QPrompt
QPrompt is a free, open-source teleprompter app for event operators and video creators working alone or in small teams. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android under the GNU General Public License v3, with no charge for commercial use. An adjustable reading area helps keep eyes toward the camera, while an opacity slider makes the background semi-transparent for video calls or other applications behind the script. The rich-text editor opens and copies formatted text from office suites, and LibreOffice can open additional formats in the background. Markers jump to script positions; a chronometer times scripts and estimates completion. Keyboard shortcuts work with presentation clickers and Contour Shuttle Controllers, and KDE Connect presentation mode can control scrolling from a phone. OpenDyslexic, horizontal guides, right-to-left support, and fonts for more than 180 languages address varied readers. Multiple screens are supported, except in the Snap build.
