teleprónter; teleapuntador; autocue: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la palabra "teleprónter", con tilde en la o por tratarse de una voz llana terminada en consonante distinta de n o s, es una adaptación válida al español del anglicismo "teleprompter", frecuente en las informaciones sobre televisión y espectáculos. [...] También se conoce como "autocue", por el nombre [del] fabricante [...] Si se usa ese nombre para aludir a la marca concreta, lo adecuado es escribirlo con inicial mayúscula y en redonda por tratarse de un nombre propio [...] Su plural es "teleprónteres". También es posible optar por la variante "teleapuntador". 1, record 1, Spanish, - telepr%C3%B3nter
