Look into the lens, not at a scrolling wall of text.

VoxPrompter is a free online teleprompter that runs in your browser: put the window as close to your camera as your screen allows, and read at your own pace while the highlight follows your voice. No app to install, no rig to buy.

Keep your eyeline near the lens

Shrink the browser window, crank the text size up, and park it directly under or beside your camera. The closer the words sit to the lens, the less your eyes drift — and because only a few words are highlighted at a time, you’re tracking a point, not scanning a page.

Shooting through a beam-splitter rig instead? Flip on “Mirror for glass” in the display settings and the text reverses, so it reads correctly in the reflection.

Sound like you, take after take

The highlight advances at whatever pace you actually talk and waits when you pause, so you’re performing, not chasing a scroll bar. A 3-2-1 count-in starts every read, and you can drop a bookmark before a tricky section and jump straight back to it for the retake.

Nothing to install, nothing to buy

It’s a web app: open it in the browser on the machine you already film with. The basic teleprompter — including voice-following — is free forever, and you can start without an account at /try. Your mic is analyzed locally and nothing you say leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is VoxPrompter really free for YouTube videos?

Yes. The teleprompter, including voice-following, is free forever, and you can use it without creating an account at vox-prompter.com/try. The paid Pro plan adds audio-recording studio tools that video creators generally don’t need.

Do I need any hardware or apps?

No. VoxPrompter runs in any modern browser on the computer you already film with, reading straight off the screen. If you do own a beam-splitter teleprompter rig, the “Mirror for glass” setting flips the text horizontally so it reads correctly in the reflection.

Can it record my video?

No — your camera and recording app handle the video. VoxPrompter can record audio takes locally in the browser, which is aimed at narrators; for video work you’d typically just use it as the prompter.

How do I avoid looking like I’m reading?

Put the prompter window as close to the lens as you can, make the text large, and let voice-following set the pace — most “teleprompter face” comes from chasing a fixed scroll speed. Pausing is free: the highlight waits with you.
