Voice Teleprompter

Paste your script, hit start, and read at your own pace — this teleprompter listens as you speak and auto-scrolls to follow you, slowing down when you pause and catching up when you speed up. No fixed scroll speed to fight against. Free, runs entirely in your browser.

1. Paste or type your script

0 wordsLonger scripts scroll further — that's fine, both modes handle any length.

2. Set up the display

Voice control isn't available in this browser. The Web Speech API (used to listen and follow your reading) is only well-supported in Chrome and Edge right now — Safari support is partial and Firefox doesn't support it at all. You can still use Manual Scroll Speed mode below, which works everywhere.

3. Start reading

Voice Follow needs microphone access and works best in a reasonably quiet room, speaking clearly toward your device's mic. Manual Scroll Speed never listens to your mic — you control the pace with a slider.

How this voice-controlled teleprompter works

Most free teleprompter tools scroll your script at a single constant speed that you set once and then have to fight — talk slightly faster than the scroll and you're reading ahead of the highlighted line; pause to take a breath, gesture, or let a point land, and the text keeps sliding away from you. This tool takes a different approach: it uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API to listen to what you're actually saying, matches the words it hears against the upcoming words in your script, and scrolls only as far as you've actually read. Speed up and it catches up; stop talking and it stops scrolling. The goal is a teleprompter that follows you, the way a human assistant scrolling a paper script would, rather than a metronome you have to keep pace with.

The matching approach, in plain terms

Your script is broken into individual words the moment you start Voice Follow. As speech recognition returns words it thinks it heard, the tool searches a short window of upcoming script words — not just the very next one — for a match, so a misheard word, a skipped word, an ad-lib, or a repeated phrase doesn't derail tracking or get the whole thing stuck. When it finds a confident match it advances the read position and smooth-scrolls the script so your current line sits roughly a third of the way down the screen — comfortable eye-line for reading while still looking near the camera lens.

Browser support — an honest note

The Web Speech API that powers voice-follow is not evenly supported. Chrome and Edge (desktop and Android) support it well. Safari's support is partial and inconsistent across versions. Firefox does not support it at all as of this writing. This tool checks for support the moment the page loads — if your browser can't do speech recognition, you'll see a clear notice and the Voice Follow button won't try to start a session that can't work; you can switch straight to Manual Scroll Speed mode instead, which uses a simple adjustable-speed auto-scroll and works in every modern browser, with no microphone permission needed at all.

Built for real presenting setups

Beyond voice-follow and manual scroll, there's an adjustable font size (drag it up for a monitor a few feet away, or down for a phone propped close to the lens) and a mirror-flip toggle for teleprompter rigs that use a beam-splitter glass in front of the camera — those rigs need the text mirrored left-to-right so it reads correctly once reflected off the glass. Most free web teleprompters skip this because it only matters to people using real hardware rigs, but if you've got a teleprompter attachment for your phone or DSLR, this toggle is for exactly that.

Who this is for

FAQ

Does the voice-follow mode upload my audio anywhere?
The listening is done by your browser's own Web Speech API. In Chrome, that typically means your microphone audio is sent to Google's speech-recognition servers for processing — it is not fully on-device the way some other browser-based tools are. See the privacy policy for the full, honest explanation of what happens where.
What if voice-follow mishears a word?
It's designed to tolerate that. Instead of requiring an exact word-for-word match, it looks ahead across a small window of upcoming script words for the best match, so one misheard or skipped word doesn't stop the scroll or throw off your position — it just keeps looking for the next word it recognizes.
My browser doesn't support voice control — now what?
Use Manual Scroll Speed mode. It's a simple adjustable-speed auto-scroll that works in any modern browser, with no microphone access required. You lose the "follows your pace" behavior, but you keep the large-text display, font-size control, and mirror-flip.
Can I use this with a physical teleprompter rig?
Yes — toggle Mirror Flip so the text reads correctly once reflected in a beam-splitter glass, and turn the font size up for readability at rig distance.
Is there a paid version?
The core reading experience — manual scroll and voice-follow — is free and always will be. A one-time $5.99 Pro unlock removes the small watermark from the teleprompter display and lets you save named scripts in this browser to reload later. See the "Go Pro" button for details.
Does it save my script?
Not by default — your script lives only in the page for your current session (nothing is uploaded or stored on a server) unless you buy Pro. With Pro, "Save this script" stores a named copy in your own browser's local storage so you can reload it next time — it's saved on that device/browser only, not synced to a server or other devices.

Free tool, no account required. Voice recognition quality depends on your browser, microphone, and room noise — see the FAQ above for what to do if it doesn't work well.
