What it costs, and what is free
The browser teleprompter is free: no sign-up, no watermark and no time limit, because it is a tool on a page rather than a trial. The app is free to install, and your first video is free up to three minutes, carrying a small Titro mark that paid plans do not have. After that, plans start at €4.99 a month for 300 minutes of video. The prompter is not a paid add-on at any level: a scripted take uses plan minutes by its length, exactly like a video you upload, and retakes you never upload cost nothing.
Where prompter software fits with prompter hardware
A beam-splitter rig is a piece of glass at 45 degrees in front of the lens with a screen below it, and whatever runs on that screen is the software. The browser prompter is built for that job: turn the mirror switch on so the text reads correctly through the glass, pick the large text size, and set the pace before you are standing in front of the camera. Reading technique — eye line, finding your place again after a stumble — is in the guide on how to read a teleprompter, and how to memorise a script covers the case for using no prompter at all.
Which screen the script should be on
The right screen is the one you can put nearest the lens while still reading it. A phone held at arm’s length keeps your eyes almost dead centre, which is why the app’s panel sits directly under the front camera. A tablet or a laptop gives you a bigger line at the cost of distance, so it suits a rig where the screen is already under the glass, or a desk take where the camera is far enough back that the travel does not show. Whatever the screen, set the text size so a line fits without your eyes crossing the frame: three sizes is usually enough to find one that does.
How long the script should be for the time you have
At a natural 140 to 160 words a minute, a thirty-second take is about 75 words and a minute is about 150 — which is shorter than most first drafts. Write it, read it aloud once against a clock, and cut rather than speed up the scroll, because a prompter set faster than you speak is what makes the eyes chase the line. Short paragraphs scroll better than one block, and a line break where you want to breathe does the pacing for you.
When the subtitle half earns its place
Scripted takes are usually the videos where precision matters: a product explanation, an announcement, an ad, anything with a figure or a name in it. Those are also the videos where platform auto-captions are weakest, because names and technical terms are what they most often get wrong. Titro listens in Albanian, English, German, Italian and French, including sentences that switch language halfway through, so a scripted take in any of them comes back ready — and the subtitles are in the frame, which means a clip reposted from TikTok to Reels still reads. If the take is for YouTube long-form, the .srt export comes from the same project.
