On mobile Chrome in portrait mode at least, you can't hide the toolbar and have the teleprompter play at the same time. Pressing play hides the option to hide the toolbar, and if you hide the toolbar there is no way to hit play. But hiding the toolbar would make the playing teleprompter much more visible

This is cool - I’ll definitely give it a try.

Re the patent of voice control, does it really sound defendable? That sounds a bit too obvious to be patentable at the level of “observe speaker’s speech and adjust text accordingly”, I’d have thought. Maybe they’ve patented a particular technical approach but now there must be dozens of voice to text models that you could leverage in a slightly different way. I’d love to try the result of something like that.

Seems to get a bit funky if I scroll on the screen while it’s playing. It changes the speed permanently until I reset. The speed slider also seems to invert after that??

This is cool, op! I bookmarked it.

Somewhat unrelated comment.

I am sure I will need it sometime in the next 2-3-5 years. What’s anyone’s system for saving / remembering a potentially useful tool exists for an activity you do rarely? Like how would I recall I can use this when I need it in the future if I only do things that may require a teleprompter every once in a few years?

I suppose you need your own "search ritual", i.e. write it down in a note-taking app and make it a life rule to check there first for things, in case Past You already put some thought in it.
