Teleprompter with Live Pace Check
A teleprompter that coaches your pace while you read. Paste your script, set a target speed, and watch your live words-per-minute — too fast, too slow, or just right — as you speak.
In Chrome, live pace tracking uses your microphone and Google's speech service — it only listens while you press Start, and only if you allow it. Other browsers use scroll-only mode.

Live pace
Live speech tracking needs Chrome or Edge and microphone permission; if it is unavailable, the script scrolls at your target pace instead. Related searches: free teleprompter online, voiceover pace checker, speaking speed test, teleprompter app free.
How to use
- Paste your voiceover script in the box and pick a target pace — 130, 150 or 170 words per minute.
- Click Start Reading and read aloud. In Chrome your live pace is tracked from your voice; elsewhere the text scrolls at your target pace.
- Watch the live WPM and the verdict — slow down if it says too fast, speed up if it says too slow.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good speaking pace for a voiceover?
Most voiceovers sound natural at 130–170 words per minute. Documentaries sit near 130, conversational videos near 150, and fast energetic shorts near 170. This free teleprompter lets you practise all three.
Why does it need my microphone in Chrome?
Live pace tracking listens to your voice and counts the words you actually say. That uses Chrome's built-in speech recognition, which sends audio to Google's speech service while you read — only after you press Start and allow it.
What if my browser has no speech recognition?
The tool still works. It falls back to scroll-only mode: the script highlights word by word at your chosen target pace, so you can practise keeping up even without a microphone.
Is my script or voice stored anywhere?
No. Your script stays in your browser, and the audio is only processed while you read. ToolNest stores nothing.
