What is the Ideal Teleprompter Speed? Stop Chasing the Text
You set the speed to 3. Too slow. Set to 4. Too fast. The result? You speed up your speech to keep up with the machine and sound like a horse race announcer. Stop suffering.
The Golden Metric: WPM (Words Per Minute)
Natural conversational speech is around 130 to 150 words per minute (WPM).
Audiobooks and newscasts are a bit slower, around 150-160 WPM, to ensure clarity. Energetic YouTubers can reach 180 WPM.
Quick Test: Take a text of 150 words. Time your normal reading. If it's 1 minute, congratulations, you have the ideal pace.
Why Manual Adjustment Fails?
The problem with fixed automatic scrolling is that we humans are not robots. Sometimes we take a dramatic pause. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we need to breathe. Fixed scrolling doesn't wait for you, creating anxiety.
The Voice Control (AI) Revolution
Forget speed control. PromptNinja uses artificial intelligence to listen to your voice.
- You stop talking? The text stops.
- You talk fast? The text speeds up.
- You take a long pause? The text waits patiently.
It's like having a human teleprompter operator listening to you, but free.
