I think this entire post is so important. It might even wake up those on the fence about acquiring a teleprompter.
There is a simple and relatively inexpensive alternative to the issue posted. Elgato teleprompter has come up with a brilliant answer. Even the best professional teleprompter for TV broadcasts don’t have what Elgato “brings to the table.”
If you have seen news broadcasts which show the TV cameras with the black housing for their teleprompters, below are monitors so the on-air TV hosts can see the other person their talking to via webcams. What you see are their eyes panning down. I, personally, have spoken, face-to-face with the CEO/top producer of these teleprompters, CueScript, and have mentioned, “why not incorporate the webcam image within the mirror/teleprompter instead of below the teleprompter? This guy blew me off! This was at NAB in Las Vegas last year.
Take a look-see at the Elgato Teleprompter. NO, I do NOT work for Elgato and have NO affiliation (other than the fact I DO own this Elgato Teleprompter) with the product. I’m just an interested person looking to help others.
