Teleprompters are not just for news anchors. They're nice for screencasters too! When making polished screencasts, teleprompters can make your projects go faster, sound better, run smoother and you don't run the risk of having rustling paper scripts mess up your audio.

Traditional teleprompters can cost thousands of dollars, but I found a free teleprompter that's available online called CuePrompter.com. It's simple to use - you just cut and paste your script and off you go! And, there's no software to install.

Here's a quick little Jingcast of the teleprompter in action. As many of you know, I am a hockey fan. And, since I'm not working on a script right now, I used some of my favorite quotes from "The Great One", hockey player Wayne Gretzky, as my script. :-)

And, don't forget about Max Rottersman - he made a teleprompter using SnagIt and some CD cases! You can read about him here. Have you found any tools that make video making easier with Camtasia Studio or Jing?
