Teleprompter
A device that displays a script in front of the camera lens so the speaker can read while maintaining eye contact.
Description
A teleprompter is a device that displays a script or text in front of the camera lens. This allows the person speaking to read the text while maintaining eye contact with the camera. The text is reflected on a transparent screen in front of the camera, making it appear invisible to the audience.
Usage
Teleprompters are widely used in television broadcasting, speeches, and presentations to help the speaker deliver their lines smoothly and confidently without having to memorize the entire script or look away to read notes.
