Acoustical prompter is an device, allowing to announcer or presenter to listen and simultaneously to pronounce the text, recorded on pocket audio recorder preliminarily.

The acoustical prompter becomes the popular alternative for the text prompter and comes to change the complex process of the text memorization for pronouncing of long monologue.

Regardless of that, for what aim (video shooting or alive appearance) the use of the prompter is expected, it is appeared the possibility to pronounce the long speech, not remembering them and without using of visible notes. As a result it is possible to make some impression on TV viewers, practically continuously speak with them, looking in their eyes and herewith not losing and not forgetting the text.

ART-9 teleprompter in a case

The text is preliminarily written on tiny digital pocket audio recorder, and in operation the text is reproduced, and announcer repeats all that he hears in earphone, but with small delay, imperceptible for spectator or listener.

Weight of the device does not exceed 35 g, but the receiver weight (without element of the power supply) is not more than 1.5 g.
