There is no doubt that good
communication skill plays a vital role to achieve success in today’s market
place. We give the importance to those people, who have the ability to speak
well. If you communicate well then you impose a great impact on the society. To
address the public meetings, or to deliver the presentations effectively,
teleprompter helps you to focus on your body language rather than memorizing
long script and allows you to connect with the audience.
The concept of Teleprompter
was introduced by Fred Barton, a television actor, in 1950. He later found the
Teleprompter corporation. Initially, paper with printed material was scrolled
with the help of a special type of mechanical equipment by a technician, but
later it had been advanced in design and technology.
Now-a-days teleprompter has
been crucial part of communication technology, and widely used in studios,
media rooms, television, conference rooms and auditoriums. Teleprompter
basically is an software based electronic system, which plays the mirrored or
un-mirrored text-script and reflected on the splitting mirror mounted in front
of the camera. Hence speaker can look directly into the mirror and read the
script consistently.
The average people, who use
the power-point presentation and cue-cards to keep them on track, teleprompter
reduce this cumbersome and allows them to speak well.

knowledge of the audience. This software has the number of features to control
speed of the playing script, format the script text, change the foreground and
background color and many more.
