A mobile application designed for devices running Google’s Android operating system, which functions as an on-screen scrolling text display to aid individuals in delivering speeches, presentations, or video recordings. This type of application mirrors the functionality of a traditional teleprompter, allowing a speaker to read a script while maintaining eye contact with the audience or camera. For example, a news presenter might use such an application on a tablet placed below the camera lens to read news stories without appearing to read.
The significance of such tools lies in their ability to facilitate smoother and more engaging presentations. They offer benefits such as reduced reliance on memorization, improved eye contact, and a more natural delivery. Historically, teleprompters were expensive and cumbersome studio equipment, but these mobile applications have democratized access to this technology, making it available to a wider audience of professionals, educators, and content creators. This accessibility has fueled their adoption in various fields, including journalism, education, and online video production.
