ctrlhq

Teleprompter

Read your script. Keep eye contact.

Your notes scroll right under the camera, so you never glance away mid-sentence.

ctrlhq's teleprompter with a script, speed slider and text size

Reading notes from the side of your screen makes you look away from the camera, and everyone can tell.

ctrlhq scrolls your script right beneath the camera, so your eyes stay close to the lens while you read.

Try it

Hey everyone, welcome back. Today I want to show you something small that changed how I work. My script sits right under the camera, in the notch, so I can read it and still look you in the eye. I pick the speed, I pick the size, and if I need a second I just pause. That's it. Let's get into it.
