Use a teleprompter online for a spoken rehearsal

This free browser teleprompter scrolls text you paste into the editor. Use it for a presentation opening, a recorded explanation, a classroom speech or a full-script practice run. It is a reading display; recording, microphone control and voice-following are not built into this tool.

A one-minute setup that starts with your voice

1. Paste one short passage and leave mirror mode off for an ordinary screen.
2. Place the display near the camera or speaking direction you will actually use.
3. Choose a text size you can read without leaning forward. The right size depends on distance, screen and eyesight.
4. Start slowly, speak naturally, then change the scroll setting until the text stays comfortably ahead of you.
5. Pause at a deliberate break. With the reading display focused, Space pauses or resumes; the same key in the script editor should type a normal space.

Scroll speed is not words per minute

The speed control moves pixels, not a fixed number of words. Changing the font size, screen width or paragraph spacing changes how many words pass through the display at the same setting. Recheck the speed after adjusting the layout, and use the rehearsal timer to measure the actual delivery.

Mark the script for speaking

Use short paragraphs at thought boundaries and write numbers as you intend to say them. A note such as “[pause for chart]” is a reminder for you; this teleprompter does not interpret it or pause automatically. Explain one chart aloud before returning to the next line rather than trying to read and examine the visual at the same time.

Mirror mode, fullscreen and mobile use

Mirror mode reverses the reading display horizontally for rigs that need reflected text. Turn it off when reading directly from a phone or laptop. Fullscreen depends on browser support and may be unavailable on some mobile devices; the normal reading display still works when fullscreen is not supported. Rotate your device before setting the final text size and speed.

If the script stops moving

Check whether the text is longer than the reading window. A short passage may already be fully visible, leaving nothing to scroll. Use a longer passage, adjust the text size, or try the sample. The reader stops at the end; use Back to top before starting another take. Pause playback before manually changing your position.

Keep your own copy

The script is used locally by this tool and is not saved after a refresh. Keep an original copy in your own document before closing the tab, navigating away or changing devices. Avoid pasting private material into a shared screen that other people can see.

For an argument rather than a memorized reading, try the persuasive speech topics with evidence prompts. Once the reasoning is clear, use the teleprompter to practice pauses and wording, then deliver the final request while looking toward your audience.
