What is it? The Ear-Prompter System combines advanced miniaturized
electronics with the latest communication techniques
to make just about anyone an effective speaker.
Why do I need it? It allows
you to prepare a presentation quickly—usually less
than half a day—without notes, without memorizing,
without wasting time, and best of all, without fear.
With the Ear-Prompter, you can deliver any speech or
any script, no matter how long or technical, word-for-word,
every time.
What can I use it for? You can use it for every facet of public speaking and
acting. It can be used to act in corporate films, on stage,
in soaps, and in feature films. It's also excellent
for giving speeches in foreign languages.
The earprompter is a useful tool for:
Actors
Architects
Attorneys
Designers
Docents
Executives
Ministers
Physicians
Politicians
Professors
Sales People
Trainers
How does it work?
The Ear-Prompter is a four-part system consisting of
a small, enhanced micro recorder, an antennae loop,
an earpiece, and a remote pause button. You record your
speech or script exactly as you want it to sound. The
antenna loop, which you wear under you shirt, plugs
into the recorder and amplifies the signal. The tiny
wireless speaker, which fits snugly and invisibly into
your ear, picks up this signal, so you (and only you)
hear what you have recorded. You then "repeat"
what you are hearing—staying about one-to-two seconds
behind—much as you did as a kid when you mimicked
your friends. The remote pause button, which you can
carry anywhere on your body, allows you to pause the
recorder in order to ad lib or answer questions, and
then to restart it, totally unobtrusively.
How much time would a "first-timer" need to use the device? It would depend, of course, on the basic speaking skills
the first-timer brought to the table, but almost everyone
can use it well by the end of the day. In fact, many
clients use the Ear-Prompter for work the day after the
training...it really is "news you can use".
Is it hard to listen and talk at the same time?
It's actually quite easy. All of us did this as kids,
mimicking our friends, and it came naturally with no
anxiety and no hesitation. Now you can renew this skill,
and become an extraordinarily effective speaker.
Can anyone see the earpiece when I'm using it? Even at close range, people can't see the earpiece because it fits snugly and safely just inside the ear
canal and because it is so small . . . about the size of your fingernail.
Has the system ever failed?
The problems clients have reported were due primarily
to carelessness, so just use commonsense maintenance.
Always check the batteries prior to presentation. As
a backup, we always suggest carrying a hardcopy of the
presentation in your pocket "just in case".
In eighteen years, I've had to use it just once. Our
training goes into great detail on maintaining the equipment
and avoiding any problems. Is there a warranty? The entire package is warranted against defect in normal use for 3 full months. Please read our warranty agreement for full details. What if I am not completely satisfied? Try the complete Instant Memory package for 15 days. If you're not completely satisfied, just return it in good condition and we'll refund your money (less shipping and handling).
Could I deliver a speech in a foreign language? That is done all the time. People have spoken in front of large groups in Spanish, French, Italian and German without knowing those languages. Can I change the inflection, delivery style and speed from the recorded version? Absolutely! The only constant in this system are the
words. You can stop and start the tape anytime, change
speed in mid-presentation, change inflection as you
go, speak authoritatively, humorously, folksy, conversationally,
over-the-top and all from the same recording. Your choices
are unlimited.
