  • Patent number: 6280039
    Abstract: A script prompter for attachment to a lens of a camera comprises a two-way mirror having a front surface and a rear surface. A hood is mounted on the rear surface of the mirror and defines with the rear surface a chamber through which light can pass to and from the lens of the camera. A connecting member on the hood connects the script prompt device to the lens of the camera. The script prompter includes a script tray member which is attached to the mirror. The script tray is movable relative to the mirror between an open position where the script tray member is angled with respect to the mirror and a closed position where the script tray member and mirror lie adjacent to each other. In this way, text located on or in the script tray member is reflected in the mirror so as to be visible to a person viewed through the lens.
