Turn Your iPad or iPhone into a Teleprompter

I-Prompter

I do a lot of public speaking and presentations, and I shoot a lot of video. If you do as well, I think you’ll be impressed with the website I found recently. I just love it when someone finds a way to convert a tool that I already own into something new that lets me try something I’ve always wanted to do. And that’s exactly the case with i-Prompter, which turns an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a Teleprompter.

I love the idea of Teleprompters. And while I own large video cameras, small video cameras and lots of video-related stuff, Teleprompters have always been beyond my budget — they can cost thousands and thousands of dollars. But i-Prompter offers different types of kits that convert iPhones, iPod Touch of iPads into Teleprompters to suit various presentation needs and budgets.

For example, their Datavision i-Prompter uses either an iPhone or an iPod Touch housed inside the little box with special software. They have a little app that you download; the box comes with the mirror and a hole for the camera — and you are in business. Now, of course, if you want to have the big cameras, they offer the i-Prompter Pro for full-size, full-blown Teleprompters.

Here’s a great idea: the i-Prompter for iPad. You can download an app from the site that provides the automatic teleprompting information. You set the speed, you make the determination. It’s pretty amazing. The site’s software lets you download several  apps — fast script, control prompting speed, and  instant script editing and timing — to your  iPhone, iPod or  iPad.

The i-Prompter site turns technology I already own — an iPhone, an iPad and a video camera – into the Teleprompter I’ve always wanted. I love it.
