Teleprompting for live speaking is usually where people get up before a large audience and give a speech. These speeches may be televised or filmed, but the speaker is primarily addressing the live audience.

If the speakers are speaking from behind a Lectern we normally use our Podium-Prompts. These are sometimes referred to as "Presidential type" prompters because they are the type seen when the President speaks in public. As seen in the above illustration, this consists of 2 upward facing monitor units with pieces of elevated reflective glass.. To the audience, these appear as simple transparent pieces of glass mounted on slender support rods on either side of the speaker. From the speakers point of view the scrolling script appears superimposed on the glass panels. This allows the speaker to keep their head up and appear to directly address the members of the audience.
