With more and more sites getting video crazy, CuePrompter makes it easier for your budding, struggling-with-a-stand-up Web stars to talk to the camera (via eHub). You’ll need a Web connection.

For an offline version, check out Prompt, which is available for Mac and PC.

Update: downloadsquad did a more thorough review of the software here. If you don’t want to follow the link, here’s the graf I found most interesting:

Each prompter session is limited to 2000 characters and requires you to be running MS Internet Explorer 5.0 or above and MS Windows XP, 2000, or 2003 to work properly. We tested it out using Firefox on a Mac and only ran into problems using the mirror and full-screen mode. CuePrompter also seemed to have some minor issue translating apostrophes. One thing that definitely makes CuePrompter different than regular prompters however is you have no way to really control the prompter once its started beyond simple starting and stopping, so once you start CuePrompter you better be ready to go.
