A teleprompter is a device used in broadcasting, public speaking, and video production to display a script or text to a presenter or speaker. It helps them deliver a speech or presentation smoothly while maintaining eye contact with the audience or camera. The teleprompter consists of a screen or monitor positioned in front of the speaker and reflects the text onto a transparent glass or mirrored surface. The reflected text is positioned just above the camera lens, allowing the speaker to read the script while appearing to maintain direct eye contact with the audience or viewers.

The text displayed on the teleprompter is controlled by an operator who adjusts the scrolling speed according to the presenter's pace. This allows the speaker to read the script at a comfortable speed without the need to memorize it or refer to written notes. Teleprompters are commonly used in television news broadcasts, political speeches, corporate presentations, and other situations where a presenter needs to deliver prepared remarks while maintaining a natural and engaging delivery.
