Online Teleprompter

Paste your script and read it as it scrolls. Set the speed in words per minute, change the text size and mirror the text for a prompter glass.

Welcome to the teleprompter. Paste your own script here, then press Start (or Next if your device uses reduced motion). The text scrolls at the speed you choose, measured in words per minute. Most people speak at about 140 words per minute, so that is a good place to start. Use the mirror option if you read from a prompter glass, and change the text size until it is comfortable from where you sit. When you are ready, take a breath, look at the lens and begin.

How it works

  1. Paste or type your script in the box. Check the word count and the estimated reading time.
  2. Set the speed in words per minute and the text size so you can read comfortably from your distance.
  3. Press Start, and Pause when you need to. If your device asks for reduced motion, use Previous and Next instead.
  4. Use Mirror for a beam-splitter glass, and Full screen to fill your display.

Questions

How is the scroll speed calculated?
Pixels per second = (words per minute ÷ 60) × pixels per word, where pixels per word is the height of your text divided by the number of words. A bigger text size or a narrower window makes the text taller, and the scroll speeds up to keep the same reading pace.
What speed should I choose?
Most people speak at 130 to 160 words per minute. Start at 140 and adjust. News readers go faster; slow, careful speech or foreign-language text is easier at 100 or below.
What happens with reduced motion?
If your device asks for reduced motion, the text does not scroll by itself. Use the previous and next buttons, or scroll with your finger or mouse, so you control every movement.
