    Abstract: The prompting device has a frame, a plurality of reflective panes, and support members and may be used on a desktop by a home or small business user to read a script in a natural manner while speaking to a camera or other video capturing device. In the preferred embodiment, the frame has a user side and a camera side, and is lightweight and readily collapsible such that it may be easily stored when not in use.

The support assemblies are adjustable in height and the panes have an adjustable angle. In another embodiment the support assemblies are hangers.
