Free Teleprompter for Presentations and Speeches
TeleprompterOnline is a free teleprompter for presentations, speeches and keynotes. Use it to rehearse a talk and watch yourself back, to pre-record a presentation for a conference or class, or to read a speech on stage from a tablet or a glass rig. It runs in any modern browser with nothing to install.
Why presenters use a teleprompter
Memorizing a 20-minute talk word for word is slow and fragile: one missed line and the rest can unravel. Reading from paper pulls your head down and away from the audience. A teleprompter keeps the words at eye level, so you can speak with confidence and still look like you are talking, not reading.
- Exact wording where it matters. Openings, key statistics, quotes and closing lines come out exactly as written.
- Steady timing. Fixed-speed scrolling helps you hit a time slot, and voice-following lets you slow down for emphasis.
- Less stage fright. Knowing the next line is always in front of you takes pressure off.
- Better rehearsals. Recording practice runs shows you where pacing, filler words or eye contact need work.
How to use TeleprompterOnline for a presentation
- Paste your speech or import it as a TXT, DOCX or Markdown file, then press Open prompter.
- Set the text size, line spacing and margins for the distance you will read from. A tablet on a lectern needs a larger font than a laptop at arm's length.
- Pick a scroll mode. Voice-following waits while you pause for applause or a slide change; fixed speed suits a tightly timed slot.
- Scan the QR code to turn your phone into a remote. You can pause, change speed and jump between sections from where you stand.
- To rehearse, turn on the camera and record a full run. Watch it back, fix the script and record again. Each take is kept next to the script so you can compare.
Presenting with a beamsplitter or presidential-style glass? Turn on Mirror mode so the reflected text reads correctly, place the screen under the glass and use the phone remote so you never have to touch the device on stage.
Pre-recording a presentation
Many conferences, courses and internal events now ask for recorded talks. With TeleprompterOnline the script and the camera share one tab: frame your shot in the live preview, read to the lens and export a clean file with no watermark, up to 4K on supported desktops. Notch mode keeps the text in a strip under the webcam so your eye line stays close to the camera.
Pro tips for reading a speech naturally
- Write for the ear. Short sentences and plain words are easier to say than polished written prose.
- Add breathing room. Put a blank line between ideas so the script itself reminds you to pause.
- Read ahead in chunks. Glance at a phrase, then look up and say it to the room before reading the next one.
- Rehearse at full volume. Reading aloud at presentation volume shows you which lines trip your tongue.
- Time every run. Count the words and adjust: most people speak at roughly 130 to 160 words per minute.
- Do not read the slides. Keep your script for what you say, and let the slides show what the audience needs to see.

Presentation teleprompter FAQ
Can I use a teleprompter for a live presentation?
Yes. Open the teleprompter on a tablet or laptop in front of you, or on a screen under a glass rig with Mirror mode on, and control it from your phone so you can move freely.
Can I control the script while my slides are on another screen?
Yes. Run your slides as usual and use your phone as a remote for the teleprompter. From the phone you can pause, change speed and jump between sections.
How do I rehearse a presentation with it?
Turn on the camera in Settings and record a full run while you read. Every take is saved on your device next to the script, so you can watch it back, edit lines and record again.
How long should my presentation script be?
At roughly 130 to 160 words per minute, a 10-minute talk is about 1,300 to 1,600 words. Record a practice run to find your own pace.
Is it free?
