A device that displays a speaker's script on a screen, allowing them to read prepared words while appearing to speak naturally to an audience.
A blend of 'tele-' (far, television) and 'prompter' (one who prompts/reminds). It was invented in the 1950s for television broadcasting.
The teleprompter revolutionized TV because it let politicians, news anchors, and performers read scripts while maintaining eye contact with cameras—it's why smooth-talking TV personalities seem to speak without notes.
