Teleprompter for YouTube Videos

An 8-minute video means roughly 1,200 words. Nobody memorizes that — and reading from notes below the lens is exactly what makes footage look like a hostage tape. A browser teleprompter fixes both problems at once: your script scrolls right where you're already looking, and your eyes stay on the audience.

Why YouTubers Use ScriptPacer

• Section timing for real video structure. Split the script into intro, chapters, and outro with --- dividers, give each part its own time target, and see live whether your intro is bloating past the 30 seconds it deserves.
• Camera preview inside the prompter. A floating, draggable selfie preview shows framing and expression while you read — no more finishing a perfect take that was framed wrong the whole time.
• A script library that survives reloads. Up to 50 scripts stored in your browser. Batch-recording four videos on a Saturday means loading the next script in two clicks, not digging through docs.
• Practice Run before the real take. A stopwatch mode times your actual read section by section, so you fix pacing problems before setting up lights, not in the edit.

Settings That Work for Long-Form

For a talking-head YouTube video, a conversational 135–155 words per minute is the range that sounds like you rather than a newsreader. Set the speed to medium, do one Practice Run, and adjust from what the stopwatch tells you — your real pace matters more than the default.

Keep the text column narrow and the font large. Wide lines force visible eye movement; a narrow column keeps your gaze near the lens, and viewers stop noticing you're reading at all.

From Script to Take in Three Steps

• Paste your script and split it with --- at every natural chapter break.
• Set a time target per section (or one total target) and run one timed practice read.
• Launch the prompter, enable the camera preview, and record — the pacing glow at the bottom tells you live if you're running long.
