How Speech Prompter works

The Speech Prompter is a speech device that projects text onto an LCD screen at the bottom of the Prompter. The half-mirror is made of specially coated glass, so that the audience cannot see the manuscript reflected in the mirror. It is widely used for shareholder meetings, financial reports, political press conferences, lectures, seminars, company events such as initiation ceremonies, and various other ceremonies.
Half mirror is made of specially coated glass, so that the photographer cannot see the manuscript reflected in the mirror from the photographer's side. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including studio shooting, interview filming, commercial filming, and concert filming.

How to display the manuscript

Scrolling display with Software

The most common display method: white text (or yellow text) on a black background on Software. The most common method of display is to scroll the manuscript in the software with white text (or yellow text) on a black background. Depending on the software, it is often imported in "text document (.txt)" or "rich text (.rtf)" format. Operators can be dispatched by our company.

View PowerPoint, Word, and PDF files

It is very easy to operate compared to using Software. This method is recommended for first-time Prompter users, those who rent a Prompter for immediate use, and those with limited preparation time. Some types of Prompter cannot be used in this way because they use software to invert the screen, but all of our Prompter monitors have an invert function, so they can be used to project a variety of materials. However, all of our Prompter monitors are equipped with an invert function, allowing for the projection of a variety of materials.

Display from video equipment such as a video camera

All of our Prompter monitors are equipped with an invert function, so they can be used to display from a variety of video devices, including video cameras. In particular, a video camera is often used during the Q&A session of a general shareholders' meeting, as it allows for the immediate display of urgent instructions and anticipated questions and answers, depending on the situation.

Occasions and Uses

  • General meeting of shareholders, financial results briefing (financial results reporting meeting)
    • At shareholder meetings, it is necessary to accurately deliver lengthy speeches and detailed numerical information, but if you speak while looking at a paper manuscript or a monitor, your face will look down many times. With the Speech Prompter, you can look out at the shareholders and speak with confidence while reading from the Speech Prompter on either side of you.
  • Press conference
    • Speech Prompter is used in press conferences of politicians, such as prime ministers and governors, and is also used in press conferences of presidents and prime ministers in Japan and abroad. In the case of an emergency press conference, there is little time for preparation, and a Speech Prompter is required to deliver accurate, persuasive, and relevant information to the audience.
  • Company events, entrance ceremonies, weddings, academic conferences, and all other ceremonies
    • The single transparent board of the Speech Prompter makes a stylish impression and can be used for all ceremonial and official occasions.
  • Speeches and presentations in English and other foreign languages
    • If you are giving a speech in a foreign language, such as English, you may be even more nervous than usual, forgetting what you are going to say or spending more time looking at a paper manuscript; use Speech Prompter to make your speech or presentation more confident.

Advantages of using Speech Prompter

There are many advantages to using Speech Prompter.
  • Prevent mistakes and reduce the burden of remembering what to say
    • By displaying the entire manuscript and dialogues with Speech Prompter, the burden on the speaker is reduced because he/she can speak without having to memorize the content of what he/she is going to say and without making mistakes. It is especially suitable for people who get nervous when speaking in front of others, in situations where numerical information must be accurately presented without mistakes, such as at shareholder meetings and financial results briefings, and when giving speeches in foreign languages such as English. By reducing the burden of remembering what to say, you can pay more attention to your facial expressions and speaking style.
  • Easy and accurate time keeping for speeches
    • By reducing the burden on the speaker, more attention can be paid to speech time keeping. In addition, when the manuscript is displayed scrolling with Software, it can be scrolled at preset times, making time keeping easier and more accurate.
  • Can speak to an audience as if speaking to them
    • By looking at the two Speech Prompters on either side of the speaker, you can always see and speak to the entire audience. Use the Speech Prompter to deliver your speech with authority and intonation.
  • Allows the audience to focus on the speaker
    • From the speaker's side, the Speech Prompter projects the text, but from the audience's side, no text is projected. It is thought that the audience will be more likely to listen to what is said by having the speaker look at them and speak without being aware of the text.
