Take a breath. Look at the camera.
You don’t have to remember every word to tell a good story. You just need a little space to be yourself.
Paste your script on the left, then choose a text size that feels comfortable. Set the speed to match the way you actually speak.
When you’re ready, press Start reading. Let the words move toward the guide, and speak as if you’re talking to a friend.
Pause whenever you need to. A good take starts at your own pace.

Turn your script into an online teleprompter
An online teleprompter displays your script as large, scrolling text while you speak. Use this free browser tool to rehearse a presentation, read a YouTube introduction, or prepare a lesson without memorizing every sentence. Paste your words above and control the pace yourself; no account or app installation is required.
How to use this free teleprompter
Paste a script or import a text file
Replace the sample in Your script with your own words, or choose Import .txt. Keep one thought per paragraph and leave an empty line where you want breathing room. Word and PDF files are not imported directly; copy their text or export a UTF-8 .txt file first.
Set the size before setting the speed
Sit or stand where you will record, then choose a text size you can read comfortably. Start with the default 40 px text, 1.8× line spacing and 32 px/s scroll speed. Read a paragraph aloud and adjust; these are starting settings, not a recommended speaking rate for everyone.
Start with a countdown
Choose a 3, 5 or 10-second countdown if you need time to face the camera. Start your separate recording device, then press Start reading. The text moves upward through the reading guide. Full screen provides more space for your script.
Pause, find your place and try again
Press Pause, or scroll or swipe the script to stop and find your place. Resume continues from there; Back to start resets the position and timer. The time display measures active scrolling, excluding the countdown and pauses. Save a .txt copy when your script is ready.
Teleprompter script examples you can adapt
Use these original practice scripts as starting points. Copy the text, or download a .txt file and import it above. Replace bracketed placeholders with your own details before reading. Any directions you leave in the script remain visible as ordinary text; they do not trigger automatic pauses.
YouTube intros, Reels and short social videos
Short video: share one useful idea
Keep one problem, one example and one next step. Try the opening aloud before adding more detail.
Do you keep losing your place when recording a video?
Try splitting your script into short paragraphs. Give each paragraph just one idea.
For example, put the problem on its own line. Explain the solution in the next paragraph. Then show what it looks like in practice.
Read it once out loud. If a sentence feels awkward, rewrite it the way you would say it to a friend.
Before your next take, try this with just the first paragraph.
Use real details and a specific example. For a live interview, rehearse this opening and leave room for a conversation.
Hi, I’m [name]. I work in [field], with a focus on [specific responsibility].
A recent project I enjoyed was [project]. My role was to [action you took], and the result was [outcome you can explain].
That experience taught me [lesson relevant to this role].
I’m interested in this opportunity because [specific connection to the team or work]. I’d like to bring my experience in [skill] to help with [relevant challenge].
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.
Pause manually after the question. A blank line gives visual breathing room but the scroll keeps moving.
Today, let’s look at the difference between a task and an outcome.
A task describes something you do. An outcome describes what changes because you did it.
For example, “send a customer survey” is a task. “Understand why customers leave” is the outcome you hope to achieve.
Why does the distinction matter? You can finish the task without getting the outcome.
Think of one item on your to-do list. What change are you hoping it will create?
Write that change next to the task. Then ask whether the task is the best way to get there.
Replace the placeholders with actions your product actually supports. Pause the prompter while demonstrating each action.
If you need to [user’s task], here is one way to do it with [product].
Start by opening [screen or menu]. Choose [option], then enter [information].
Next, select [action]. You should see [visible result]. Let me show you what that looks like.
Before you finish, check [detail that matters]. If something is missing, return to [place to correct it].
You now have [completed result]. You can use it to [next useful step].
Choose a scroll speed and text size that fit your delivery
Change one setting at a time. Read the same paragraph for 20–30 seconds, then adjust based on whether you are waiting for the words or rushing to catch up.

Available settings
How to use it
Scroll speed
5–120 px/s; default 32
Lower the speed if the words leave the guide before you finish. Raise it if you keep waiting for the next line. You can change speed during playback.
Text size
24–80 px; default 40
Adjust from your actual reading distance. Larger text is easier to see, but creates more line breaks, so check your scroll speed again afterward.
Line spacing
1.3–2.5×; default 1.8×
Give each line enough separation to find your place. Changing text size or spacing pauses playback so you can check the layout.
Countdown
Off, 3, 5 or 10 seconds
Use a delay to start a separate camera and settle into position. A fresh read starts the countdown; resuming an existing read does not.
Mirror and background
Horizontal mirror; dark or light
Keep mirror off for direct reading. Use it for reflective teleprompter glass. Choose a background that stays readable in your lighting.
Pixels per second is a screen movement speed, not words per minute. Font size, line spacing, paragraph breaks and screen width all change how much speech fits into one screen. The same 32 px/s setting will not produce the same speaking rate on every device.
Use a phone, laptop or teleprompter with glass
Phone or tablet beside a camera
Open this page on the device you want to read from and keep it near the recording lens. Set the orientation before adjusting the text. Use a second phone or camera to record: this page does not record video or float over a camera app. If your browser cannot enter native fullscreen, the button opens a focus view instead.
Laptop for a presentation or video call
Place the browser near your webcam and rehearse the opening from your usual seat. Keep the prompter visible; switching to another tab pauses it. If you share your screen, share only the presentation window so your script is not included. Use a second display or device if you need to switch between apps.
Reflective glass in front of a lens
Turn on Mirror text when the display is being reflected by teleprompter glass. Check the words in the reflection from your speaking position before recording. This tool flips text horizontally; it does not provide vertical flipping or control your camera.
Make your script easier to say out loud
Write the sentence you would actually say to one person. Introduce the point first, then add an example. Expand unfamiliar abbreviations, check the pronunciation of names, and separate ideas into short paragraphs.
Written for a document
The implementation of a structured preparation process facilitates improvements in presentation delivery.
Rewritten for a spoken take
Before you record, read the first paragraph out loud. If you stumble over a sentence, shorten it. Then try again.
For a timed speech, rehearse the whole script and measure the actual delivery, including pauses. The prompter timer counts only active scrolling, so it is not a complete recording timer or a prediction of your finished video length.
When the script does not feel right
The text is moving too fast
Pause, lower the speed and scroll back to a familiar sentence. Resume at that point. Avoid speeding up your voice just to catch the text.
Your eyes keep moving across the screen
Reposition the browser window or device so the reading guide sits closer to the camera lens. Try a narrower window or portrait orientation. Make the text readable from your filming position, then record a short test to check your eye line.
Playback stopped unexpectedly
Touching, swiping or scrolling the text pauses it, as does hiding the browser tab. Layout changes such as text size and fullscreen also pause playback. Return to the prompter and press Resume when you are ready.
A text file will not import
Use a .txt file saved as UTF-8, no larger than 200 KB. Scripts are limited to 100,000 characters. Export the text again or paste it into the editor; rename alone does not convert a Word or PDF file.
Online teleprompter questions
Is this online teleprompter free and do I need to sign up?+
It is free to use and does not require an account or installation. You can paste a script, adjust the reading settings and start directly in your browser. There is no video export or watermark setting because the tool does not record video.
Can I record a video while reading the script?+
Use a separate camera, phone or recording application. This page displays and scrolls your script; it does not access the camera or microphone. Keep the prompter visible while recording, since moving it into a hidden tab pauses playback.
Does it work as a floating teleprompter over other apps?+
No. Full screen and focus view apply to this browser page, not to other applications. For a phone camera or a live-streaming app that covers the browser, use a second device to display the script.
Does the scroll speed follow my voice?+
No. Scrolling runs at the speed you select. It does not listen to your voice, detect spoken words or stop at punctuation. Use Pause for a longer break and adjust the speed slider during a read if needed.
Are my scripts uploaded or synced between devices?+
The teleprompter does not upload your script text. It saves the current script and reading settings in this browser’s local storage. They do not automatically appear in another browser or on another device. Download a .txt file to keep a backup or move your script.
Will my script still be here after a refresh?+
The latest script and settings normally return after a refresh in the same browser, but playback position and elapsed time restart. Private browsing, clearing site data or browser storage restrictions can remove or prevent saved drafts. Check the save status and keep a .txt backup of important work.
Can I import Word, PDF or Google Docs scripts?+
Direct import accepts UTF-8 .txt files up to 200 KB. For Word, PDF or Google Docs, copy the text into the editor or export it as plain text first. Formatting, images and speaker notes embedded in a document are not imported.
When should I turn on mirror mode?+
Use mirror mode when viewing the display through reflective teleprompter glass. Leave it off when reading directly from a phone, tablet or computer screen. Only the script is mirrored, so the controls remain readable.
Which keyboard shortcuts can I use?+
Outside text fields and other controls, Space plays or pauses, Up and Down change speed, R returns to the start, and F toggles fullscreen. Escape pauses and exits the expanded view. While typing in the editor, these keys retain their normal text-editing behavior.
