Free online teleprompter

While it is running: space pauses, the arrow keys nudge the script and R sends it back to the top to edit.
FAQs
Teleprompters, answered
Is this teleprompter free?
Yes, and there is nothing to sign up for — no account, no trial, no watermark, no limit on how long a script can be. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is no per-use cost to recover.
Does my script leave my browser?
No. The script is never sent anywhere. It is kept in your browser’s local storage so it survives a refresh and is still there next time, and it stays on the device you typed it on. There is no account for it to be attached to. Clearing your browser data clears the script.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes, and that is the usual setup — the phone is both the camera and the prompter. The text size scales to the screen, so a phone does not end up showing six words a line. The screen is also held awake while the script is scrolling, which is the thing that normally makes prompting from a phone frustrating.
Can I use it with a teleprompter mirror?
Yes. Mirror mode flips the text horizontally so it reads correctly through a beam splitter, and there is a separate vertical flip for rigs that need it. Both are in the settings panel.
How fast should the script scroll?
Set the pace to your speaking speed rather than speaking to match the scroll. Conversational delivery is roughly 130 words a minute, which is the default; news reading sits nearer 150–160. The readout tells you how long the script takes at the pace you pick. If you are hurrying to keep up, the pace is too high — chasing the scroll is what makes a read sound rushed.
Why does it still look like I am reading?
Usually eye movement rather than delivery. Long lines make your eyes track from side to side and that is plainly visible on camera, while short lines keep them almost still. That is what the line-width control is for, and why it defaults far narrower than you would want for reading prose. Beyond that, get the prompter as close to the lens as the setup allows.
Does the iPhone have a built-in teleprompter?
No. There is no teleprompter in the iOS Camera app or anywhere else in the system, which is why the App Store carries so many of them. This one runs in Safari, so there is nothing to install and nothing to update.
Does Google have a teleprompter?
Not as a product. People improvise with Google Docs, or with the speaker notes in Slides, and scroll by hand. That works, but none of them give you a pace control, a reading line to fix your eyes on, or mirroring for a beam splitter.
