The Teleprompter Manual

In certain systems, the PC connects to an external scroll device over IP to offer greater flexibility in setup, distances and cabling. The monitors are often black-and-white monochrome and have the scanning reversed to compensate for the reflection of the mirror. A peripheral device attached has a knob that can be turned to speed up, slow down, or even reverse the scrolling of the text.

The text is usually displayed in white letters on a black background for the best readability, while cues are in inverse video black on white.

With the development of inexpensive teleprompter software applications as well as free Web-based teleprompter applets, many different disciplines are now using teleprompters to help them deliver sermons, deliver speeches, and to create quality audio recordings. Unlike their more advanced counterparts, these entry level products work on desktop computers, laptop computers, and even tablet computers to enable the speaker to control the rate and flow of their speech.

They are also used by many different organizations and schools to deliver prewritten information by relative novices. They are usually called "personal teleprompters.

In , glass teleprompters appearing on either side of the lectern were used at both the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention , and by Robert F. Kennedy , at the time the U. Attorney General , who served in both the Kennedy and early Johnson Administrations , to deliver his convention speech. Glass teleprompters function in a similar way to those used on television. Typically, a screen on either side of the speaker shows mirrored text from upward-facing floor monitors at the base of a stand supporting a One-way mirror at the top, angled down towards the screen.

The speaker sees the text on the screen reflected in the mirror, while the audience only see what looks like a sheet of tinted glass on each side of the speaker.

In , speakers at the Democratic National Convention , held at the United Center in Chicago , Illinois, used three teleprompters, to the left, right and center of the speaker's lectern as well as a fourth prompter monitor next to the paper script and embedded in the lectern itself , rather than the traditional two-prompter system, a modification subsequently adopted by both the Democratic and Republican parties for future conventions: This placement of the center prompter creates the illusion that the speaker is periodically looking straight into the camera lens, and thereby appearing to directly address the audience watching the televised Convention coverage.

In , speakers at the Liberal Democrat Federal Conference , held at the Brighton Centre in Brighton , UK, also used a three-screen system but this time consisting entirely of large off-stage confidence monitors mounted on poles — which are often described outside North America , together with glass teleprompters, as " autocues " , where the skill required for those using it, according to the Liberal Democrats ' former leader, Menzies Campbell — , is to move their gaze seamlessly from one screen to the other: The disadvantage of such a system is that the provision of "giant teleprompters" becomes essential to maintaining the illusion of speaking with apparent spontaneity.
