teleprompters
Scrolling speech screens
Teleprompters are devices that display scrolling text for speakers to read while appearing to maintain eye contact with an audience or camera.
The text is typically reflected on a transparent screen positioned in front of a camera lens or lectern, invisible to viewers.
Politicians, newscasters, and public speakers rely on teleprompters to deliver prepared remarks smoothly without memorization or visible notes.
The president read from teleprompters flanking the podium.
