Descript may not have a built-in online teleprompter, but it covers the same needs. Read from your script while it fixes your gaze with AI and removes filler words. No memorizing every word or shifting your eyes from the lens.
Get started
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Add your script to a new project
Open Descript, create a new project, and place your script in the text editor. Position the Descript window near your webcam so you can read smoothly while keeping eye contact.
02
Record video while you read
Select the Record button to see your recording options. Pick your camera, microphone, or screen, then click Record into script for an automatic transcript as you speak.
03
Clean filler words and fix eye contact with AI
Crop out errors or pauses with a shortcut. Right-click filler words to remove them instantly. If you want your eyes on the camera, select your recorded clip and apply the Eye Contact AI effect.
Fix filler words and eye contact with AI
Find and remove filler words for clear audio, then apply the Eye Contact feature to direct your gaze toward the camera—even if you read from your script the entire time.
Edit teleprompter script and video at once
Podcasts, YouTube projects, social media posts, presentations, tutorials, or courses—if it has a script, Descript can record and refine it. For a teleprompter online video workflow or if you prefer a teleprompter with camera arrangement, a transcript is generated as you film, so you can jump straight to any moment and adjust with ease.
Script, record, edit, publish—everything in one go
No more juggling multiple apps for teleprompter, screen recording, and editing. Descript gives you one workspace, from first draft to final export.
Descript is an AI-driven audio and video editor that feels as simple as working in a text file.
Video editing
Run quick edits using a text-based interface, so you can handle podcasts or teleprompter for video content faster.
Eye contact
Let AI realign your gaze with the camera once filming ends. No one will notice you read from a script.
Studio sound
Improve audio without fancy gear by turning on Studio Sound. It erases background noise and polishes vocals.
AI voice cloning
Generate a voice replica with Overdub. Convert text into speech that sounds like you.
30 minutes / month of dubbing in 20+ languages

How can I read my script without shifting my eyes?
Keep your script close to the camera lens for a natural look. You can also try the Eye Contact effect in Descript to direct your gaze with AI.
Can Descript serve as a DIY teleprompter?
