Prompt! is a simple teleprompter application for public speakers used
by CEO's of banks, heads of religious organizations, radio dejays and
alike either on camera or in front of a live audience. Prompt! gives you
the additional support which provides that little bit of confidence one
needs in a public speaking environment.

When on-camera talent performs, they read what they speak from a
teleprompter. Traditionally, this task is performed by a dedicated
computer with an application to edit and scroll the text at a user driven
speed using a piece of hardware called a "scroller". The Video output of
the scrolling text is reflected from a half silvered (pellix) mirror and the
camera shoots through the other side of the mirror so that the talent is
looking into the camera but reading the reflection of the text. This
requires lots of hardware and software to achieve the same results as
Prompt! and a laptop computer or computer monitor.

By placing the laptop computer between the talent and the camera, the
talent can read text from the top of the laptop screen and still appear
to be looking at the camera if the camera is far enough back using a
long lens. Trial and error is the key to getting a natural look to this
process but the further the camera is from the subject, the better. If
the talent will be controlling their own scrolling then mouse control is
the best and if you have long mouse cord, that's even better. There is a
built-in function to allow someone else to control the speed by using
the keyboard or mouse. Use both if you like.For those traditionalists,
Prompt! will also flip the text for use on a half mirror.
