How the online teleprompter works
This teleprompter runs entirely in your browser. Your script never leaves your device, and nothing is stored or uploaded. The text scrolls smoothly at the speed you set, with font size and layout optimized for easy reading at a distance.
You can adjust the scroll speed from 5 to 200 pixels per second. This covers everything from slow narration (for long-form content or beginners) to fast delivery (for experienced speakers or short scripts). The adjustable text size (24 to 96 px) fits everything from phones to large monitors.
Mirror mode flips the text horizontally for use with beam-splitter glass teleprompter rigs. If you’re recording with a camera behind glass, this ensures the words face the right way when reflected. Fullscreen mode removes distractions and maximizes reading area.
The tool doesn’t record video or audio. It’s designed for use alongside your recording device—your phone, webcam, or camera. The interface shows a live word count and estimated read time, based on a typical 140 words per minute pace. This helps you plan your delivery and avoid overruns.
The teleprompter works entirely in your browser, so your script stays private. For recording or editing, try Video trimmer.

A teleprompter is a tool that scrolls your script so you can read it while looking at the camera, helping you deliver lines smoothly and confidently.
Settings explained
Scroll speed controls how fast your script moves up the screen. Start slow—around 20–40 px/s is comfortable for most people new to reading on camera. If you’re a fast reader or doing short takes, try higher speeds. You can nudge the speed up or down with the arrow keys even while scrolling.
Text size changes how large the words appear. For a phone or small screen, 24–36 px is often enough if the device is close. For a laptop, monitor, or if you’re a few feet away, use 48–96 px. If you squint or lose your place, increase the size until you can read comfortably without moving your head.
Mirror mode flips the script horizontally for glass teleprompter rigs. Only use this if your text is being reflected onto glass in front of the camera. For direct viewing on a laptop or phone, leave mirror mode off. Fullscreen mode (F11 or the fullscreen button) helps you focus and lines up the text with your lens.
Tips for smooth teleprompting and honest alternatives
Keep the teleprompter window as close to your camera lens as you can. If your eyes move too far from the lens, viewers will notice you’re reading. On laptops, place the window just under the webcam. With a phone, hold it just below the camera or use a tripod with a glass teleprompter attachment.
Pace yourself. Start slow—most people speak slower on camera than they expect. Use the estimated read time as a guide, but don’t be afraid to pause the scroll and breathe. Practicing with the spacebar and arrow keys will help you find your natural rhythm.
For recording, your device’s built-in camera app or webcam software works well. Windows Clipchamp and macOS iMovie can record and edit video, but neither has an integrated teleprompter. On iOS, the built-in Camera app is reliable, but you’ll need to split-screen or use a second device for prompting. Android’s gallery apps are similar. CapCut desktop offers a script import feature, but it’s not as flexible for live prompting and may require an account.
If you need a basic prompt on video calls, you can float a notepad window or use the browser’s split-screen. VLC and Audacity aren’t designed for teleprompting. For more advanced setups, there are paid apps with camera integration, but Videozify’s tool covers the essentials for free and keeps your script private.
Frequently asked questions
Does this teleprompter record my video or audio?
- No. The teleprompter only scrolls your script in your browser. You’ll need to use your phone, webcam, or camera to record yourself.
Is my text uploaded or saved anywhere?
- No. Your script stays in your browser memory and is never sent to a server or saved after you close the page.
How do I control the scroll while reading?
- Press the spacebar to start or pause scrolling. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the speed instantly. This lets you match your real pace, even if you slow down or speed up.
Can I use this with a glass teleprompter rig?
- Yes. Turn on mirror mode to flip the text horizontally so it appears correct when reflected onto glass in front of your camera lens.
What’s the best way to align the teleprompter with my camera?
- Position the teleprompter window as close to your camera lens as possible. On a phone, hold the device just below or beside the lens. On a monitor, move the window so your eyes stay near the lens line.
How does the reading guide band work?
- The guide band is a horizontal highlight that helps you focus on one line at a time. You can read just above or inside the band to keep your eyes steady and avoid skipping lines.
How is estimated read time calculated?
- It’s based on your script’s word count, assuming about 140 words per minute. This is close to a typical speaking pace for clear delivery.
Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
- Yes. The teleprompter runs in any modern browser, including Chrome, Safari, and Edge on phones and tablets. Adjust text size to suit your screen.
What’s the maximum script length?
- There’s no hard limit, but extremely long scripts (over 10,000 words) may scroll less smoothly on older devices. For long sessions, split your script into sections.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Yes. Spacebar starts and pauses scrolling. Up and down arrows adjust speed. F11 or the fullscreen button toggles fullscreen mode.
