Free Teleprompter - for Shooting Video

Free Video Teleprompter

How good is your memory? Mine has never been the best. Aim a camcorder at me, say "start" and my forgetful

clever thoughts just disappear. I start preparing my "speech'. I memorize maybe two or three lines and then down goes the head. Good bye eye contact, just let me read the darn thing!!

I gulped when I started looking to buy a teleprompter. Then I found CuePrompter. This works best with a laptop or tablet - and you do need to be online to use it. Just type what you want to say into your word processing program, then cut and paste into cue prompter. Those of us who are boomers and our arms are now too short to read easily, use BIG TEXT when you type in your word processor.

Put your laptop on a small table (I use a tv tray or photo modeling prop.) and place your camcorder just above the top of the screen.You do need a tripod. (also works well with a web cam clipped to the top of your screen).

Then click start prompter. It's adjustable if it moves too fast.

Thank you, CuePrompter. You have saved me alot of time and my eye contact appears much better now. If you have a photographic memory - then I JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOU IT! If you just don't want to bother, then I hear Ginkgo Biloba does wonders for your memory.

Thanks for the post! I'll have to check it out. I use the teleprompter in my "Visual Communicator" software, but always nice to know there are other alternatives.
