A '''teleprompter''' is an [[electronic]] imaging system that enables speakers and newscasters to look into the [[television]] camera (or at a live audience) and read the text of prepared remarks without the viewers realizing it. It operates like a one-way mirror, with the reflection of text scrolling on the screen for the speaker and the viewers seeing through the text like a transparent mirror.
It was first popularized by former President [[Herbert Hoover]] at a [[Republican]] national convention, when he gave the secret away by complaining to a national audience that the teleprompter needed to restart the scrolling of the text after he paused to improvise.
