Privacy details

Teleprompter processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Teleprompter explained

Paste a script, then use Play and Pause to control a scrolling reading window. Adjust the text size and speed, or mirror the text for a teleprompter setup. Scrolling never starts until you press Play.

Next: Word counter

A worked example

A script with blank lines keeps those pauses visible. At a speed of 30 pixels per second, text moves through the reading window while Play is active.

Before you use the result

Speed is a screen movement setting, not words per minute. Browser scheduling and screen size affect the reading experience. There is no recording, voice recognition or remote control. Save your script before closing the page.
