Complete Guide to the Teleprompter App

What is a Teleprompter?

A teleprompter is a display device that shows text to a speaker or presenter, allowing them to read their script while maintaining eye contact with the audience or camera. This application provides a digital teleprompter solution that runs entirely in your web browser, making it accessible from any device without requiring specialized hardware.

Professional teleprompters are essential tools for video production, live presentations, news broadcasting, and public speaking. They enable smooth, natural delivery by eliminating the need to memorize scripts or look down at notes, resulting in more engaging and professional presentations.

Script Management

The Scripts section allows you to create, organize, and manage multiple scripts. This is particularly useful when you need to prepare different presentations, segments, or variations of your content. Each script is stored locally in your browser, ensuring your content remains private and accessible even when offline.

Why this matters: Professional presenters often work with multiple scripts for different occasions, audiences, or time constraints. Having organized script management means you can quickly switch between versions, make last-minute edits, and maintain a library of your content for future use.

  • Create: Start new scripts for different presentations or segments
  • Rename: Organize your scripts with descriptive names
  • Delete: Remove scripts you no longer need
  • Switch: Quickly change between scripts without losing your place

Rich Text Editor

The Editor provides a full-featured rich text editing experience, similar to word processors. You can format your script with headings, bold text, italics, lists, and more. This formatting helps you structure your content for better readability and organization.

Why this matters: Well-formatted scripts are easier to read during presentation. Headings help you navigate through sections, bold text emphasizes key points, and proper paragraph breaks create natural pauses. The editor also provides real-time word count and estimated reading time, helping you manage your presentation length.

The editor automatically saves your work as you type, so you never lose your progress. All formatting is preserved when you switch to the display view, ensuring your script appears exactly as you intended.

Display and Playback Controls

The Display section is where you actually use the teleprompter. It shows your script in a large, readable format with smooth scrolling. The playback controls allow you to start, pause, and stop the scrolling, giving you complete control over the pace of your presentation.

Why this matters: Professional teleprompters require precise control. Being able to pause allows you to take breaks, answer questions, or adjust your delivery. The seek bar (scrubber) lets you jump to any point in your script, which is essential for rehearsals, retakes, or when you need to reference specific sections.

  • Timer: Tracks elapsed time and estimates total duration, helping you stay on schedule
  • Progress Bar: Visual indicator of your position in the script
  • Jump Controls: Quickly navigate to the start or end of your script
  • Fullscreen Mode: Maximizes the display for better visibility and a distraction-free experience

Customization Settings

Every presenter has different needs based on their reading speed, distance from the screen, lighting conditions, and personal preferences. The Settings section provides comprehensive customization options to tailor the teleprompter to your specific requirements.

Scroll Speed

Adjustable from 10 to 200 pixels per second. Slower speeds are better for detailed explanations or when reading complex material. Faster speeds work well for announcements or when you're comfortable with the content. You can adjust this in real-time during playback to find your optimal pace.

Typography Controls

  • Text Size: Ranges from 16px to 64px. Larger text is essential when viewing from a distance, such as when the teleprompter is positioned away from the camera or when using a teleprompter glass setup.
  • Line Height: Controls spacing between lines (1.0 to 3.0). Increased line height improves readability and makes it easier to track your position while scrolling.
  • Letter Spacing: Adjusts character spacing (-2px to 5px). Slightly increased letter spacing can improve readability, especially at larger font sizes or when viewing from a distance.

Reading Guide Line

A horizontal line that follows the text as it scrolls, positioned at your reading level. This visual aid helps maintain consistent eye position and reduces the need to move your eyes up and down the screen.

Why this matters: Professional teleprompters use guide lines to help presenters maintain natural eye contact. By keeping your eyes focused on a consistent position, you appear more confident and engaged. The guide line is customizable in both color and opacity, allowing you to make it as subtle or prominent as needed.

Display Colors

Customize both background and text colors to match your environment. The app automatically ensures sufficient contrast for readability. Dark backgrounds with light text are standard for teleprompters as they reduce eye strain and work well in various lighting conditions. However, you can choose any color combination that works best for your setup.

Advanced Features

Mirror Text

When using a teleprompter glass (a one-way mirror placed in front of the camera), the text needs to be horizontally flipped. The mirror reflects the text so it appears correctly to you while remaining invisible to the camera. This feature is essential for professional video production setups where the teleprompter is positioned directly in front of the camera lens.

Loop Playback

Automatically restarts the script from the beginning when it reaches the end. This is particularly useful for practice sessions, allowing you to rehearse repeatedly without manually restarting. It's also helpful for continuous presentations or when displaying information in a loop.

Video Recording

Record your teleprompter session as a video file. This is useful for creating reference materials, sharing practice sessions, or documenting your presentation. The recording captures exactly what appears on the teleprompter display, including all formatting, colors, and scrolling behavior. Recordings are saved as WebM files, which are widely compatible with video editing software.

Export and Import

Export your scripts and settings to a JSON file for backup, sharing, or transferring between devices. Import functionality allows you to restore your content or load scripts created elsewhere. This ensures your work is never lost and can be easily shared with team members or moved to different computers.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts provide quick access to essential functions without using the mouse, which is crucial during live presentations. They allow you to control the teleprompter while maintaining focus on your delivery.

Why this matters: Professional presenters need hands-free control. Keyboard shortcuts enable you to pause, adjust speed, or navigate your script without breaking eye contact or disrupting your flow. This is especially important during live broadcasts or recorded sessions where smooth operation is critical.

Common Use Cases

  • Video Production: Create professional videos with smooth, natural delivery. Essential for YouTube creators, corporate videos, and educational content.
  • Live Presentations: Deliver speeches, webinars, or live streams with confidence, maintaining eye contact while reading your script.
  • News Broadcasting: Read news scripts naturally while looking directly at the camera, maintaining the professional appearance viewers expect.
  • Podcast Recording: Keep your talking points organized and accessible during recording sessions.
  • Public Speaking: Practice and deliver speeches with the support of a teleprompter, reducing anxiety and improving delivery.
  • Training and Education: Create consistent training materials or educational content with precise delivery.

Best Practices

  • Practice First: Rehearse with the teleprompter before your actual presentation to get comfortable with the scrolling speed and your reading pace.
  • Adjust Speed Gradually: Start with a slower speed and increase it as you become more comfortable. It's better to read too slowly than too quickly.
  • Use Natural Language: Write your script in a conversational tone that matches how you naturally speak. This makes reading sound more natural.
  • Include Pause Markers: Add ellipses (...) or line breaks to indicate natural pauses in your delivery.
  • Test Your Setup: Before important presentations, test your display settings, colors, and font sizes in the actual environment where you'll be presenting.
  • Have a Backup: Export your scripts regularly. While the app saves automatically, having a backup file ensures you never lose your work.
  • Maintain Eye Contact: Even with a teleprompter, practice looking at the camera or audience periodically. The teleprompter should support, not replace, natural engagement.
