Sponsor reads that sound natural
Read ad copy at your own pace instead of memorizing it or eyeballing a printout.
Teleprompter for podcasters
Most podcasts are conversational by design, but the parts that need to land exactly right — intros, sponsor reads, outros — read better than they're improvised. Easy Teleprompter keeps that scripted content on hand without breaking the flow of the rest of the episode.
Paste your intro, ad copy, or interview questions in, and scroll through them at your own pace while you record.
Keep your questions on hand
Scroll through interview questions without shuffling notes mid-conversation.
Works for video or audio-only
Useful for camera eye-line on video podcasts, and just as handy for audio-only shows.
Where a prompter actually helps a podcast
Improvised conversation is most of what makes a podcast feel real, so a prompter isn't for the whole episode — it's for the parts where consistency matters more than spontaneity: a cold open, a recurring intro format, sponsor obligations that need exact wording, or a structured list of interview questions you don't want to forget mid-chat.
Scripting sponsor reads without sounding like an ad
Write the read the way you'd actually recommend something to a friend rather than the way the sponsor's brief is phrased. Keep sentences short, read it out loud once before recording, and try a slightly slower scroll speed than your normal talking pace — sponsor reads land better with a bit more deliberate pacing than casual conversation.
Using it for video podcasts vs. audio-only
For video podcasts, position the prompter close to your camera the same way you would for any on-camera recording, so your eye line doesn't drift during a scripted segment. For audio-only shows, eye-line positioning doesn't matter — the prompter is purely a reading aid, so it can live on whatever screen is convenient, including a laptop off to the side.
Do podcasters actually need a teleprompter?
Many podcasts are unscripted, but intros, outros, sponsor reads, and structured interview questions benefit from a prompter — anywhere exact wording or consistent structure matters more than pure improvisation.
How do I script a sponsor read so it doesn't sound robotic?
Write it the way you'd actually pitch a product to a friend, keep sentences short, and read it out loud once before recording to catch anything that reads fine but sounds awkward spoken. A slightly slower scroll speed than your normal talking pace also helps a sponsor read land more naturally.
Can I keep my interview questions in the prompter while recording?
Yes. Paste your list of questions or talking points into Easy Teleprompter and scroll through them at your own pace during the conversation — you're not locked into continuous auto-scroll if you pause the prompter between questions.
Is there a teleprompter option for audio-only podcasts?
Audio-only podcasts don't need eye-line positioning the way video does, but a prompter is still useful for reading intros, ad reads, and outros word-for-word without shuffling paper or switching windows mid-recording.
