Why YouTube Creators Love Teleprompters
Recording YouTube videos can be frustrating. You forget your lines, lose your place, or spend hours on multiple takes. A teleprompter changes everything—but only if you use it correctly.
ScreenPrompt helps you deliver professional content while maintaining eye contact with your camera. Here's how to get the most out of it.
1. Write Your Script First
Open ScreenPrompt's script editor and write out your video content. Don't worry about making it perfect—the AI can help suggest improvements as you type.
- Keep sentences short and conversational
- Mark pauses with line breaks
- Add emphasis markers for important points
2. Position Your Overlay Properly
Activate the teleprompter overlay and position it as close to your camera lens as possible. This maintains natural eye contact with your viewers.
Adjust the overlay transparency so you can see your recording software in the background while keeping the text clearly readable.
3. Let Auto-Scroll Follow Your Pace
Start speaking and let ScreenPrompt's smart auto-scrolling follow along. The AI listens to your words and scrolls automatically, keeping the right text visible at the perfect time.
Speak naturally—don't try to match a fixed scrolling speed. The teleprompter adapts to your rhythm.
4. Use AI Suggestions When You Get Stuck
If you deviate from your script or forget what to say next, ScreenPrompt's AI suggestions appear in real-time. Accept suggestions with a quick keyboard shortcut to keep your flow going.
5. Review Your Real-Time Transcription
After recording, check the speech-to-text transcription to see exactly what you said. Use this to create video descriptions, timestamps, or identify sections that need a quick re-record.
