Teleprompter for teachers.
Recording one lesson is easy. Recording thirty, and having lesson twenty-nine agree with lesson three, is the actual job.

Quick answer
Teachers and course creators use a teleprompter to keep terminology consistent across a course and to retake a single section of a lesson without re-recording the whole thing. Section markers make partial retakes possible and presenter notes hold definitions the instructor wants visible but not read aloud.
The problem is not nerves, it is drift
Anyone can record one good lesson. What goes wrong on a thirty-lesson course is that by week six you have defined the same term three slightly different ways, and one of your students is writing a review about it right now.
The fix is boring and it works: write it down, keep it, and read it. The definition you settled on in module one is still sitting in your script in module thirty, saying exactly what it said the first time.
Retake a block, not a lesson
Twenty minutes into recording, you fluff a sentence. Without sections you either start again, edit around it, or accept it. With sections you jump to the top of that block, record it again, and everything before it is still good.
Across a course, this is the difference between finishing and quietly abandoning the project in month three, which is what happens to most courses and is almost never about the content.
Narrating slides
Put a screen share behind the script and you read while looking at exactly what the learner will see. No second monitor, no glancing off to check where the cursor is, no discovering in the edit that you were describing slide four while slide three was up.
Bold the terms
Wrap key terminology in double asterisks and it renders bold on the prompter. Sounds trivial. It means you physically cannot skim past the word you are meant to define, which after two hours of recording is a real risk and one you will not notice yourself taking.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep terminology consistent across a course?
Write the script and keep it. Bold your key terms so you cannot skim past them, and put reference definitions in presenter notes so they are in front of you without being read aloud.
Can I retake part of a lesson?
Yes. Mark each part as a section and you can jump back to the top of the one you fluffed rather than restarting the recording.
Can I read a script while showing slides?
Yes. Put a screen share behind the script, and you are reading and watching your slides on the same screen.
Is it free for teachers?
The prompter, sections, markup, and presenter notes are free. Recording and screen backgrounds are Pro.
