Teleprompter for Church Services & Sermons

A sermon lives or dies on connection, and connection is hard to build while glancing down at printed pages. More and more worship teams run a teleprompter — for the sermon itself, for liturgy readings, for announcements between segments — so the speaker's eyes stay with the congregation instead of with the paper.

Why Worship Teams Use ScriptPacer

• A calm, steady scroll for a measured delivery. Sermons sit naturally at a slower 110–130 words per minute. Set the pace once and the text moves with you — no clicker, no page turns, no rustling paper on the livestream mic.
• Mirror mode for real prompter hardware. If your church uses beamsplitter glass in front of a camera for the livestream, one toggle flips the text so it reads correctly in the reflection.
• Sections that match the service order. Split the script with --- into welcome, readings, sermon points, and closing — each with its own time target, so a 25-minute slot stays a 25-minute slot.
• Nothing gets uploaded, ever. Sermon drafts often go through many personal revisions. ScriptPacer stores everything in the browser on your own device — there is no server copy, no account, nothing to leak.

Settings That Work From the Pulpit

Distance is the main variable. Whether the screen is a confidence monitor at the foot of the stage or a tablet on the pulpit, pick a font size you can read without squinting from your actual speaking position — then go one size larger. If the eyes work to read, the face shows it.

Pace should sit at 110–130 WPM, slower than any other use case on this site — weight and pauses are part of the message. Time one full run in Practice Mode beforehand; it's much easier to trim two minutes on Thursday than to rush the closing on Sunday.

Setting It Up for a Service

• Paste the sermon or service script and divide it with --- at each part of the service order.
• Set the total time to your slot, do one practice read, and adjust the per-section targets.
• On Sunday, launch the prompter on the monitor or tablet — the text follows your pace, and the glow indicator quietly shows if you're drifting long.
