There was no good free teleprompter application, so I made my own … with Godot. A Teleprompter made with Godot. The code is completely open source and available on GitHub. As I could not find a good teleprompter application and many of the teleprompter apps I tried worked inefficiently, I decided to make my own which was easier said then done.

Thanks to the help of the people on my discord server I was able to make it work properly. ^^

Why a teleprompter

Because I have 3 YouTube channels, using a teleprompter can save me a lot of time in both recording and editing. The videos also flow more naturally when using a teleprompter as I can keep more structure in everything. Sometimes I use a teleprompter to just display the main talking points so I can still talk freely, whilst keeping more structure without forgetting to mention certain things.

TeleDot

This is my solution for making a better teleprompter application, one which I can easily setup and control through my PC.

TeleDot View goes on your smartphone and all you need to do is open the app and put it into your teleprompter, afterwards you don’t need to touch your phone again!

TeleDot Controller is the program for your pc which will be the place where you type/copy-paste your script and where you’ll have all the controls to connect, control and change settings on the View itself.

Plug and play

It’s pretty much plug and play and the connection between your phone and pc happens through your local network. So no more bluetooth controllers or having to touch your phone to change settings, load scripts, or make adjustments. 

This was the plug and play option which I wanted from a teleprompter so I can save time recording videos as my previous solution required me to copy my scripts from my pc to google drive, from google drive to my phone and then copy it inside of the teleprompter app which I was using. Not to mention that if there were mistakes in the script I had to do the copy ritual all over again.
