Comparison
Teleprompter vs confidence monitor
Both show a speaker their words. One puts them in front of the camera lens, the other puts them on the floor or lectern.
A teleprompter uses beam splitter glass so text appears directly in front of the camera lens: you look at the audience through the lens. A confidence monitor is a screen placed in front of the speaker, on the stage floor or a lectern, showing notes, slides or the script.
| Teleprompter | Confidence monitor | |
|---|---|---|
| Where text appears | In front of the camera lens | On a screen facing the speaker |
| Best for | Video, broadcast, recorded messages | Live stages, conferences, lectures |
| Eye contact with camera | Direct | Indirect |
| Hardware | Beam splitter glass + screen | Any display |
