It was being read by the network executives, and operated by TV studio professionals who said to me afterward that it actually was quite a powerful little software package.” QuickSearch I had purchased Prompt Dog for a Fall Program Launch event for one of the big 3 Canadian TV Networks being hosted within our venue…. In PromptDog, you can colorize specific sections of your script for designating different sections for multiple speakers or putting emphasis on specific words. All controls for text size, font, line spacing and inverting text for black-on-white display are easily accessible right on the main page – no hunting for preferences or searching through menus. When you’re on the set, every second counts. (Although if you don’t have a scroll wheel or trackpad, up and down arrow keys work also!). Instead of using noisy keystrokes, PromptDog uses your mouse scroll wheel or laptop trackpad, for very quiet and responsive, easily adjustable scrolling speed. And now, we are offering it to you – for a fraction of the price of competing, inferior solutions.

PromptDog is a software-only teleprompter, designed by, one of the world’s most respected video training companies, for our actual shoots, and tweaked extensively on the set and afterwards until it worked perfectly to our very high standards. We consider this highway robbery, since small LCD monitors can be purchased for under $100, and half-silvered mirrors and boxes are not too expensive. They usually run you more than a thousand dollars (though the expensive ones usually include a small dedicated monitor and/or box with mirror).
