Finally, a teleprompter
that just works.

Welcome to the show. Today we're covering
three stories that changed everything we thought
we knew about the way people read on screen.
The physics
Down to the millisecond.
Most teleprompters scroll at a constant pixel rate. It works, but it feels mechanical — like reading off an escalator. This one models how the eye actually reads: it accelerates into each line, holds speed through the middle, then eases out — giving the eye time to jump back to the left margin before the next line arrives. The same effect physical Autocue hardware produces through mechanical inertia.
The curve is time-domain: accurate regardless of font size, line height, or window width. Set 160 WPM, you get 160 WPM — averaged exactly across every line, not 148 or 171.
Asymmetric by design — the eye locks on quickly but needs more time to disengage at line end. Weighted average = exactly 1.0× your speed setting.
Multi-speaker mode
Paste a dialogue. Every speaker gets a color.
Enable Multi in the bar. The parser walks the script and detects speaker labels — ALEX:, Dr Smith:, VOICE-OVER: — and assigns each a distinct color from a broadcast-appropriate palette. Toggle colors on and off during reading without touching the text. Re-parse any time after editing.
Supports Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts — speaker labels in any of these alphabets are detected and colored the same way.
During playback, Tab or → soft-skips to the next speaker label — a smooth ease rather than a snap — so the operator can cue ahead without losing the reader.
Got a raw script? A Copy AI prompt button generates a ready-made reformatting instruction. Paste it into any AI with your script and it comes back correctly labeled.
ALEX: Have you seen the report?
Sarah: Not yet — send it over.
DR SMITH: The results are in.
Fully featured cue system
Industry-standard cue styles, out of the box.
Four cue indicator styles: Line (1px horizontal), Band (semi-transparent stripe), Left mark (vertical bar in the left margin), and Fade (CSS mask that fades text above the reading line). Named color presets — Autocue Red, QTV White, Amber — the actual color standards used in broadcast teleprompter systems. Adjustable font size and line height to match any studio setup.

Next.js rebuild with canvas rendering.
v1 uses DOM scrollTop — integer pixel steps, browser reflow on every frame. v2 switches to a canvas renderer during playback: sub-pixel scroll motion, no layout thrashing. Text quality is unchanged; what improves is motion smoothness, especially on retina displays where the gap between CSS pixels and physical pixels makes integer stepping visible. Same UX, same shortcuts, same feel — plus professional features that only make sense with a proper rendering layer.
We're actively building v2 and would love your feedback.
