Add your script
Paste or type it, pick a template, or open a .txt, .md or .docx file. Your draft saves in this browser as you go.
Set the pace
Tap Slow, Normal or Fast, or drag the speed slider anywhere from 50 to 1,000 words per minute. You can also set a finish time or use Voice follow.
Press Start and read
Keep your eyes on the line near the top. Tap to pause, drag to go back, and press Esc when you’re done.
Tap Slow, Normal or Fast, then fine tune from 50 to 1,000 words per minute, even while you read. Or set a finish time and the speed adjusts as you go.
The text moves while you speak and eases to a stop when you pause. It reads volume only, so audio never leaves your device.
Mirror, flip or both for teleprompter glass. The controls stay readable either way.
Five fonts including Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible, 18 to 140 px, weight, line height, width, alignment and all caps.
Park the line you’re reading near your camera and dim the rest so you never lose your place.
In Chrome or Edge on a computer, pop the prompter into a small window that stays on top of other apps.
Record a quick take with your script over the camera preview, then play it back or download it.
Space, the arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down all work, so most presentation clickers and game controllers do too.
Keep up to 20 named scripts in this browser and pick up where you stopped with Resume.
Reading well comes down to where your eyes go and how the words are written.
- Keep the eye line near the lens. Set it in the top third and put your camera right above the screen, so your gaze stays close to the lens.
- Narrow the text. A width around 60 percent keeps your eyes from sweeping side to side, which viewers notice.
- Find a pace you can breathe at. Start at Normal (140 WPM) and nudge the speed slider or the up and down arrow keys until you never wait for text or chase it.
- Write for the ear. Use short sentences and contractions, and put one idea on each line.
- Use bracketed cues. Notes like [pause] or [smile] show as quiet cues, so you see them without reading them out.
Script your intro and key points so you can record a whole section in one take.
Float the prompter over your call in Chrome or Edge and keep it right under your webcam.
Hit every beat of a 30 second script without glancing down at your phone.
Rehearse your talk at real pace and advance lines with a clicker.
Keep your slate and sides in view while you stay on the lens.
Follow your notes at your own pace and pause whenever you step off script.
Read intros and sponsor spots cleanly while keeping a conversational tone.
Use Finish in mode to cover your experience in exactly the time you have.
A teleprompter is a sheet of glass set at 45 degrees in front of the camera, with a screen lying underneath. The glass reflects the screen toward you while the camera looks straight through it, so you read while looking down the lens.
Reflections reverse text, so turn on Mirror. If the words look upside down in the glass, turn on Flip upside down as well.
For a quick home rig, lay a tablet or phone under clear glass or acrylic tilted at 45 degrees and put your camera behind it. Beam splitter glass gives a brighter, cleaner reflection than plain glass. Turn the screen brightness up and pick white or yellow text on black.
No glass? Use your phone on its own: set the eye line near the top, close to the front camera, and keep the text narrow.

“Now it’s way easier, my eyes gaze stays on point…”
CMW-AK, App Store review, July 20, 2024
Is this online teleprompter really free?
Yes. There’s no sign up and no watermark on test takes. Everything runs in your browser, and your scripts stay on your device.
How do I use a teleprompter?
Add your script, pick a pace and press Start. Read the line at the eye line near the top of the screen. Tap or press Space to pause, use the up and down arrows to change speed, and press Esc to finish.
How fast should a teleprompter scroll?
As fast as you speak. Start with Normal, which is 140 words per minute, then adjust while you read with the speed slider or the up and down arrows. If you’re waiting for text, speed up. If you’re chasing it, slow down. The left half of the slider covers 50 to 200 words per minute, the right half goes up to 1,000, and Finish in mode sets the speed from the length you need.
Can I use my phone as a teleprompter?
Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, add your script and press Start. It works on iPhone, Android, and any device with a browser. Set the eye line near the top so your eyes stay close to the front camera.
Is there a voice activated teleprompter mode?
Yes. Voice follow scrolls while you talk and eases to a stop about half a second after you pause. It measures your mic level on your device and doesn’t transcribe your words, so it won’t jump ahead if you skip a line. If it misses a quiet voice, raise Voice sensitivity.
How do I make a teleprompter at home?
Lay a tablet or phone under clear glass or acrylic tilted at 45 degrees, with your camera behind the glass. Turn on Mirror here, and Flip upside down if the text looks inverted in the reflection.
How do I read a teleprompter naturally?
Keep the eye line near the lens, narrow the text to about 60 percent, write short sentences for the ear and use [bracketed] cues for pauses. Run through it once at full pace before you record.
Can I record myself while I read?
Yes. Record a test take shows your camera with the script across the top of the screen. Afterward you can play the take back or download it. For 4K recording and automatic captions, use the StoriesStudio app.
Does it work with a presentation remote or keyboard?
Yes. Space, B or period plays and pauses, up and down change speed, left, right, Page Up and Page Down move one line, and Home restarts. Most clickers send those keys. Game controllers work too where the browser supports them.
Where are my scripts saved?
In this browser’s storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing your browser data deletes saved scripts, so keep a copy of anything important.
The StoriesStudio app puts your script over the camera so you can record while you read, then adds captions for you.
