Free teleprompter for singers: scroll your lyrics on stage
Updated October 27, 2026 · Anthony Delmotte
Short answer. For lyrics, use a steady scroll, not voice follow: speech recognition is made for speaking, not singing. Paste the song into our free online teleprompter, set a big text size and adjust the speed with the arrow keys during the first verse.
Set it up for a song
- Paste the lyrics, one verse or chorus per paragraph, with an empty line between them.
- Choose a large text size: on stage you read from further away than you think.
- Leave Follow my voice off and set a slow starting speed.
- During the first verse, use ← and → to match the scroll to the song. Space pauses during a solo.
Hands-free control
Page-turner pedals made for sheet music usually send arrow or space keys, so they can pause the scroll or change its speed while you play.
Which screen
A tablet on a mic-stand holder or a laptop on the floor monitor works. For a camera shoot, put the screen under teleprompter glass with mirror mode.
Why not voice follow?
Voice recognition expects spoken words. Held notes, harmonies and loud instruments confuse it. A steady scroll you control is more reliable for music.
