===Television=== [[File:Teleprompter 3716.JPG|thumb|Studio camera with Autoscript teleprompter]] Modern teleprompters for news programs consist of a [[personal computer]], connected to [[video monitor]]s on each [[professional video camera]]. In certain systems, the PC connects to a separate display device to offer greater flexibility in setup, distances, and cabling. The monitors are often black-and-white and have the scanning reversed to compensate for the reflection of the [[mirror]]. A peripheral device attached has a knob that can be turned to speed up, slow down, or even reverse the scrolling of the text. The text is usually displayed in white letters on a black background for the best readability, while cues are in inverse video ([[light-on-dark color scheme|black on white]]). Difficult words (mainly international names) are spelled out [[phonetic]]ally,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/|title=Reuters | Breaking International News & Views|website=Reuters}}</ref> as are other particulars like "Nine-eleven" (to specify that the event [[September 11 attacks|9/11]] should not be pronounced "[[9-1-1|nine-one-one]]", for example). With the development of inexpensive teleprompter [[software application]]s as well as free Web-based teleprompter applets, many different disciplines are now using teleprompters to help them deliver sermons, deliver speeches, and create quality audio recordings. Unlike their more advanced counterparts, these entry-level products work on desktop computers, laptop computers, and even tablet computers to enable the speaker to control the rate and flow of their speech. They are also used by many different organizations and schools to deliver prewritten information by relative novices. They are usually called "personal teleprompters".
