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 the take 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. Say "play video" to watch a take in the built-in player, then "close video" to get back to filming. One spoken take can even be saved in portrait and landscape at the same time — something no assistant shortcut will do for you.
Shootsolo understands six recording commands: "start recording", "stop recording", "pause recording", "resume recording", "play video" and "close video". When a take ends, the app asks "Save take?" — answer "yes" to keep it or "no" to reshoot.
Yes. In the settings you can switch the "start recording" and "stop recording" keywords to other preset keywords, such as "and action" and "and cut", so you can pick the phrases that feel most natural to you.
Yes. Every voice command is included at no cost — Shootsolo is free with unlimited recording, no ads, no watermark and no subscription.
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. While recording you can say "pause recording" and "resume recording" to hold and continue the take, and "stop recording" at any point to end it.
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.
