How to use this tool

1. Paste or type your script in the text area.

Using the teleprompter with your webcam

Open the Webcam Recorder tool in a second tab while the teleprompter scrolls in another. Alternatively, use a physical device positioned below or above your camera to read from while recording with a separate tool.

Script formatting tips

Teleprompter scripts should be written for the ear, not the eye. The conventions differ from written prose:

• Keep sentences under 15 words. Long sentences are hard to deliver in one breath.
• Avoid complex subordinate clauses - say "Because of this, …" not "This being the case, it follows that …".
• Use a forward slash (/) to mark breathing pauses where you want to pause naturally.
• Write numbers as words: "twenty-five" reads more naturally than "25".
• Spell out abbreviations: write "United States" not "US", "kilometers" not "km".

Eye contact technique

The goal is to appear to be speaking directly to the viewer, not reading. Key tips:

• Position the screen as close to the camera lens as possible - ideally directly below or above it.
• Practice looking at the center of the teleprompter screen, not following the text down the page. Your eyes should barely move.
• Blink naturally and occasionally glance slightly off-center to avoid the fixed "teleprompter stare."
• Hardware teleprompter setups use a half-silvered mirror in front of the lens so the camera sees through the mirror while you read text reflected on it.

Font and contrast tips

The running display uses white text on black, with line spacing fixed at 1.6. The Font size slider ranges from 16–80 px and starts at 32 px; there are no color, line-spacing, or margin controls. These are general readability tips, not additional settings in this tool:

• Font size: increase the slider for a screen farther from you, then test from your speaking position. The best size depends on distance, screen size, and your eyesight.
• Contrast: the white-on-black display is already high contrast. Move the screen to avoid reflections and adjust room lighting if glare makes the text harder to see.
• Letterforms: simple, familiar sans-serif lettering is often easier to read in motion than decorative styles. This tool does not offer a font-family selector.
• Line spacing: the tool keeps line spacing at 1.6. When preparing a script, use short paragraphs and leave clear breaks between ideas so you can track your place as it scrolls.
