Production - Using an autocue

Help with content delivery

If you struggle to remember your lines, or you have a lot of content to deliver, an autocue may be the answer. There are a few autocue apps available on both mobile phones and iPads. Many free ones may just provide you with an autocue and will not record at the same time, whilst others may limit the amount of words you can use unless you purchase the app. 

One such app is Video Teleprompter light . It's an iPad app that is free to use and will record at the same time. A small watermark appears on the bottom right hand side but it's quite insignificant, but can be removed if you purchase the app. 

Another for Android phones is Lite Teleprompter but why not search for one that works best for you. 

Autocues can be quite tricky and frustrating to use and getting the settings right is the key. Once you have adjusted the text to your readable size and speed, it's just a case of practising.
