A fixed-speed prompter makes the speaker serve the clock: too fast and they rush, too slow and they wait. A voice-controlled one matches recognised speech against the script, so it keeps up when the speaker speeds up, holds when they pause for breath, and moves back when they repeat a line to fix a stumble. The hard part is not following — it is noticing that following has failed, and saying so.
Concept
