Write your script, set a time target for each section, and watch live pacing feedback while you read it back on a scrolling teleprompter — all in your browser. Built for TikTok, Reels, Shorts & LinkedIn creators.
No scripts found matching your search.
Everything you need to hit a hard time limit without sounding rushed.
Split your script into sections — Intro, Body, Outro — and give each one its own target duration. ScriptPacer keeps your pace in line with it automatically.
A color glow (green, amber, red) tells you in real time whether you're ahead, on pace, or running long during playback.
Scripts save locally in your browser as you write. No account, no server, nothing to lose if you close the tab.
Three steps between a blank page and a take you don't need to redo.
Write or paste your script into the editor, then break it into sections with a simple --- divider wherever a new part begins.
Give each section a target duration, or auto-distribute time based on a platform preset — 60 seconds for TikTok or Shorts, for example.
Launch the prompter with a draggable webcam overlay and follow the pacing glow to stay on schedule, section by section.

ScriptPacer combines three essential video production tools into one free, browser-based application: a professional-grade teleprompter, a precision script timer, and an intelligent pacing coach. Unlike traditional teleprompters that simply scroll text at a fixed speed, ScriptPacer analyzes your script's word count, calculates ideal speaking pace based on your target duration, and provides real-time visual feedback as you read.
Our section-based timing system lets you split scripts using simple Markdown dividers (---). Set individual time targets for your hook, body, and outro sections. The color-coded glow indicators at the bottom of the screen instantly tell you if you're ahead of pace (green), slightly behind (amber), or significantly over time (red) — all without breaking your eye contact with the camera.
Every script you create stays 100% private. ScriptPacer stores all data in your browser's localStorage — we have zero servers, zero databases, and zero access to your content. Your intellectual property remains entirely yours. Combined with our floating webcam overlay, script library, session history, and practice mode, ScriptPacer offers the most complete free teleprompter experience available online.

Everything you need to know about using ScriptPacer for your video production.
Yes. No subscription, no paywall, no watermark, no word-count cap. The site pays for itself through gear affiliate links and a couple of unobtrusive ads — nothing blocking the actual tool.
No. Open the page and you can start writing, timing, and reading right away — there's nothing to sign up for first.
Split your script with --- dividers and ScriptPacer counts the words in each section, then estimates reading time based on your chosen speed (slow, medium, or fast). You can also set a custom target duration per section, and the teleprompter paces itself to match it.
Yes. There's a Mirror toggle right in the teleprompter view — it flips the text horizontally so it reads correctly when reflected off a beamsplitter glass rig.
For short-form video, 150–170 words per minute tends to read as energetic rather than rushed. For something more measured, like a LinkedIn explainer, 130–140 WPM lands better. We go into more depth on this in the blog if you want the platform-by-platform breakdown.
Yes — it's a responsive web app, so it runs the same on Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, iPads, and desktop browsers.
Up to 50, stored right in your browser's local storage. They never get uploaded anywhere, so they stay private to your device.
Practice Run times your actual reading with a stopwatch instead of just estimating from word count. You mark each section as you finish it, and afterward you get a breakdown showing exactly where you ran ahead or behind — plus specific suggestions for the next take.
