What Is a Teleprompter?

A teleprompter, also commonly known as a prompter or an autocue is a device that prompts the presenter with his or her script.

The most commonly used teleprompter is the glass teleprompter which makes use of any display such as an iPad or tablet and a specialized ‘one-way mirror’. The display is usually placed at the base of this set-up while the glass is placed diagonally in front of the camera lens allowing the presenter to look straight at the audience while reading out the script.

This is an improvement from the usage of cue cards as the presenter will no longer be required to lose eye contact with the audience in order to refer to the script.

Teleprompters allow presenters to look professional as it gives the impression that the presenter has memorized the script or is speaking spontaneously.

When to Use a Teleprompter?

A teleprompter is most notably used by news anchors and TV show hosts when presenting to television. However, its usage has gotten more widespread and is now commonly used for video and live stream productions that require its presenter or talent to present a large chunk of text such as corporate interview videos, corporate speech videos and CEO announcement videos.

Here are some videos we have done for our clients in which a teleprompter was used:

Corporate Celebratory Video for Changi Airport Group

Minister Video for SINDA

Educational Commercial Video for AIA

Tips When Using a Teleprompter

Most teleprompting software requires an operator on set so as to pace its scroll speed.

Before jumping straight into reading off a teleprompter, here are some tips for your presenters to ace their first presentation using a teleprompter.

Read and Familiarize Yourself With the Script

This helps you to avoid making unnecessary mistakes. Should ‘999’ be read at “Nine, nine, nine” or “Nine hundred and ninety nine”? This depends on the context of the speech

Rehearse With the Teleprompter Operator Beforehand

Teleprompter operators will be able to operate more optimally when they are familiar with your reading patterns and pace so set aside some time before rolling the camera to rehearse with your teleprompter operator

Save Your Presenter’s Script in a Compatible Format

Most teleprompters require scripts in either Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx), Rich Text (.rtf) or Plain Text (.txt) formats
Using such formats will ensure that loading the scripts in the various teleprompter softwares are straightforward and time efficient

Format the Scripts With Segment Names/titles

Titles are added to segment the different blocks of text to aid presenters in their delivery
Such titles should be capitalized so the presenter does not mix it up with the script
