Teleprompter for Podcasters — Interview Questions, Sponsor Reads, and Show Structure on Screen, Invisible on Camera

Invisible in Riverside, Squadcast, Zencastr, OBS — Every Recording Platform

Whatever you record on, ShareSpeak is invisible to the capture at the OS level. Riverside captures local high-quality video tracks — your script doesn't appear in any of them. Squadcast (Descript), Zencastr, Spotify for Podcasters all record the same way — same result. ShareSpeak isn't in your master tracks.

Also invisible to OBS for live-streamed podcasts, Ecamm Live for Mac-based studios, and StreamYard for browser-based recording. Same story for screen recording during product-related podcast segments — your overlay never makes it into the file.

AI Voice Tracking — For 90-Minute Interviews That Go Anywhere

Podcast interviews don't follow your question list in order. Your guest mentions something fascinating on question 2 that opens up a tangent you both want to follow. You spend 15 minutes there. Now where were you on the prep doc?

ShareSpeak follows your voice. The script keeps up with your natural conversation pace — no remote, no clicking, no breaking flow:

• Guest goes on a tangent? Let them — the prompter waits.
• Want to drill deeper on what they just said? Improvise — pick up your next planned question whenever you're ready.
• Pre-prepared follow-ups for a controversial topic? They're cued up exactly when the topic comes up.
• Recording for 90 minutes? Voice tracking works the whole session — no scroll fatigue, no manual control needed.

Per-Guest Prep — 50 Questions Without Memorizing 50 Questions

Great podcast hosts research their guests deeply. They know the books, the past interviews, the controversial Twitter thread, the personal anecdote from episode 47 of someone else's show. Then they walk into the recording with 50 questions ready but only time for 12 — and they have to pick the right 12 in real-time based on conversation flow.

ShareSpeak makes deep prep usable in the moment:

• Guest bio facts — names of family, hometown, alma mater, current pets, last book they recommended — for natural humanizing references
• Their work, in their words — quotes from their book, their thesis, their recent essay — for "as you wrote in chapter 3..." moments
• Connection threads — links between what they're saying now and what they said in a previous interview
• Topic-specific question banks — 5 angles to drill into each major topic, ready when the conversation enters it
• Hot-button follow-ups — the question their PR team prepped them for that you can ask anyway

The result: interviews that sound effortless and informed, not scripted. Listeners assume you have a photographic memory. Actually you just have ShareSpeak.

Sponsor Reads — Hit the Brand-Approved Copy Word-for-Word

Sponsor reads are where podcaster freedom ends. The brand sent you 120 words of approved copy with specific URL pronunciation, specific offer wording, specific disclaimers. Their compliance team reviews the episode. If you ad-libbed away from the approved copy, they ask for a re-record. If you forget the promo code, the read is invalid and doesn't count toward CPM.

ShareSpeak displays the sponsor copy when you need it:

• Pre-roll sponsor copy at the start of recording
• Mid-roll sponsor copy at the natural break
• Post-roll sponsor copy at the end
• Multiple sponsor reads per episode? Each one ready in sequence
• URL with the affiliate code, promo code, disclaimer — all there exactly as the brand wrote them

You sound like you're talking to a friend about a product you love. The brand sees their exact approved copy delivered cleanly. The promo code is right. The URL is right. The CPM check arrives.

Show Structure on Screen — Never Drop a Segment

Most successful podcasts have structure: cold open, intro, sponsor 1, segment 1, ad break, segment 2, sponsor 2, listener questions, outro. New podcasters skip segments in long recordings. Veteran podcasters built habits but still miss the rare segment in a 3-hour episode.

ShareSpeak holds your show structure:

• Cold open + intro — the recurring hook that sets up the episode
• Sponsor placements — exact spots where to read which sponsor
• Segment transitions — the lines you use to move between topics smoothly
• Recurring bits — the listener-favorite segment you always do but sometimes forget under deadline pressure
• Outro — the call-to-action you want to deliver consistently (subscribe, leave a review, follow on socials)

Your show sounds polished and consistent. Your editor has less cleanup. Your listeners stop noticing the cracks.

Works with Every Remote Recording Stack

Most podcast guests aren't in your studio. ShareSpeak works whatever stack you use to record them:

• Riverside.fm — local high-quality tracks; ShareSpeak invisible in your track and your guest's track
• Squadcast (now Descript) — same setup, same invisibility
• Zencastr — works identically
• Zoom + local recording — common low-budget setup, ShareSpeak invisible to both
• In-studio recording — your laptop open with ShareSpeak running, cameras don't see the screen content

Your guest never sees your script — they see you, asking thoughtful, prepared, conversational questions. They leave the interview impressed with how researched you were.
