GhostPrompter
GhostPrompter is a laptop teleprompter designed for Windows and Mac that helps users maintain natural eye contact while reading scripts on camera. It operates as an invisible click-through overlay, floating above other applications without blocking screen content. This allows presenters to interact with their slides, demos, or code while still reading their notes. The tool supports optional voice-activated scrolling, enabling hands-free control, and integrates seamlessly with video conferencing and recording software like Zoom, Loom, OBS, ScreenFlow, and Microsoft Teams. GhostPrompter is built for professionals who record video content regularly, such as content creators, educators, sales teams, and course creators. By removing the need to look away from the camera, it makes recordings more engaging and reduces the time spent on retakes. The transparent overlay ensures that the script remains visible but unobtrusive, allowing for natural pacing and confident delivery. The application addresses common teleprompter shortcomings, such as forced scroll speeds and screen obstruction. With GhostPrompter, users can adjust the speed manually or rely on voice detection to scroll the text in sync with their speech. It supports use on up to two devices and is rated highly by over 500 creators, founders, and sales teams.
