Use Descript's online teleprompter to paste a script, set scroll speed, and record as you read. Keep a natural eye with adjustable text, mirror mode, and focus-friendly settings for the on-screen autocue.

These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Start a new Descript project, open the recorder, and turn on the teleprompter. You can paste in a script from Google Docs or wherever it lives to keep your script and edits in one place. Before recording:
02
Choose your camera, microphone, and screen if needed. Then, record while the script scrolls beside your lens. Or set it up to scroll manually when you want more control. For Descript for Web and Descript Rooms, make sure the teleprompter is outside the area for screen recording.
03
Even a good read can come with teleprompter tells: the extra "uh," the restart halfway through a sentence, or the quick eye dart. Clean those up after recording with filler word removal and AI eye contact correction. So the final take sounds smoother and looks more natural.
Remove filler words, then use eye contact AI video effect to correct teleprompter eyes in post. It makes you look like you're facing the camera, even when you're reading from a script or screen.
Your teleprompter script and transcript are generated as you record, so you can jump straight to any moment and edit with ease. Edit a line, then re-record just that section and keep moving.
No more juggling between apps. Script first, record next, cleanup after, publish when ready — all from Descript. If you're comparing options, here's a look at the best teleprompter software.
A good teleprompter is about control. Descript lets you adjust scroll speed, resize text, flip for glass rigs, and use focus-friendly reading modes — so you sound less like you're reading. Check out the setup of some of the best teleprompter tools.
Descript gives you the teleprompter part people actually want, then adds the rest of the workflow around it: cleaner reads, fewer retakes, and an easier path from first script to finished video.
Make changes as easily as editing text. Cut a flubbed sentence, remove a restart, tighten long pauses, and trim retakes without rebuilding the whole timeline from scratch.
Descript's eye contact AI video effect helps fix darting eyes by adjusting your gaze, so it feels more like direct-to-camera delivery.
One-take reads are great until background noise ruins the sound quality. Studio Sound helps clean things up, so a take stays usable, even when your recording space isn't exactly a studio.
If one word is off, you shouldn't have to re-record the whole paragraph. Descript's voice tools can help patch a line or replace a miss without dragging you back into full retake mode.
With a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and a bunch of distinctions on G2, Descript’s users have declared it an industry standard in the video and podcasting world.
