Candidates who want to focus on the conversation during job interviews and review a clean text transcript afterward to improve answers, reflect on feedback, and prepare for next rounds.

Which formats can I upload and export?

Do transcripts include timestamps, captions, or speaker labels?

No. InstantTranscriber focuses on clean plain-text output (TXT) without timestamps or captions.

Always follow the law and the organization’s policy. Some places require consent from all parties. When in doubt, ask for permission and explain it's for personal note-taking and improvement.

How should I use the transcript to improve?

Paste your TXT into your notes, highlight strong/weak answers, and optionally ask an LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) for feedback, alternative phrasing, and follow-up questions to practice.

Community Perspectives on Recording Interviews

It’s a debated topic: some candidates record interviews to reflect and avoid misremembering details; others warn about legality and etiquette. If you consider recording, seek consent and follow local law.

Not legal advice: Laws vary (e.g., one- vs two-party consent). When unsure, ask for permission or skip recording.

Example: After-Action Review

🎯 Goal

Find where you rambled, missed the “so what,” or didn’t tie experience to the job description.

⚙️ Process

Transcribe → Paste TXT into notes → Highlight weak answers → Rehearse improved versions using prompts.

✅ Outcome

Sharper stories, cleaner framing, and a stronger next-round performance.

Sample Transcript Snippet- excerpt
