I built the teleprompter I wanted before I even owned one.

I'm a computer engineer by degree and an industrial automation engineer by trade. I like building things that work reliably, and I don't like fighting my tools.

When I decided to start creating content, I wanted to streamline the recording process as much as possible. I enjoy building. The content creation workflow is what I want to optimize, not wrestle with. So I started researching teleprompters.

What I found

Video after video, the same complaints: voice sync that barely works, script editors that feel rigid and clunky, chaptering that fights you instead of helping, and software that demands specific GPUs just to scroll text while you talk. Creators were spending more time troubleshooting their teleprompter than actually recording.

I hadn't even bought a prompter yet and I was already annoyed.

So I did what any engineer would do. I opened a code editor and started building.

The approach

I have a bachelor's in computer engineering. I know that voice-following doesn't need a dedicated GPU or a native desktop app. The browser has the Web Speech API. It works on any device with a microphone. No drivers, no installs, no hardware requirements.

I built GoodEvening.tv as a browser-based teleprompter. You open a tab, paste your script, and read. Voice Sync scrolls with your voice. Pause, and it waits. The script editor supports chapters, formatting, and markers, because a teleprompter is only as good as the script you load into it.

Everything runs in the browser. Your scripts stay on your device. No account needed to get started. No credit card. It works offline, on any screen, with any prompter hardware, or no hardware at all.

Why it looks like this

The name came from presidential broadcasts. "Good evening." Two words that mean the cameras are rolling and it's time to talk. If you've ever watched one of those addresses, you can probably guess where the branding came from.

I wanted GoodEvening.tv to feel warm. Not sterile, not corporate, not another flat SaaS page. The retro broadcast aesthetic isn't a gimmick. It's the vibe I want in my own workspace. A tool that feels like settling into a familiar studio, not logging into another productivity app.

That same philosophy carries into the software itself. The goal is elegance without friction. Open it, use it, forget it's there. Your teleprompter should be the last thing on your mind before you hit record.

Where this is going

GoodEvening.tv is a solo project. I'm not trying to build the everything app for creators. I'm building the one tool that does its job so well you never think about it.

The free tier covers everything you need for a solid prompting session. Pro adds voice sync, cloud backup, and remote control for creators who want more. No dark patterns, no surprise charges, no "upgrade to unlock basic features."

If you record video and you've ever wished your teleprompter would just get out of the way, this was built for you.
