teleprompter
Speaker's digital cue
A teleprompter is a device that displays scrolling text for a speaker to read while appearing to look directly at the audience or camera.
The text reflects off angled glass in front of the lens, invisible to viewers.
Politicians and news anchors rely on teleprompters for speeches and broadcasts: She glanced at the teleprompter and lost her place.
