When presentation excellence is paramount, a quality prompting system is indispensible.

A prompter ensures a confident presentation by providing the script to the speaker as its required and ensuring contact is maintained with the audience.

Prompt displays are mounted in front of the presenter to display script on a reflective glass surface fitted to the front of a camera (camera prompter) or an audience (speech prompter). The script is displayed several lines at a time and scrolls vertically like the credits at the end of a movie.

Electronic prompting eliminates the need to memorize a script or prepare cue cards, and greatly improves eye contact between the speaker and the audience. Quality prompters cut video production costs by reducing the number of takes required to produce a professional finished product.

Tekskil designs and manufactures camera and speech prompting equipment which are sold worldwide through selected dealers. Innovative engineering and quality manufacturing has made Tekskil products the leading choice for studios, video production and presentation staging.

Compare features, construction and value with other manufacturers - we're confident Tekskil's quality, ease of use and affordability make our products the choice for your prompting needs.
