Teleprompter mirror mode that flips your script for beam-splitter glass

A beam-splitter rig sits your device flat below an angled pane of glass. The glass is half-mirror: the camera sees straight through it to you, while you see the screen's reflection floating right over the lens. Because a mirror reverses left and right, anything you put on screen normally appears reversed in that reflection — the letters run the wrong way and whole words read back to front.

Mirror mode solves it by flipping the text horizontally before it's displayed. The on-screen version looks reversed to your naked eye, but the reflection in the teleprompter glass reads completely normal. That's the whole trick behind every glass teleprompter, and it's why a dedicated teleprompter mirror toggle matters more than any other setting for this kind of hardware.

Open your script, mount the device under your beam-splitter, and tap the mirror toggle. The text instantly flips so it reads correctly through the glass. From there, smooth auto-scroll keeps your lines moving at a pace you set, and the large adjustable type stays crisp in the reflection even from a step or two back. Nudge the speed up or down between takes until the rhythm matches how you actually talk.

Prefer not to use a hardware rig? The same flip powers front-camera and selfie recording, where the live preview is already mirrored. And if you'd rather skip glass entirely, the hands-free floating overlay sits your script directly over your camera or recording app — so your eyes still stay near the lens, no beam-splitter required.

Teleprompter Premium+ is one universal app, so mirror mode behaves the same whether you drop an iPhone into a phone-sized teleprompter, slot an iPad into a larger studio rig, or run a Mac-mounted setup for desk shoots. Your scripts sync over iCloud, so a script you wrote on the Mac is ready to flip and read on the iPhone in your prompter.

Apple Watch can act as a remote, so you can start, pause and adjust scrolling without reaching past the glass and knocking your framing. It's a small thing that keeps a one-person shoot moving — you stay in position, eyes on the lens, and drive the prompter from your wrist.

This site includes a free online teleprompter and script editor. A marketer or brand can write or paste a script in the browser, then share a single link. The creator opens that link and the script drops straight into Teleprompter Premium+, where mirror mode and auto-scroll are one tap away — no retyping, no copy-paste, no formatting cleanup.

Sharing can be public, so anyone with the link can open it, or private, inviting specific people by email. The recipient can also read it in a live in-browser teleprompter right on the page if they're not at their rig yet. It's a clean hand-off: brand writes the words, creator reads them flipped and clean through the glass.

Bump the font size up a notch more than feels necessary — a reflection through glass is slightly dimmer than your raw screen, so larger type stays legible. Start your scroll a touch slower than your natural speaking pace and ease it faster as you settle into the take; it's easier to catch up to text than to wait for it.

If you're combining mirror mode with voice-activated scrolling, the script follows your speech using on-device speech recognition, so it waits when you pause and moves when you talk — handy when you go off-book for a beat. And before you ever record, run your script through the AI script review to tighten wording for spoken delivery, so the lines you read off the glass actually sound natural out loud.
