Smooth out your words with Imaginary Teleprompter
Eloquence

A teleprompter can help you give a polished look to your speeches and video presentations. Imaginary Teleprompter is a free tool that delivers professional teleprompting capabilities.
Teleprompters have become an important tool in television and politics.
