The Purpose of a Teleprompter
A teleprompter is a precision display device that prompts a speaker with a visual text scroll of a script or speech. Its primary purpose is to allow a performer to read their lines fluently while maintaining direct eye contact with their audience or camera lens.
Playback & Timing
Transport Controls:
Use Play, Stop, Rewind, and Fast-Forward to navigate your script manually.
WPM (Words Per Minute):
Adjusts the scroll speed. 140-160 WPM is standard for a conversational pace.
Lead-in:
Sets a countdown timer (0-10s) before the scroll begins to allow you to prepare.
Pause Duration:
Adds an automatic delay at punctuation (periods, question marks) for natural breathing.
Layout & Tools
Position & Size:
Change the text anchor (e.g., North West, Center) and scale font size from 20px to 150px.
Width & Height:
Restrict the text container to keep your eyes centered on the camera lens.
Mirror & Eye Guide:
Mirror flips text for prompter glass; Eye Guide adds a horizon line for focus.
Voice Calibration:
Use the microphone icon to test your natural reading speed and auto-calculate WPM.
