How to use this online teleprompter
- Paste your script into the box. Break it into short paragraphs so you can find your place at a glance.
- Set the speed. Most people speak at 130 to 160 words per minute on camera. Start at 140 and adjust with the arrow keys while it scrolls.
- Move the window under your camera. Keep the browser near the top of the screen so the text sits right below the lens.
- Press Start. You get a three second countdown, then the script scrolls. Press Space to pause at any time.
- Record if you want. Turn on the camera and press the red button. The script is only on your screen, never in the video. Download the take when you stop.
Tips for reading naturally
- Write the way you talk. Short sentences are easier to read and sound less scripted. Our guide on writing a video script walks through it.
- Keep the text large and the column narrow, so your eyes barely move. Larger text also lets you sit further back.
- Read a few words ahead of the arrow, not on it. That gives you time to put the emphasis where it belongs.
- Do one practice run before you record. You will find the lines that trip you up and can rewrite them.

From a plain teleprompter to a finished video
This tool gives you a clean take. Posting it still means cutting the pauses, adding captions and reframing it for the feed. Scriptmade does all of that on its own: it writes the script with AI, runs the teleprompter under your camera, removes silences and restarts the moment you stop, times a caption to every word and exports for YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reels and TikTok.
Questions people ask
Is this teleprompter really free?
Yes. There is no account, no time limit and no watermark. It runs entirely in your browser, and recordings are saved straight to your computer.
Can I record video while I read?
Yes. Turn on the camera and press Record. The script scrolls over your preview but is not part of the video. When you stop, download the file. Chrome and Edge save WebM, Safari saves MP4.
How do I make my eyes look at the camera?
Keep the text window narrow and near the top of the screen, right under the lens, and sit about an arm’s length away. Our guide on looking at the camera covers the details.
Does it work with a teleprompter mirror or beam splitter?
Yes. Use Mirror to flip the text horizontally so it reads correctly on the glass, and Full screen to fill the display.
Is my script saved?
Your script is kept in this browser only, so it is there next time you open the page. Nothing is sent to a server.
What is the difference between this and Scriptmade?
This page is a plain teleprompter. Scriptmade also writes the script with AI, removes pauses and restarts, adds word-timed captions, B-roll and music, and exports for X, Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
