WHAT REMOTE CONTROL DOES

Teleprompter.com's remote control turns any second device (iPhone, iPad, android, apple watch, or any web browser) into a full remote for your teleprompter. It automatically uses the most reliable connection available: bluetooth when there is no internet, your local network when devices share wi-fi, or the internet from anywhere in the world. From the remote you can start and stop scrolling, open scripts, make live edits, and preview exactly what is on the prompting device. The remote can also act as a second display, mirroring the script with zero latency, so one account can run two synchronized teleprompters at once. No other major teleprompter app offers this.

NO PROPRIETARY HARDWARE

Any device is a remote

No proprietary hardware to buy. Grab whatever is nearby (a phone, a tablet, an apple watch on your wrist, or a laptop browser), sign in, and you are controlling the prompter. The camera operator, producer, or the speaker themselves can hold the controls.

It always finds a way to connect

The remote automatically picks the most reliable link available. No internet on location? It works over bluetooth. Same wi-fi network? It uses that. Different city? It connects over the internet. You never configure anything. It just connects.

FULL CONTROL

More than play and pause

From the remote you can open any script in your library, make live edits that appear instantly on the prompter, adjust playback, and preview what the prompting device is showing, without ever walking over to the rig. (the apple watch acts as a playback remote.)

Turn the remote into a second teleprompter

Flip the remote into display mode and it mirrors your script with zero latency. Run a prompter on the camera rig and a confidence monitor at the podium, or give two presenters their own synchronized screens, all from a single account. No other major teleprompter app can do this.
