Mirror mode
Mirror teleprompter for reflected script setups
A mirror teleprompter is useful when your recording setup relies on camera glass, a reflected display, or a rig that flips the script for the speaker. This page explains when mirrored text helps and how to use it without confusion.
When mirror mode is useful
Mirror mode matters in physical setups where the script needs to be reflected onto a teleprompter glass so you can read the text while facing the camera. If your setup is a direct screen or laptop reading layout, mirror mode is usually not necessary.
This is common for camera rigs, creator desks, and more formal presentation setups where the prompt needs to appear correctly in a reflected surface.
How to avoid common mistakes
The most common issue is turning on mirror mode when reading directly from a normal screen. That makes the text read backwards and can feel confusing. Use mirror mode only when the physical setup is reflection-based.
A quick test on one short line is the easiest way to confirm the setting before recording the full take.
How FreeTeleprompter.in supports this
The app supports mirror mode so you can keep the script comfortable in the right setup. That makes it easier to use the same teleprompter for both direct reading and rig-based recording without changing your entire process.
You can also adjust font size and scroll speed to make mirrored text feel comfortable in longer recordings.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need mirror mode for every teleprompter setup?
No. Mirror mode is only required when your setup depends on reflected text from a teleprompter glass or similar rig.
How do I know if my setup needs mirrored text?
If the script is intended to be seen through a glass reflection, mirrored text is usually the right setting. If you are reading directly from a laptop or phone screen, it usually is not.
