A mobile teleprompter for Android can improve video communication

A conventional teleprompter is a device that allows a video speaker to continuously look directly into a camera while reading a script, ie without ever needing to look away from the camera (in order to read the script somewhere else like a piece of paper). Specifically, it uses mirrors to project the  presenter's script onto a transparent panel in front of a video camera lens thereby keeping the text hidden from the camera. It is commonly used by news anchors, politicians and other public speakers. Its value is that it allows audience to feel better connected with the speaker because the teleprompter allows the speaker to maintain eye contact.  

However, the increased use of vlogging and video marketing communication, especially when the presenter is 'on the go' required a mobile, light weight teleprompting solution. Nano Teleprompter is a product that offers one such solution. Anyone with only a smartphone video camera can use it. Here is a very quick rundown.

Advantages of Nano Teleprompter 

  • Can be used with only a phone that has a video camera.
  • Has an adjustable floating widget that you can use while using the phone camera. You can resize and drag the window freely.
  • Adjustable margins and space between lines
  • Has adjustable delay, ie you can delay the scrolling for a specific number of seconds
  • Allows you to pinch to make the text bigger, and drag from the corner to change the window size
  • You can open any text file directly in the floating widget. In your file explorer open a text file and choose Nano Teleprompter to open it or just select some text and press share, then select Nano Teleprompter. it will automatically open your camera app too.
  • Highlight important phrases just select the phrase and then the color.
  • Custom colors and opacity for the text and the background
  • It can be used with any camera app Unlike other teleprompter apps this app can be used with any camera app in landscape and portrait mode.
  • It has a 'float text' function that allows you to drag the text anywhere over your screen. The ideal location is as close to the camera lens as possible so your audience will not see evidence that you are reading a script.
  • Allows you to overlay script on other apps like live stream apps (for Instagram, Facebook and so on).
  • Allows you to setup with external equipment, ie other than your phone.
  • Is sold at a relatively low one-off amount.
