Your AI interviewer now speaks
AI interviews now read each question aloud in a natural voice, for a warmer, more human, more accessible conversation — with a one-tap mute.
June 16, 2026 · 3 min read
A great interview is a conversation, not a form. So we gave the AI interviewer a voice: it now reads each question aloud in a natural tone, as well as showing it on screen.
Why a voice matters
Reading questions off a screen in silence feels like an exam. Hearing them spoken sets a natural rhythm, helps you process the question, and makes the whole experience calmer — especially for anyone who finds dense text harder to scan. It's a small thing that makes a real difference to how candidates feel.
You're in control
Prefer silence? Mute it in one tap. Missed a question? Replay it. The question always stays on screen, and you answer out loud (or by typing) exactly as before — with a chance to fix the transcript so a mishearing never counts against you.
Still appearance-blind by design
The voice is the interviewer's, not a camera on you. We deliberately don't do video — your appearance never factors into hiring. A spoken question plus your words is the experience: human, but fair.
Frequently asked
Does the AI interview talk now?
Yes. Each question is read aloud in a natural voice as well as shown on screen, so the interview feels more like a real conversation.
Can I turn the voice off?
Yes — there's a one-tap mute, and you can replay any question. Questions always stay visible on screen as well.
Do I still answer out loud?
Yes. You answer by voice (or type), exactly as before — your spoken answer is transcribed and you can correct it before it's submitted.
