It goes fullscreen with a three second countdown, so you can lift your eyes to the lens. While it is reading there is nothing on the screen but the words. Tap anywhere to pause and bring the controls back; Esc leaves and keeps your place.

When you would use this

Situations, not settings.

A piece to camera you have actually written
Read it at a steady 130 words a minute instead of glancing at notes off to one side, which is the thing that makes somebody look shifty on video.
A talk you are rehearsing against a slot
The setup page says how long the script runs at the speed you picked, so a nine minute script in a seven minute slot is something you find out beforehand.
A prompter rig with glass over the lens
Mirror the text and the reflection reads correctly through the glass, so you can look straight down the barrel rather than beside it.

How it works / no cloud

A conversion engine, not an upload form.

Your script stays in this tab. The page splits it into words, works out which one you should be on from a constant words-per-minute rate, and scrolls the text past a fixed marker at exactly that speed. The live word is never highlighted, because a mark that moves twice a second in type this large is the thing your eye cannot stop following; the whole line is emphasised instead, which changes about every four seconds. Nothing is uploaded and there is no server to upload it to, so it keeps working with the network off.

Straight answers

No accordion. Nothing hidden.

Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account system.
Is my file processed on my device?
Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
What formats are supported?
Plain text in. Nothing comes out: this is a reading surface, not a converter, so there is no file to save.
What are the limits?
A constant rate, which is what every physical autocue does. It does not listen to you and speed up or slow down to match, so if you drift you nudge the speed or tap Back 10s. Speed runs 110 to 170 words a minute, the type has three sizes, and both can be changed while paused.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes, completely. There is nothing to download and nothing to send, so it works on a plane or in a studio with no signal.
Is my script uploaded anywhere?
No. It is typed into a box on this page and stays in the tab. There is no account, no save, and no server behind this tool, so closing the tab is what deletes it. That also means a confidential script, an earnings call or an unreleased announcement is as safe here as in a text editor on your own machine.
Can I mirror the text for a teleprompter glass?
Yes. A real prompter reflects the screen off a sheet of glass in front of the lens, which reverses the text, so a mirrored screen reads correctly through it. The option is on the setup page rather than in the reading controls, on purpose: it changes what you see, and it is something to confirm before the camera is rolling rather than something to hit mid-take.
What happens if I lose my place?
Tap anywhere. That pauses and brings up the controls in one go, because wanting a control and wanting to stop are the same moment. From there you can resume, change the speed, or jump back ten seconds. On a keyboard the space bar does the same and the left and right arrows move you ten seconds either way.
How fast should I set it?
130 words a minute is the default and it suits most prepared scripts. Public speaking guidance clusters between 120 and 150; news reading is nearer 150 to 170, and anything technical is better slower. Read the first paragraph at the default, and if you are waiting for the text, raise it.
Does it work on a phone on a tripod?
Yes, and that is the case the reading screen is designed for. It goes fullscreen with a three second countdown so you can lift your eyes to the lens, and while it is running there is nothing on the screen but the words, so no toolbar can appear in shot. Leaving keeps your place, so you can check something and come back to the same line.
