Record with a teleprompter
Teleprompter scrolls a script in a movable window and can record your camera while you read. Rehearse a short section before recording the whole script.
Open TeleprompterPrepare the spoken text
Paste the script and read the opening aloud. Short sentences and visible pauses are easier to follow than dense prose written for silent reading. Edit any line that is awkward to say.
Position the prompt
Place the window close to the camera lens. Choose a readable text size and a line width that limits eye movement. Use mirror or flip when your teleprompter glass requires it.
Rehearse the scrolling pace
Set a speed that leaves room for breaths and pauses. Adjust the prompt to your delivery rather than reading faster to catch up.
Record a short test
Allow camera access, choose an available resolution and make a test take. Check framing and eye movement before recording a longer version. Available resolutions and MP4 support depend on the camera and browser; WebM may be used instead.
Download the take before leaving
Recordings stay in the tab until downloaded. Save the file before closing or reloading it. Trim the final clip before generating captions so their timing matches the version you publish.
Choose where scrolling begins
Before recording, choose Scroll from the top for a complete take, Scroll from here for a pickup, or Don’t scroll when you want the prompt to stay still. For a pickup, position the script a sentence before the line you need, then leave a small pause before speaking so the edit has room at its beginning.
A useful 15-second test take
- Say the first two sentences at the intended pace, including a normal breath and pause.
- Watch the downloaded take for eye movement and framing. Camera mirroring affects only the preview; the recording is never mirrored.
- Listen to the actual recording for low level or room noise before continuing with a full script.
If scrolling feels too fast
Reduce speed before reducing the text size. Smaller type may fit more words but can make you lean toward the screen or lose your place. Break dense sentences into spoken phrases, keep a manageable line width and rehearse the transition between paragraphs. The best setting is one you can follow while speaking naturally, not the fastest setting you can read silently.
