Real Teleprompter for OBS Studio — Native AI Overlay, No Plugin Required
OBS Studio is the best free streaming and recording software. It doesn't ship a teleprompter, and the plugins built around it — Browser Source hacks, text-source scrollers, third-party panels — all have the same problem: they break with OBS updates, demand setup time, and offer no voice tracking. ShareSpeak is a native desktop overlay that sits on top of OBS, invisible to capture, voice-tracked to your speech. $12.50 once.
Why Every "OBS Teleprompter" Solution Is a Workaround
OBS Studio is the dominant free streaming platform — Twitch streamers, YouTube creators, podcasters, VTubers, educators all run on it. It doesn't have a built-in teleprompter, so the OBS community built solutions on top. None of them are great:
- Browser Source pointed at a web teleprompter — works, but the teleprompter becomes part of your scene. Hide it from the output and you can't see it either. Show it and viewers see it. Awkward middle ground.
- Text Source with auto-scroll plugin — a static OBS source with a scrolling plugin attached. Fixed-speed scroll. No voice tracking. Manual control. Renders unevenly across resolutions.
- Third-party OBS plugins (ObsPrompter, etc.) — install a plugin, configure it, hope it survives the next OBS Studio update. OBS plugins frequently break when OBS releases a new version, leaving you mid-stream with a broken setup.
- Second monitor with a notes doc — your eyes drift sideways constantly. Every stream regular notices.
- Phone propped next to the monitor — visible eye darts. Mid-stream phone distractions. Your camera frames you looking down a lot.
- Read from a paper script — paper rustling on the mic, head down, looking unprepared.
ShareSpeak is a native desktop overlay that sits on top of OBS — not as an OBS source, not as a plugin, not as a Browser Source. The script is on your screen for you, invisible to OBS's screen and window capture. Voice-tracked to your pace, no manual scrolling, no fixed speed, no version compatibility risk.
Built to Complement the OBS Streaming Workflow
Native Overlay, Not an OBS Plugin or Source
ShareSpeak doesn't live inside OBS. It's not a Browser Source you have to position. It's not a plugin you install through OBS Studio. It's not a scene element you have to remember to hide before going live. It's a standalone desktop application that runs alongside OBS, invisible to OBS's screen and window capture at the OS level.
Why this matters:
- No plugin install — your OBS install stays untouched
- No version compatibility risk — OBS releases a new version, ShareSpeak keeps working because it isn't tied to OBS
- No scene cleanup — you don't have to hide/show the teleprompter in each scene
- No conflicts with other plugins — runs independent of NDI, StreamFX, Move plugin, advanced scene switcher, etc.
- Works with Streamlabs OBS too — same approach, same independence
AI Voice Tracking — None of the OBS Teleprompter Plugins Have This
Every OBS teleprompter plugin or workaround uses fixed-speed scrolling. You set a speed before the stream and have to match it forever — even for a 4-hour live show. Speed up to read through a tangent and you fall behind. Slow down for emphasis and the text outpaces you.
ShareSpeak follows your voice with AI speech recognition. The script moves at your natural pace, no remote, no scroll wheel:
- Reading chat between scripted segments? Pause — the prompter waits.
- Game commentary speeding up during action? Talk fast — the text keeps up.
- Long sponsor read for a brand integration? Read at the brand-approved cadence — the script matches.
- 4-hour live podcast? Voice tracking holds across the whole stream — no scroll fatigue.
Works Across All OBS Scenes — No Per-Scene Configuration
Streamers build OBS layouts with multiple scenes: starting soon, intro, just chatting, gameplay, BRB, ending soon. With a Browser Source teleprompter, you have to either add it to every scene or accept that the prompter disappears when you switch scenes.
ShareSpeak doesn't care about OBS scenes. It's an overlay on your screen — your script is visible to you regardless of which scene is active in OBS. Scene transitions don't affect it. Scene-switcher automation doesn't affect it. The teleprompter is on you, not on OBS.
Multi-Monitor and Multi-Source Streaming Setups
OBS pros run multi-monitor rigs: game on monitor 1, chat on monitor 2, OBS preview on monitor 3. ShareSpeak places your script on whichever monitor you want. Position it near your camera for natural eye contact. Move it to a side monitor for long-form content. The OS-level invisibility means it's never in any monitor's captured output regardless of where you place it.
Multi-source streamers — display capture, window capture, game capture, NDI source, virtual camera — all of these capture methods stay clean. ShareSpeak is excluded from each one.
Long-Form Stream Support — 4-Hour Sessions Without Script Fatigue
Most OBS streams are long. Twitch streams average 2-4 hours. Subathons run 12+. Long-form podcast streams hit 90-180 minutes regularly. None of the fixed-speed OBS teleprompter plugins are usable for that duration — speed mismatches compound, the script drifts out of sync, you abandon it 30 minutes in.
ShareSpeak's voice tracking is built for long-form. It uses on-device speech recognition (no cloud, no rate limits) and runs efficiently:
- Low CPU footprint — runs alongside OBS encoding without performance hit
- Unlimited script size — paste 30,000-50,000 character session prep, no character cap
- Section structure — intro, segments, sponsor breaks, outro all sequenced
- Per-session scripts — different prep for different stream types, load before going live
Works with Streamlabs, Twitch Studio, and Every Other Streaming Tool
Same OS-level invisibility approach works for every streaming tool:
- OBS Studio (open-source, native) — primary use case
- Streamlabs Desktop (OBS fork) — same invisibility
- Twitch Studio — works the same way
- Ecamm Live (Mac) — invisible to all Ecamm captures
- vMix (Windows pro broadcasting) — same overlay behavior
- Browser-based streamers — StreamYard, Restream, Loom — same OS-level invisibility

Why $12.50 Beats the OBS Plugin Ecosystem
The OBS plugin ecosystem is mostly free, which is the great strength of open-source. But "free" plugin teleprompter solutions carry hidden costs:
Browser Source teleprompter setup: 30-60 min per stream layout
Plugin debugging after OBS updates: 1-3 hours every major version (every ~6 months)
Per-scene teleprompter configuration: tedious for 6+ scene layouts
Voice tracking equivalent: not available in any free OBS plugin
ShareSpeak: $12.50, one-time, no setup, no plugin maintenance
Most streamers will save more than $12.50 worth of time in the first month — and never lose another stream to a broken plugin.
Compare to paid alternatives streamers consider: Elgato Prompter at $299 hardware, StreamYard Core at $44.99/month, or VODIUM at $15/month. ShareSpeak is the lowest cost option with the strongest feature set for OBS specifically.
Native on Mac, Windows, and Linux — Wherever OBS Runs
OBS Studio is cross-platform. ShareSpeak matches that — native macOS, Windows, and Linux builds. Same feature set, same invisibility behavior on every platform.
$12.50 once per streamer. Same license follows you wherever OBS does.
The Teleprompter OBS Should Have Shipped Native
Download ShareSpeak before your next stream. Paste your show prep, your sponsor reads, your segment structure. Stream the session with the prep of a 10-year veteran. $12.50 — cheaper than the time you've spent debugging plugin compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions from OBS Streamers
Will ShareSpeak appear in my OBS stream output?
No. ShareSpeak is invisible at the OS level — OBS's display capture, window capture, and game capture all skip it. Your stream output to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, custom RTMP destinations contains only what OBS legitimately captured. No teleprompter on screen for viewers.
Is this an OBS plugin?
No. ShareSpeak is a completely separate desktop application. No plugin install, no OBS configuration changes, no scene sources to add or hide. It runs alongside OBS. When OBS ships a new version (and OBS releases frequently), ShareSpeak keeps working because it isn't tied to OBS at all.
Does it work with Streamlabs Desktop (the OBS fork)?
Yes. Streamlabs Desktop is OBS under the hood with their own UI and integrations. ShareSpeak's OS-level invisibility works identically with Streamlabs Desktop. Same applies to Twitch Studio, OBS forks, and any other screen-capture-based streaming app.
Does ShareSpeak's voice tracking conflict with game audio or stream audio?
No. ShareSpeak listens to your microphone, not your system audio. Game audio, stream alerts, music, voice chat — none of these get picked up by ShareSpeak's voice tracking. It tracks only your spoken words. You can have game audio loud, alerts playing, voice chat active — ShareSpeak only responds to your microphone.
Works with multi-scene OBS layouts and scene switching?
Yes — and it works better than any OBS plugin solution because it doesn't live inside OBS. Switch scenes freely, use advanced scene switcher automation, hotkey transitions — ShareSpeak stays exactly where you placed it on your screen, voice-tracked to your delivery, invisible to whatever scene OBS is currently outputting.
Compatible with VTuber setups (Live2D, VRoid, etc.)?
Yes. VTubers using OBS with a Live2D, VRoid Studio, Vtube Studio, or Veadotube avatar — ShareSpeak runs separately on your screen. The avatar shows in your stream output; the teleprompter is on your monitor for you only. Voice tracking still works through your microphone (separate from the avatar's voice mapping).
Why pay $12.50 when OBS is free and there are free teleprompter plugins?
Because no free OBS teleprompter plugin has AI voice tracking. Free Browser Source workarounds need 30-60 minutes of setup per stream layout and have to be hidden in OBS. Free text-source scrollers use fixed speeds and break on OBS updates. ShareSpeak's $12.50 is a one-time cost to skip all that friction and get voice-tracked teleprompter that actually works for live streaming.
Can my entire production team use it? (Streamer + producer + camera op)?
Each person buys their own license — $12.50 each. For a 3-person stream production, $37.50 total, forever. Your on-camera streamer runs ShareSpeak with the script; producer and camera ops don't need it (they're not the ones reading). No team licensing complexity, no per-stream fees.
No Plugins. No Browser Sources. Just a Real Teleprompter for OBS.
Voice-tracked AI. Native overlay. Invisible to OBS capture. Works across every scene, every stream, every update. $12.50. Forever.
