How to Transcribe Your Interviews in Real-Time

You're in the middle of a technical interview. The interviewer asks a multi-part question about system design.

While you're processing the first part, they're already on the third.

You try to answer, but half of what they said is already gone from your memory.

Sound familiar?

This is the hidden challenge of interviews. It's not just about knowing the answers. It's about catching every question in the first place.

The Problem with Taking Notes

Some people try taking notes during interviews. It rarely works.

Here's why:

• You can't write and think at the same time. Your brain switches between tasks, missing details in both.
• You miss the nuance. The exact words matter. "Tell me about a time when..." is different from "How would you handle..."
• Post-interview recall is unreliable. An hour later, you can't remember if they asked about scalability or reliability.

You need a record of exactly what was said. Both what they asked and how you answered.

How Listen Works

GeekBye's Listen feature solves this completely.

Click the Listen button. That's it.

GeekBye starts capturing two audio streams simultaneously:

1. Your microphone - everything you say
2. System audio - everything the interviewer says

The transcript appears in real-time as people speak. Your words on one side. Their words on the other.

No fumbling with recording software. No asking "can you repeat that?" No mental energy spent on remembering.

You focus on the conversation. GeekBye handles the rest.

What Happens After the Interview

When the session ends, the real magic happens.

GeekBye's AI analyzes your entire transcript and generates:

• Summary - A concise overview of what was discussed
• Key Points - The most important topics covered
• Action Items - Tasks or follow-ups mentioned during the call

You get a complete picture of the interview. What questions were asked. How you answered. What you could improve next time.

It's like having a personal interview coach reviewing every session.

Works with Any Video Call

Listen works everywhere:

• Zoom
• Google Meet
• Microsoft Teams
• Any video conferencing platform

If audio plays on your computer, GeekBye can transcribe it.

This means it works for phone screens, technical interviews, behavioral interviews, and even practice sessions with friends.

Your Data Stays Private

Here's something important: your transcripts never leave your computer.

All session data is stored locally on your device. Not on cloud servers. Not shared with anyone.

You own your interview history completely. Review it anytime. Delete it when you want.

Privacy isn't an afterthought. It's built into how Listen works.

Stop Trying to Remember Everything

Interviews are stressful enough without the mental overhead of trying to remember every question.

With Listen, you can:

• Focus entirely on the conversation
• Review exactly what was asked afterward
• Learn from every interview experience
• Spot patterns in how you answer

The best interviewers aren't the ones with perfect memory. They're the ones who can think clearly because they're not worried about forgetting.
