ABOUT US

SpeakEasy Prompters Inc. was established in 1989 by its current President & CEO, Karen Ultee.  Today, the company is still headquartered in Dallas, Texas, but the scope of its work is international.  Big or small – Paris, Texas or Paris, France – we put our 20 years of experience to work for our clients in order to get the job done right. Here’s what you can expect from us.

Experience

We have 20 years in the business, delivering service that’s second to none.  Tried and true equipment packages utilizing proven innovations to get the job done right.  The breadth of our clientele is extensive:  from U.S. presidents and senators, to movie stars and sports heroes, to executives from the world’s largest corporations, to hometown business owners and everyday citizens.  When it comes to using a teleprompter, we make the process easy.

Top-of-the-line Software and Hardware

Ours is often referred to as “the Cadillac of the Industry.”  From its design to its utility, our prompters deliver the most reliable components and universal mounting solutions.  The best hi-res lightweight, multiple input monitors on the market, the highest quality glass (¼ to ½ stop), and the best professional software running on dedicated business class computers.

Professional, Dependable Operators

Personable, competent, and lightning fast, our operators are yet another reason for our loyal client following.  But what differentiates our operators is the consistent quality you’ll find throughout our team of prompter experts.  Our clients have told us, “It doesn’t matter who you send – we know anyone from SpeakEasy will be great!”  We couldn’t agree more. Our operators bring valuable experience and knowledge to the job.  Some have journalism, communications, and media degrees, some bring major market TV news experience, and some have impressive executive assistant credentials.  We find the best, train them thoroughly, and retain only those who can consistently deliver on our high standards.

Value

Our reputation for high quality and unsurpassed reliability speaks for itself – and delivering this class of service at great rates is how we provide the best value to our clients.  We also offer half-day rates for video & film productions as yet another way to deliver value.
