On a computer, Parrot Teleprompter for Windows PC keeps your script in one stable location while you manage other production tasks (checking notes, adjusting camera settings, or monitoring playback) all from the same desk setup.

Text sizing and color adjustments help you read comfortably regardless of your filming environment. When installed on a computer, these controls are accessible via keyboard and mouse, making real-time tweaks during a shoot or rehearsal faster than tapping a phone screen.
