CuePrompter is one of the oldest free web teleprompters around. It's deliberately simple: paste your text into a box, set a speed, and it scrolls. For a quick desktop read, that's genuinely all some people need.
DocPrompter keeps that same paste-and-go simplicity, but it's built for how people record now — on phones, from Google Docs, and at their own speaking pace.

Same simplicity, modern features
You don't give up the simple part. Paste text and read — that still works. What's new is everything around it: scroll modes, saved scripts, and a prompter that looks right on a phone instead of a desktop page squeezed onto a small screen.
Voice-follow instead of guessing a speed
A fixed scroll speed is the classic teleprompter compromise — set it too fast and you rush, too slow and you stall. Voice-follow keeps your spoken line at the eye-line and pauses when you pause, so you stop managing the scroll and just talk. It works in Chrome, Edge, and iOS Safari 16.4+. More on that in recording without memorizing.
Built to record from your phone
If you shoot on a phone, add DocPrompter to your home screen for a tab-free fullscreen prompter, rotate the screen for a sideways mount, and let the wake-lock keep the display on. Writing on a laptop? Send the script to your phone with a QR code — no login on that device.
Tool features change over time, so check each site for specifics. In short: CuePrompter is great for a fast desktop paste-and-scroll, and DocPrompter is the better fit when you want voice-follow, saved scripts, and a phone-first setup.
