TalkPrompter is a free Windows app that listens while you read and scrolls the script for you. No fixed speed. No chasing the text.
Needs the free .NET 8 Desktop Runtime. Windows offers to install it if missing.
Classic teleprompters scroll at a fixed speed and make you chase the text. This one keeps up with you.
No fixed scroll speed to chase. The script moves exactly as fast as you speak, and stops the moment you stop.
Messed up a sentence? Just read it again from anywhere. The prompter finds you and follows you back.
Speech recognition runs on your PC. No cloud, no account, no subscription. Your voice never leaves your machine.
Drag a .docx or .txt onto the window. Keep editing in Word and the prompter reloads on every save.
One click turns the app into a narrow strip right under your webcam, so viewers cannot see your eyes move.
Script library with per script resume, mirror mode for glass rigs, global hotkeys, countdown, and time left while you read.
No account, no setup wizard maze. Three steps and you are reading.
Download and run the setup. It is small and keeps itself up to date.
On first start, pick the language you read in and the app downloads its voice pack once. 12 languages, from English and German to Polish and Indonesian.
Paste your script or drop a file on the window, press Start, and just read.
Free, open source, and yours to keep. No strings attached.
