Teleprompter for online courses and training videos

Updated October 23, 2026 · Anthony Delmotte

In short. Write one script per lesson, split it into short sections, and record each section as its own take with the same framing and light. A prompter that follows your voice keeps delivery natural across hours of material.

Scripts keep lessons tight

Improvised lessons wander, and students skip. A script keeps each lesson to the point and makes it easy to update one lesson later without re-recording the course.

A workflow that scales

1. Outline the course, then write each lesson as a script of 3 to 8 minutes (about 400 to 1,100 words).
2. Split each script into sections of one idea each. In SmoothCue, each section becomes a card.
3. Record section by section. A mistake costs one card, not a whole lesson.
4. Keep the phone, light and framing in the same place for the whole session so lessons match.

Sound like a teacher, not a reader

Students forgive a stumble but not a monotone. Leave room to explain an example in your own words: with voice follow you can step off the script and tap the word where you return. Our guide on reading naturally has more tips.

Screen recordings

For software lessons, record the screen separately and use the prompter for the talking-head intro and outro of each lesson.
