What is an online teleprompter?
An online teleprompter scrolls your script on screen while you record, so your eyes stay near the lens instead of dropping to a page. Paste your words, set the pace, press play. This one runs in your browser. It does not record you and it does not write the script for you.
Who it is for
Anyone about to talk to a camera with more words than they can hold in their head. Founders, trainers, creators, and anyone who has taped a page to the wall behind a tripod.
What you need
A script and a screen. No sign-up, no card and no download.
What it costs
Nothing, and there is no cap, because there is nothing to count. Having your Digital Twin read it instead is a Render at 152 credits a second at 1080p, and Free starts you with 8,400 credits that do not expire.
What it does not do
It does not record you, and it does not write the script. It holds a script up to 20,000 characters, and it asks your device to keep the screen awake without being able to promise it will agree.
Paste it, then press play.
A teleprompter that runs in this browser tab.
It stays in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no sign-up.

For a rig with glass in front of the lens.
Off until you turn it on. It checks framing, and records nothing.
Keyboard: space plays and pauses, up and down change the pace, left and right step a line, R goes back to the top, F makes it full screen and Escape brings you back. Nothing moves until you press play.
Four things to set, then forget.
- 1
Pace.
How fast the words move, in words a minute, from 80 words a minute up to 220 words a minute. It starts at 150 words a minute, which is a normal speaking pace for most people, and it is the same pace the Studio uses to work out how long a script will run. Set it slower than feels right the first time. You can nudge it with the up and down arrows while it is running, so you do not have to stop and fiddle.
- 2
Text size.
Bigger than you think. You want to read a line in one glance from where you actually stand, not lean in and squint. Fewer words on a line is the whole point.
- 3
Mirror.
Flips the text left to right, which is what you need if you are shooting through a piece of teleprompter glass in front of the lens. If your screen is simply next to the camera, leave it off.
- 4
Camera preview.
Off until you turn it on. It puts a dimmed picture of your camera behind the words so you can check your framing before you hit record on whatever is actually recording. Nothing is captured and nothing is sent, and your browser will not even ask for the camera unless you flip this switch. There is a three second countdown before the words start to move, and they hold still while it runs, so the first line does not surprise you.
Put the words next to the lens.
A prompter only works if reading and looking down stop being the same movement. Everything below is about closing the gap between the words and the lens.
- Get the screen as close to the lens as it will go. A phone propped on top of a laptop, right under the webcam. A laptop right beside the camera you are filming on. The smaller the gap, the less your eyes travel, and on camera that travel is the thing people read as reading.
- Then step back. Two steps further away shrinks the same gap in the frame. This is the cheapest fix there is, and it is the one people skip.
- Big text, few words a line. You read a prompter in glances, not in sentences. If you are getting through more than a handful of words per glance, the text is too small.
- Set the pace slower than you think. Words running ahead of you make you rush and swallow the ends of sentences. Words running behind you make you wait, and waiting reads as stiff. Slower is the safer mistake.
- Read the line, then lift. Take the line in, then look straight at the lens for its last few words. That one habit is most of the difference between a take that looks read and a take that looks said.
- Put a blank line where you want to breathe. The prompter will not tell you to pause. Write the pause in and the pace will hold it for you.
- Shoot one throwaway take. Always. The first one is where you find out the pace is wrong, the text is too small, or the second paragraph is unsayable out loud. It costs thirty seconds and saves the afternoon.
Your script stays on your device.
There is no send button, because there is nothing to send. The words you paste never reach a Kyndrify server. There is no sign-up, no email box, and no cap on how many times you use it, because there is nothing to count.
It keeps your script in this browser on this device, so it is still there when you come back tomorrow. Clear your browser data and it is gone, and it never turns up on another device or another person's screen.
The camera preview stays in the page too. It is a mirror, not a recorder. Nothing is captured, nothing is uploaded, and the switch is off until you turn it on.
One separate thing, since people ask both questions at once. When you do bring a script into the Studio to make a video, that script, your uploads and your finished videos belong to your Workspace, and they are not used to train a Kyndrify model.
Or let your twin read it.
Some scripts are worth filming yourself. Plenty are not. If you are on take nine of the same ninety seconds, the honest answer is to stop filming and let a Digital Twin read it instead: your face, your voice, your words, rendered from the script you already have in the box above.
Making one takes a photo, a short recording of you giving consent, and about ten minutes. That recording has its own script on screen, so you will not need this page for that part. A talking-head video runs to one minute on Free and thirty minutes on a paid plan, and Free starts you with 8,400 credits that do not expire.
Already filmed it and stumbled twice? Cut the fillers and the false starts. It finds the um, the long silences and the sentence you started over, and takes them out without you scrubbing a timeline.
Only need the voice? Record a voiceover in your own voice, or pick one from the voice library. What each of those costs is on the pricing page.
Stuck on the words rather than the reading? That is a different job and it has its own page.
What this page does not do.
It does not record you.
Your phone's camera app and your camera already do that better than a web page can, and keeping recording out of it is what lets us say that nothing you type ever leaves your browser.
It does not write the script.
This page is for words you already have. A blank page is a different job, and the video script generator is the door for it.
It asks your device to stay awake. It cannot promise it will.
Some phones and laptops say no. If your screen has a habit of dimming, turn the screen timeout up before you start.
It holds one long script, not an unlimited one.
The box stops at 20,000 characters, which is far longer than anything you should read to a lens in one take, and it does not drive a hardware autocue.
Questions people ask before they press play.
- Is it really free, and do I need an account?
- Yes, and no. There is no sign-up, no card and no trial. The prompter is a page, not a product, and it works the moment it loads. You only need to sign up if you decide to make videos with us afterwards.
- Does my script get sent anywhere?
- No. It never leaves your browser. It is kept on this device so it is there when you come back, and clearing your browser data removes it. We could not read it if we wanted to, because it never reaches us.
- How fast should I set it?
- Slower than feels right. It starts at 150 words a minute, which suits most people, and you can nudge it with the arrow keys while it runs. If you find yourself rushing the ends of sentences, that is the pace being too fast, not you being bad at this.
- Can I use it on my phone?
- Yes. Turn the phone sideways, make the text big, and prop it as close to whatever lens you are filming on as it will go. It asks your device to keep the screen awake while the words are moving. Some devices say no, so if your screen has a habit of dimming, turn the screen timeout up before you start.
- Does it record me too?
- No, and that is deliberate. Your phone's camera app and your camera already do that better than a web page can. Turn the preview on if you want to check your framing while you read.
- Will it work with teleprompter glass?
- Yes. Turn Mirror on and the text flips left to right, which is what the glass expects. If your screen is simply sitting next to the camera, leave Mirror off.
The tools that do this
Press play, then talk.
Paste the script, set the pace, and read it like you wrote it. If you get to take nine and decide you would rather not be on camera at all, your Digital Twin can read the same script for you, starting with the 8,400 credits Free comes with. Your own face and voice come with the Plus plan.
