Welcome back to the show. Today we're diving into something that's been on everyone's mind lately…
How it works
Setting up a teleprompter takes 3 steps and under 30 seconds. No account creation, no app download. Open the display on your screen, pair your phone as a remote, and start reading.
Open the app on the screen your talent will read from — laptop, tablet, or monitor. A short code appears to connect your remote.
Open the controller page on your phone. Type in the code — they're linked instantly. Your phone is now the remote control.
Drop in your script, pick your text size and color, hit play. Speed up, slow down, or pause — all from your phone while talent reads.
Features
Free Teleprompter includes mirror mode, adjustable auto-scroll (1–200 px/s), wireless remote control via WebSocket, 4 color schemes, and font sizes from 24px to 120px. It is built for real shoots and for searchers looking for a free online teleprompter with no watermark or app install.
Mirror mode flips text horizontally so it reads correctly when reflected off beam-splitter teleprompter glass. One tap to toggle. The operator's controller view stays normal — only the talent-facing display is mirrored.
Your phone becomes a wireless remote control via WebSocket with sub-50ms latency. Play, pause, change speed, and jump to any part of the script. Works over WiFi or mobile data — even from across the room or another building.
Scroll speed is adjustable from 1 to 200 pixels per second in real time. The average speaking pace is 130–150 words per minute, which corresponds to roughly 35–50 px/s at default font size. Tap buttons for 5 px/s increments or drag to jump.
Four high-contrast color schemes optimized for different lighting conditions: white on black (studio default), green on black (low eye strain), yellow on black (dim environments), and black on white (outdoor/bright venues). Switch in one tap.
Pairing uses a 4-digit code — type it on your phone and the connection is instant. No accounts, no Bluetooth pairing, no QR scanning. Multiple controllers can connect to the same session simultaneously, enabling an operator to control scroll while talent reads.
Compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on any operating system — Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, and Linux. No app to download, no software to install. Open the page and you're ready to go.

Free Teleprompter is used by YouTubers, news anchors, public speakers, livestreamers, podcasters, educators, and production crews. It works with any setup — from a phone propped on a desk to a professional beam-splitter rig on a film set.

If you use a prompter rig with beam-splitter glass (the kind where you read off the glass in front of the camera lens), mirror mode flips the text so it reads correctly in the reflection. One tap to turn it on. If you don't use a rig, you don't need it. More here: teleprompter mirror mode.
