Prompter

A teleprompter for lectures and talks. Paste your script, set the speaking time, and it scrolls itself at exactly the pace needed to finish on time - with rewind, fast-forward and a clock.

What is Prompter?

Speaking at a conference or giving a lecture, you want to keep eye contact with the audience instead of burying yourself in notes - and still hit your time slot. The prompter shows your script in large type and scrolls it from top to bottom at the pace needed to finish exactly on time.

You stay fully in control: play and pause, jump back and forward, scrub the progress, and adjust the speed or font size as you go. A clock counts up alongside the time remaining. Share the talk by QR code or link to read it from your own phone, or hand it to a participant presenting.

See it in action

The script scrolls to finish exactly on time

Paste your script, set the speaking time and press play - the text scrolls at exactly the pace needed to finish right on time. Pause, skip back or jump ahead at any moment, while the progress bar and clock show how much is left. Open the same prompter on your phone via a QR code - a discreet cue card at the lectern.
