The professional Teleprompter Software for Mac, Windows and Linux
broadcastprompter drives the operator and talent screens over the network — with true master/backup redundancy, named anchors, overlays and remote control. Built for the moments where nothing can go wrong.
Runs on macOS, Windows & Linux · master and backup in sync · no cloud required
The worst nightmare at a high-stakes event isn't the stumble over a line — it's the frozen screen. That's why broadcastprompter runs two stations in parallel from the start, with instant takeover in either direction.
Both stations match word for word and position for position, in real time over a direct network link — not through the cloud.
Hand control to the backup the instant you need it — no jump, no lost position — and take the live feed back to the master again whenever you want. As often as you want.
The parallel control link between the stations is signed and paired (HMAC) and stays on your local network — no stray device can drive your show.
Master and backup sync over a direct cable on fixed addresses — not through your router. If the router or Wi-Fi drops, the link between the machines keeps running, and you can swap to a direct cable with no reconfiguration.
Most prompters lock the script the second you go on air. broadcastprompter.pro keeps it live: the talent reads exactly what you see, and every edit you make appears on their screen in real time — no stop, no reload, no lost position.
Fix a name, drop in a late addition, cut a paragraph mid-show — the host follows along without missing a beat. It's the one thing we've never seen another teleprompter do.
Live reading happens in prompt mode — the dedicated mode where the talent reads along. The rest of the time the talent screen shows a holding screen of your choice: a standby text or your own graphic.
When the agency or artist sends a fresh version — hours before you go live — you don't start over. Update Script puts the old and new script side by side and pushes all your formatting from the old version onto the new one: anchors, speaker styles, line breaks and cue symbols, carried across automatically.
It's a huge time-saver — and it means you always work in the latest, definitive script. No juggling versions, no re-formatting every new draft by hand. Accept the transfer, scan the highlighted changes, and the new version is prompter-ready.
From script navigation to studio output — designed around what the operator and the talent actually need to stay in control.
You drive from your screen; the talent sees only the clean reading text — on a second display or an external output.
Speed, position and jumps travel over the network to the output and the backup — from the control room or front of house.
What you edit is what the talent reads — instantly, mid-show, with no reload and no lost position. Our standout feature.
Control exactly where each line breaks for the talent — or let auto-break place them, so every line lands the way it's spoken.
Have the script read out to rehearse pacing, check timing and catch awkward phrasing before you go live.
Mark who's talking with named speakers and per-speaker styling, so every handover between host and guests is unmistakable.
Drop an anchor anywhere and give it a name. It becomes a labeled jump point in the rundown and a precise marker in the text.
Show each anchor as a colored line, as text or hidden — and operator and talent stay perfectly aligned, with no drift between screens.
Headings and anchors build a chapter list automatically. One click jumps to any point in the script — locked during the show.
A clear reading line gives the talent a safe entry point — adjustable in position, thickness and color, on preview and output.
Show the time of day or a countdown — fixed duration or a target end time, with pause and resume. Drag it anywhere in frame.
A progress bar shows how much text is left; the blind spot marks the area the talent can no longer see — for your eyes only.
Drop colored cue symbols straight into the reading text and reorder your palette — quiet, unambiguous prompts for the talent.
Scroll wheel and slider set the pace smoothly, with pause on a keypress and fine trim in 0.5 steps.
Flip the talent output horizontally and vertically for any camera prompter or beam-splitter hood, and set font size, line spacing and safe area to match it exactly.
A clean signal on a black background, ready to drop straight into your ATEM or any other video switcher.
Start, stop and hold from the keyboard — reliably, even when focus sits on another window or screen.
Control messages between stations are signed and paired (HMAC) and stay on your local network — your script never leaves the room.
A new version from the agency? Push your formatting from the old script onto the new one — anchors, speakers, breaks and cues — so you always work in the latest version, prompter-ready in minutes.
Drive the scroll with your foot at a smooth, calibrated speed, with multi-tap gestures — so your hands stay free for the rest of the show.
The stations sync over a direct cable on fixed addresses, independent of any router — so a router glitch can't touch the link between master and backup.
Pin sync to one dedicated interface and keep it there. It won't fall back to any other network, so the control link stays clean and predictable.
One button before the show confirms the essentials at a glance — sync interface, backup reachable, pairing, isolation — so nothing is missed at setup.
Optionally cut external internet the moment you go into prompt mode — without ever touching the sync link between the machines. For shows that stay in the room.
Between segments the talent screen shows a holding screen you control — a standby text or your own graphic, switched in a click. The talent only reads along live in prompt mode.
Runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux — and master and backup don't even have to be the same operating system.
Your work is saved continuously and a recovery copy is written every few seconds — so a crash or a pulled plug never costs you more than the last keystrokes.
Reading line, timing, progress, blind spot, anchors and cues — laid over the clean output and identical on master and backup.
Wherever the spoken word has to land and a second take isn't an option — including the rooms where security and discretion weigh as much as the words. Fixed-IP cable sync, a signed control link and an optional air-gap keep the script in the room.
Precise handoffs, a countdown to the next cue, and calm prompts for your speakers.
Clean output into your ATEM or other switcher, and a separate operator station.
Lyrics and liturgy reliably on a stage monitor or camera prompter — with a backup running.
Shareholder meetings and internal events with control-room operation and live edits.
Fast jumps through the run of show, pace by feel, and a safety net for the big night.
Read scripts cleanly, control the pace yourself, in any language, without the stumbles.
High-stakes appearances where nothing can freeze and nothing can leak — fixed-IP cable sync, a signed control link and an optional air-gap keep everything in the room.
Confidential remarks read cleanly, with control-room operation, live edits and a backup running in parallel — no cloud, no stray device on the link.
Embargoed numbers for banks and financial providers stay put: signed local sync, nothing in the cloud, and the internet optionally cut while you're on air.
Paste your text, structure it with headings and anchors, set cues and overlays. The rundown builds itself.
The clean output runs on stage while you keep the preview, pace and rundown on your own screen.
A second station mirrors everything in real time — ready to take over at any moment, with no jump.
To switch the talent feed live you need an ATEM video switcher; the two stations sync over a single Ethernet cable or a small switch — on fixed IPs, independent of your venue's network.
Yes. It runs natively on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux. Master and backup can even be different operating systems.
The backup stays word-for-word in sync with the master. The moment you need it, control passes to the backup with no jump and no lost position — and you can hand the live feed back to the master again at any time. The talent keeps reading without interruption.
Yes. Control runs over the network. The operator screen and the talent output are separate, and speed and position are sent in real time.
Yes. The talent output can be mirrored and fine-tuned for font size, line spacing and safe area to match any prompter hood.
Yes. The output is a clean signal on a black background, ready to drop straight into an ATEM or any other video switcher.
Yes. You can edit text while prompting is running; changes are pushed live to the talent output and to the backup.
No. Update Script compares the old and new version side by side and carries your anchors, speaker styling, line breaks and cue symbols across to the new text automatically — so the new version arrives prompter-ready instead of starting from scratch.
Yes. The two stations sync over a direct cable on fixed IP addresses, independent of any router, so a router failure doesn't affect them. You can pin sync to that one interface, and optionally cut the internet while prompting — which never touches the sync link between the machines.
Yes. A foot pedal controls scroll speed with a variable, calibrated response and multi-tap gestures, so your hands stay free during the show.
