Teleprompter for presentations
Whether you're giving a recorded conference talk, a keynote on a confidence monitor, or a virtual pitch, a teleprompter lets you keep eye contact without memorising every word. The same tool covers rehearsal on a laptop and delivery on a big screen.

Open the free teleprompter →How to do it
- Paste your speech and read the estimated duration — at the default 130 WPM, 650 words is about five minutes.
- Rehearse once at the default speed, then adjust the slider to your natural pace.
- For a confidence monitor or second screen, open the prompter there and press F for fullscreen.
- For a virtual presentation, press "Float on top" instead and place the window near your webcam.
- Increase font size and line height until you can read comfortably from your delivery distance.
Tips
- Write in spoken language — short sentences and contractions read more naturally than written prose.
- Mark emphasis with CAPS sparingly; the teleprompter shows plain text only.
- On stage, have someone else run it: Space pauses and arrow keys adjust speed, so a helper with the keyboard can follow you.
- Use a presentation remote's media keys if it has them — the app responds to media play/pause.
FAQ
How many words is a 10-minute speech?
At a typical 130 words per minute, around 1,300 words. The teleprompter shows the estimated time for your script at the current speed.
Can I use it with PowerPoint or Google Slides?
Yes, alongside them. Float the teleprompter above your slides on your screen and share only the slides window with the audience.
Does it support rich formatting?
No, it displays plain text. Line breaks and blank lines are kept, which is usually all you need for pacing.
