Professional teleprompters in use at big events such as presidential speeches cost a lot of money and requires a quite complicated setup and configuration to work correctly during the speech.

Place your iPad as close as possible to the lens of the camera shooting the video. With a certain distance to the camera and with some training, it’s close to impossible for your audience to notice that your eyes read the text on the screen instead of focus on the camera lens.

Once you have your teleprompter hardware, you need a software that can roll out the scripted text on your screen. There are many different software you can get for free on the Internet.

The free basic version will in most cases be sufficient, but by upgrading to a paid version, you will get access to a lot of different features.
