Nothing to install, no account, and your script stays in your browser. FoxCue's online teleprompter runs in your browser. Paste your script, set the speed, text size and mirror, and read while you look at the lens. There's nothing to install and no account. It scrolls at a fixed speed. For a teleprompter that follows your voice, use the one in FoxCue Studio. ## Start reading in ten seconds 1. **Paste your script**: Short lines read better than long paragraphs. 2. **Set speed and size**: Start slow. You can change both while it scrolls. 3. **Move it near the lens**: Put the window right under your camera. 4. **Press play and read**: Pause any time. It picks up where you stopped. ## Everything you need, nothing to learn - **Speed**: A steady scroll you set, and change while reading. - **Text size and spacing**: Bigger text for reading from further away. - **Mirror**: Flip the text for teleprompter glass. - **Count-in**: A short countdown before it starts to scroll. - **Full screen**: Fill the screen, or keep it in a small window. - **Saved in your browser**: Your script and settings are here next time. Nothing is uploaded. ## How to read a teleprompter without sounding like a robot ### Put the words next to the lens Your eyes give you away when the script is far from the camera. Keep the window narrow and right under the lens, so your eyes barely move. ### Write for speaking, not reading Short sentences, one idea each. Break lines where you'd naturally breathe. If a sentence is hard to say out loud, rewrite it before you record. ### Mark your pauses Leave a blank line where you want to stop and let a point land. A pause on camera feels shorter than it does to you. ### Read it aloud twice first One read to catch the awkward phrases, one to find your pace. Then set the speed a little slower than feels natural. ### Talk to one person Picture the buyer who asked the question. You're explaining, not presenting, so it's fine to glance down or smile mid-sentence. ### Don't chase the scroll If the text runs ahead, slow it down rather than speeding up your voice. Or use a teleprompter that follows you. ## How a teleprompter works ### Glass teleprompters A screen lies flat under a sheet of beam-splitter glass angled in front of the lens. The camera sees through the glass while you read the reflection, which is why the text has to be mirrored. ### Software teleprompters A browser or app scrolls the script on a screen near the camera. No glass, so no mirroring, as long as the words sit close to the lens. ### Voice-following teleprompters These listen as you read and keep your place, waiting when you pause. No one has to run the scroll for you. ## Want it to follow your voice? The teleprompter in FoxCue Studio listens as you read, keeps your place, and waits when you pause. Then the take goes straight into the editor.
