Visual Communicator comes with an On-screen teleprompter.
This allows the presenter to speak clearly and confidently without missing
key points or memorizing lines.
With the camera mounted above the computer monitor, It looks like
students are making eye contact with the viewer. It's invaluable for clearly
communicating any message on-camera, as well as for narrating photo slide shows and video montages off-
camera.

Television stations use green-screen effects to put newscasters in front of weather maps and compelling backgrounds.
Visual Communicator allows you to place a colored backdrop behind you so you can digitally replace that background with any image, graphic, or video clip.
