What is a "teleprompter"?
A teleprompter is a device used to display a script or text for speakers, such as news anchors or presenters, while they are on camera. The text is shown on a screen in front of them, allowing them to read it while looking directly at the audience, making it appear as though they are speaking naturally. Teleprompters are commonly used in television broadcasts, live events, and speeches to help speakers deliver their message smoothly and without the need to memorize their lines.
Examples
The news anchor read the script smoothly from the teleprompter, delivering the evening news with confidence.
During his speech, the politician glanced occasionally at the teleprompter to stay on track and maintain eye contact with the audience.
