Online teleprompter

1. 1

   Paste your script

   One sentence per line reads best. Directions in [brackets] show on screen but take no time.

   Pick a pace and text size

   Start from relaxed, conversational or fast, and pick a size you can read from where you'll stand.

3. 3

   Play and read

   Press play or the space bar. Use − and +, or the up and down arrow keys, to match your pace while you read.

Instead of a scroll speed in pixels, the prompter times each line at a speaking pace, so a long line stays on screen longer than a short one. Lines get a short pause between them.

The three paces are starting points, not measurements: about 130, 150 or 170 words a minute for English, and 300, 350 or 400 syllables a minute for Korean. Change the speed with − and + while you read until it matches you.

Read the line on the guide, a third of the way down, with the lines coming up below it. Full screen fills the display; put the window as close to the lens as you can so your eyes stay near the camera.

With a teleprompter glass, which reflects a screen lying under the lens, turn on mirroring so the reflection reads the right way round.

Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up.

Use − and + under the text, or the up and down arrow keys. The space bar plays and pauses.

Yes. Turn on mirroring and the text is flipped, so the reflection in the glass reads the right way round.

Yes, with the on-screen buttons. The keyboard shortcuts need a keyboard, and full screen depends on the browser.
