How do I record myself reading a script with a teleprompter in my browser?

Open AnyTool's Teleprompter, paste your script, set a words-per-minute scroll speed, and hit record — your camera and a 3-2-1 countdown start together and the script scrolls over the live preview. The clip records and downloads in your browser. Your camera, mic and script never leave your device, and there is no watermark, no time limit and no sign-up.

  • Record while a WPM-calibrated script scrolls over your camera
  • Clean-overlay or burned-in script modes, with countdown
  • Optional voice-activated auto-scroll (Chrome/Edge)
  • 100% in your browser — no watermark, no time limit, no sign-up

What is

Teleprompter

A teleprompter scrolls a script in front of (or over) the camera so a speaker can read while maintaining eye contact with the lens. A recording teleprompter also captures the take. A browser-based teleprompter does both with getUserMedia and MediaRecorder, so the camera feed and script stay on the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — recording and scrolling happen entirely in your browser.

Your camera, mic and script never leave the device; there is no account and nothing is sent to a server, unlike BIGVU, VEED or online video editors.

No — record as long as you want with no watermark.

Cloud teleprompters like Teleprompter.com and Speakflow cap free voice takes at ~2 minutes and BIGVU/VEED add a watermark; this tool has neither.

Yes — optional voice-activated auto-scroll follows your reading in Chrome/Edge.

It uses the browser speech API to match spoken words to the script; on unsupported browsers it falls back to a steady WPM scroll.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

How the Teleprompter Works

AnyTool's teleprompter scrolls a script over a live camera preview entirely in the browser. The camera and microphone are opened with getUserMedia and the script scrolls using a time-based, words-per-minute calibration (frame-rate independent via requestAnimationFrame deltas) so the pace is predictable on any display. Recording uses MediaRecorder in one of two modes: clean (the script overlays the preview only and the recorded stream is the raw camera, like Kommodo) or burned-in (each frame composites the camera plus the script onto a canvas via captureStream so the text is part of the video). An optional voice-activated mode uses the browser Speech Recognition API to advance the scroll as you read, falling back to fixed WPM where unsupported. The result is offered for instant download, with an optional one-click WebM-to-MP4 conversion using the self-hosted ffmpeg engine.

Privacy & Security

Privacy vs Cloud Teleprompters

Cloud teleprompters such as BIGVU, VEED and online video editors upload recordings to a server, cap free takes (≈2-15 minutes) and often add a watermark. AnyTool records on the device, so the camera feed, mic and script never leave the browser, with no watermark, no time limit and no account.
