Understanding Language Options

Transcription Language

What it does: Sets the language GeekBye listens for during your interviews and meetings.

When to change it: Set this to the language being spoken in your interview. If your interviewer speaks Spanish, set transcription to Spanish for accurate real-time transcription.

Pro tip: English is recommended as default since most technical interviews use English terminology, but switch based on your specific interview context.

Output Language

What it does: Controls the language GeekBye uses when providing AI-powered suggestions and responses.

When to change it: Set this to your preferred language for receiving help. Even if the interview is in English, you might want suggestions in your native language for faster comprehension.

Example: Interview conducted in English, but you want AI suggestions displayed in Japanese for quicker processing.

Best Practices for Multilingual Interviews

Matching Languages

For best results, match your Transcription Language to what's actually being spoken:

• Technical interview in German → Set transcription to German
• Behavioral interview in Japanese → Set transcription to Japanese
• Mixed language interview → Set to the primary language used

Output Language Strategy

Choose your Output Language based on how you process information fastest:

• Native language: Fastest comprehension under pressure
• Interview language: Seamless integration with your responses
• English: Often best for technical terminology

Quick Switching

You can change languages anytime, even during an interview. If your interviewer switches languages mid-conversation, quickly adjust your transcription settings to maintain accuracy.
