What gives away that someone is reading from a teleprompter?
by•
I'm launching Orate here on 29 September. It's a phone teleprompter, and I built it around one thing I kept noticing: in most teleprompter videos you can tell the person is reading. Their eyes drift down the screen and snap back at the end of each line.
Orate keeps the script in a narrow band right under the front camera, so your eyes barely move from the lens. It also keeps your take if the app dies mid-recording.
Before launch I'd like to hear from people who record to camera:
What gives it away for you when someone is reading?
Have you ever lost a take to a crash or a phone call, and what did you do about it?
Do you rehearse the script first, or read it cold?
I'll read every reply, and anything useful goes into the app.
