Teleprompter for Windows & Surface.
Most teleprompter apps are iOS or Android only, which leaves Windows users choosing between broadcast software and nothing.

In short
ScrollCue runs in Chrome or Edge on any Windows machine or Surface tablet, with no install and no account. Most teleprompter apps are iOS or Android only and have no Windows version at all.
Windows gets ignored in this category
Look at the popular teleprompter apps and almost all of them are iOS and Android only. PromptSmart has no Windows version. Most of the App Store favourites simply do not exist for you. What is left is broadcast software with a broadcast price.
This is the entire argument for running a teleprompter in a browser. There is no platform to be left out of.
A Surface is a genuinely good prompter
Detachable, touch-driven, and the screen is a decent size. Prop it under a camera, or use it as the display in a tablet-sized beam-splitter rig with mirror mode on. It also makes a good confidence monitor if you are running a stage, since it will happily sit on a stand doing one job for hours.
Free on Windows
- The full prompter in Chrome or Edge
- Scroll-wheel speed control, which desktop users get and phone users do not
- Script markup, sections, presenter notes
- Mirror mode for rigs, and it installs to the taskbar
Pro on Windows
- Camera behind the script and in-browser recording
- OBS chroma key output, since Windows is where most streamers are
- Event Mode, with the desktop as Studio driving stage screens
- Voice Follow
Windows is where OBS lives
If you stream, this matters. ScrollCue opens a chromeless window with just the script over a chroma key colour. Add it in OBS as a Window Capture, key out the green, and the script sits over your scene. No teleprompter app on any platform does this, and it is the reason a lot of Windows streamers end up here.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a teleprompter for Windows?
ScrollCue runs in Chrome or Edge on any Windows machine, free, with no install. Most teleprompter apps are iOS and Android only and have no Windows version.
Does it work on a Surface?
Yes. A Surface makes a good prompter, and also a good confidence monitor if you are running a stage.
Can I use it with OBS?
Yes. ScrollCue opens a chroma key output window you can add as a Window Capture in OBS and key out, which puts the script over your scene.
Do I need broadcast teleprompter software?
Only if you are running a broadcast. For everything else, a browser tool covers it and costs nothing.
