Presidential Teleprompters: What Are They

By Jessica Parker


Teleprompters are display devices that prompt the speaker with an electronic visual text that creates an illusion that the speaker has memorized the speech. These devices are used by speakers all around the globe. The name was derived from the company TelePrompTer which first developed the device in 1950. This day we would be talking about the components that make a presidential teleprompter.

A prompter is a tool that allows the speaker to see the words that they shall be speaking. By using a prompter, speakers like you can make an illusion of eye contact creating a deep connection between you.

Some speakers might think that with a teleprompter they do not have to do their rehearsals. That is actually a counterproductive thing to do. Even with Teleprompters you still need to prepare your delivery for the teleprompter to work to your advantage.

The monitor displays the document with the support of program. Most documents are composed by word processing programs like Microsoft and WPS word and will be imported to the program. A video graphic array will be used to transfer documents to the teleprompter. The documents are displayed in reverse on the monitor so that the reader could read them. Most of the times, the reversal is made in the program.

Memorizing your composition is so boring and time-consuming. It takes a lot of your energy. And it also does not guarantee that you would be capable of remembering everything unless you are a super genius. And most of us are not really good at memorizing things.

The amount that you could spend memorizing your piece should be used to practice your piece. By constantly practicing you would become surer of your delivery and helps you develop the confidence to deliver an excellent speech. With enough practice, you will appear more comfortable on the stage.

They will have enough time to develop quality speeches within the allotted time. This tool saves you a lot of time that you will be using trying to remember your piece.
