  • Getting started

An AI interview assistant listens during a live interview, transcribes what is said, detects interviewer questions, and helps you respond with structured suggestions grounded in your resume and job context. It is not a replacement for your experience — it is a real-time copilot that reduces blank moments and keeps answers aligned with the role.

How a live interview copilot works

Most interview assistants follow the same loop: capture audio, convert speech to text, identify when the interviewer asks a question, and generate an answer suggestion using your background materials. Transcripta adds a desktop overlay so you can review transcript, detected questions, and answer drafts without constantly switching windows.

  • Listen — microphone and system audio capture during the call.
  • Transcribe — live transcript with speaker-aware context where supported.
  • Detect questions — separate interviewer prompts from filler speech.
  • Suggest answers — use resume, job description, and recent transcript context.

Interview assistant vs mock interview app

Mock interview tools help you practice before the call. A live interview copilot supports you during the actual conversation. The best preparation stack uses both: mock sessions to build muscle memory, then a copilot for real-time structure when nerves or unexpected questions appear.

Responsible use matters

Always follow employer rules, platform terms, and local recording laws. If an interview requires disclosure or prohibits certain tools, do not use an assistant in that session. Transcripta is designed for workflows where live transcription and personal productivity aids are permitted.
