About Prompter People

Our Origins and Our Expertise

Our company was established in 2003 to satisfy a specific need—the need for affordable, rock-solid reliable teleprompters.

Before Prompter People began selling and inventing teleprompters, this new category of teleprompters did not exist. In effect, Prompter People innovated the entire category and our company has led in sales and customer service since the first day we opened our doors.

For more than two decades now, Prompter People has continued to expand the category with hardware and software solutions that make creating videos and films easier for professionals on both sides of the camera.

Prompter People markets the highest quality, most cost-effective products available for the professional and consumer video market. We sweat the details so you don’t have to.

The glass we choose is industry grade. The features on the teleprompters we sell are designed by and for the people using the equipment.  Bottom line, our solutions work for you. Guaranteed.

Currently, broadcasters, independent producers, entertainers, corporate video departments, video rental shops, government agencies, advertising agencies, churches, schools and nonprofits purchase Prompter People products.

Our Philosophy

We are in the video business too. We know what it’s like to be a small and medium sized business owner, what it’s like to be on a shoot with a difficult script to get through, so we have developed our company around a simply concept that you can’t make a bad decision.

Every one of our products has been real world tested to work with your cameras and other gear without hassle or excessive set up or tear down.

We supply you to what you need in the box to have to get your work accomplished, and provide various upgrade kits to turn your standard Teleprompter into a full broadcast quality Teleprompter.

The Prompter People Difference

Prompter People teleprompters are designed and supported by people who have actually worked in the broadcast and corporate production fields. 

Our products are designed to be simple to setup and use, and wherever possible to have intuitive functionality.

One example of our difference is the fact that all our monitors are auto-reversed. This does away with difficult computer setup and prevents most technical difficulties.

Another common feature of our products is that they are compatible with any tripod and ship fully assembled.

Another “Prompter People Advantage” is the fact that we provide both Mac and PC software with each prompter. TeleScroll is a scalable software and paired with Prompter People's Auto-reversing Monitors you can prompt anything your computer can display in mirrored or extended desktop to any of our Monitors or you can use your Smartphone or Tablet to Prompt.
