Online Teleprompter (Free, Voice Activated)

Teleprompter Mirror developed software that works online and can also be downloaded for Windows and Mac. Not only is it completely free, with no ads or trial periods, it also works better than most paid software. Simply copy/paste your script in and it moves on its own. Here’s a few of the cool features:

  1. You can use it online, which is especially useful if you’re planning to use the voice tracking (auto scrolling). Alternatively, you can download the software to your laptop.
  2. To import a script, simply copy and paste your text into the text area. Alternatively, you can load text files using the load button at the top. You can save your scripts using the save button at the top.
  3. You can mirror flip your text using the “flip text” button at the top. You can then read it off your teleprompter.
  4. You can also use the restart button if you want to start the script over. If you want to spice it up, you can also add colors to your text to highlight on important topics.
  5. You can change your font size and scroll speed to a size that’s comfortable to read on your device.
  6. Using the Microphone icon in the upper right, you can switch to voice activated scrolling. Note that this is designed to work using the Google Chrome browser and on Windows and Mac operating systems. White it doesn’t work on iPad, there are plenty of iPad apps in the app store that offer that feature.
