Teleprompter for Speeches and Talks

Giving a speech is stressful enough without worrying about losing your place in your notes. A voice-activated teleprompter follows your natural speaking pace — pause for applause, skip a section, or slow down for emphasis. The text stays synced to where you are.

See It in Action

Professional speakers and politicians have used teleprompters for decades — from presidential addresses to TED talks. The technology makes it possible to deliver a carefully written speech while maintaining eye contact with the audience, creating the impression of speaking naturally from memory.

The traditional speech teleprompter setup involves glass panels on either side of a podium with text reflected from monitors below. This hardware costs thousands and requires a trained operator. A software teleprompter on your Mac achieves the same core benefit — scripted delivery with natural eye contact — at a fraction of the complexity. Position your laptop near your sight line, and the AI handles the scroll speed based on your voice.

Tips from Creators

For speeches, use a larger font — you'll be further from the screen than in a typical desk recording.

Add blank lines in your script where you expect applause or audience reaction.

Practice enough that you're confirming each line, not discovering it — this is the key to natural teleprompter delivery.
