How VoicePrompter Works
VoicePrompter uses voice-activated scrolling to automatically advance text as the user speaks. This feature is powered by built-in speech recognition technology, which is available in more than 20 languages. The app runs entirely in the browser, making it accessible without installation. It also includes advanced settings for adjusting alignment, highlighting, font size, and other display options to suit different needs.
Users can start the teleprompter by pasting their script into the interface and then speaking naturally. The app responds in real-time, scrolling through the text based on the speaker's pace. Additional features like mirroring mode help users view the script while looking directly into the camera, and voice commands allow for quick resets or adjustments during a session.
