Teleprompter for Camera — Script Near Your Lens
The whole point of a teleprompter is reading your script while looking at the camera. With a floating software overlay, you position the text right next to your lens — DSLR, mirrorless, webcam, or phone camera. No mirror rigs, no extra monitors.
See It in Action
Hardware camera teleprompters use a beam-splitter mirror mounted directly in front of the lens. The speaker reads text reflected on the glass while the camera shoots through it. This gives perfect eye contact but costs $200-2,000+ depending on quality, and requires careful setup and alignment for every shoot.
A software teleprompter takes a different approach: instead of putting text in front of the lens, it puts text next to the lens. On a laptop, this means positioning the floating panel right below the webcam. With an external camera, you place it near where the lens is mounted. The result is nearly identical eye contact for online content — viewers can't tell the difference on a webcam or vlog-style video.

Tips from Creators
The closer the text is to the camera lens, the more natural your eye contact looks on video.
For DSLR setups, mount the camera on a tripod next to your Mac screen for the best teleprompter-to-lens alignment.
External webcams can be positioned right against the edge of the teleprompter panel for near-perfect eye contact.
