch needed.
A voice command camera is a camera app that responds to spoken instructions instead of taps and button presses. Shootsolo is purpose-built for solo creators who need to direct their own shoots without walking off camera or fumbling with their phone.
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.
If you've tried using "Hey Siri" or "Hey Google" to start recording, you already know the native OS voice commands are clunky and unreliable. Shootsolo is built from the ground up as a voice command camera, so recording, reviewing, and take management all happen through one smooth spoken interface.
You can say "start recording" to begin and "stop recording" to end each take. The app then asks "Save take?" — say "yes" to keep it or "no" to reshoot. You can also customize your command keywords in the settings.
You need to open Shootsolo first — you can use Siri to launch the app, then talk to Shootsolo directly. Once open, it's faster and more reliable than Siri or Google Assistant for camera control.
No — Shootsolo uses your phone's built-in microphone, so no extra gear is required. You can also use an external mic if you choose to.
Yes, you can say "stop recording" at any point during the shot to end the take.
It depends on how noisy the environment is and how well your device's microphone handles speech recognition. In most typical filming environments Shootsolo works reliably, but extremely loud settings may affect accuracy.
Available on iPhone and Android.
