Online teleprompter
How it works 1:22A free online teleprompter that runs in your browser: paste a script, set the speed in words per minute, resize the text and mirror it for prompter glass, then read from any phone, tablet or laptop. No signup, no install, and the script stays in your browser.
Pressing the button sends the text above to Speecho and an AI provider to be written; it is not stored. The result opens as a new script and yours stays in the list. Up to 5 a day, free.
Worked out on this device from what the browser’s speech recognition heard. A name or number it misheard can show up as skipped.
A line with --- or [pause] stops the scroll until you carry on, and **stars** around a word highlight it. You can also drop a PDF, Word or TXT file here.
Setting the pace in words, not pixels
Most browser teleprompters give you a speed slider that means nothing - a number from 1 to 10 that scrolls faster or slower depending on how big your text happens to be. This one asks how fast you talk instead. It measures your script, works out how far it has to travel, and scrolls exactly fast enough to finish in that time. Change the font size and the pace stays the same; change the pace and the time to the end changes with it.
A good starting point is 130 words per minute for a considered read and 160 for something upbeat. If you need the number for your own delivery, the speaking time calculator works it out from a script you have already timed. Once the take is recorded, the filler word counter shows what to cut from the next one - and if you only need the audio, the voice recorder is on the next page. To film yourself with the script in view, the video recorder scrolls it over the camera preview. When you want the finished video captioned, Speecho does the subtitles, with the first 15 minutes free.
Online teleprompter - FAQ
Does my script get uploaded?
No. The text stays in your browser. It is saved to this device only, in local storage, so it is still there when you come back - and clearing your browser data removes it. The one exception is the AI button: pressing it sends the text to Speecho and an AI provider to be written, and it is not stored.
What does mirror mode do?
It flips the text horizontally. Hardware teleprompters reflect a screen off angled glass in front of the lens, and that reflection reverses the text - so the screen has to show it reversed to arrive the right way round. If you are just reading off a laptop next to the camera, leave it off. Some rigs hang the screen above the glass or mount it upside down and need the text flipped top to bottom as well; tick Flip vertically for those.
Can I use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes, and a phone on a small tripod beside the lens is the most common setup. Tap the text to pause and resume, drag up or down to move through the script. On iPhone the prompter fills the tab rather than going truly fullscreen, because Safari does not offer fullscreen there.
How do I get my script from my computer onto my phone?
Press Open on your phone and point the phone's camera at the QR code. The script is packed into the link after the # sign, the part of an address that browsers never send to a server, so it is still not uploaded anywhere. A long script does not fit in a QR code: copy the link or share it to yourself instead.
How do I pick the right pace?
Conversational speech runs around 130 to 150 words per minute; presenters and adverts push 160 to 180. Set it, read the first paragraph, and adjust with the arrow keys while it runs - the estimated time updates as you go.
Can the teleprompter follow my voice?
Yes. Choose Follows my voice under Scrolling and the prompter listens while you read, keeping the line you are on at the reading line. If you ad-lib it waits, and if you go back a sentence it goes back with you. It works in Chrome, Edge and Safari, which do the speech recognition themselves: Chrome sends the audio to Google, Edge to Microsoft and Safari to Apple. Your script is not sent anywhere, because matching what you say to the text happens on your device.
Can I record video at the same time?
Yes, with the video recorder: paste your script there and it scrolls over the camera preview, close to the lens, while the page records you, and it is never in the video. Use this teleprompter when you need what it adds: mirror mode for prompter glass, a scroll that follows your voice, or the script on a second screen or device while your camera or phone records.
Why does the countdown matter?
It gives you three seconds to look at the lens instead of the mouse, and it leaves a clean handle at the head of the take. Turn it off if you are prompting live rather than recording.
Can I mark pauses and words to stress?
Yes. Put --- or [pause] on a line of its own, or [pause] in the middle of a sentence, and the prompter stops there until you tap the screen or press Space. Wrap a word in double asterisks, **like this**, and it shows up in color.
Is my script still here tomorrow?
Yes, on the same device and browser, along with any other scripts you have saved there. Nothing is sent anywhere, so a script will not follow you to another computer by itself: Open on your phone moves it to another device with a QR code or a link.
Can it write or shorten my script?
Yes. Type a few notes, or paste a script that runs too long, pick a length and press Write it. An AI model writes a script for that time at your pace, and it opens as a new script next to your original. This is the one thing on the page that leaves your browser: the text is sent to Speecho’s server and an AI provider, used once and not stored. It is free, up to 5 times a day. Check the facts in what comes back: the model can be wrong, and the length is close to the target rather than exact.
Can I use it to rehearse a talk?
Yes. Choose Follows my voice, read the talk aloud and close the prompter. Under the script you get a rehearsal report: your average pace, the fastest and slowest parts, the pauses of three seconds or more with the words that followed, and the places where you went back or skipped. It is worked out on your device from where the text was while you spoke. It rests on the browser’s speech recognition, so a name or a number it misheard can show up as skipped.
