Languages & Translation

Input Language is the language spoken by the interviewer.

Translation Language optionally shows a translated version beside the original. Choose None if you do not need translation.

Answer Language controls the language used for AI Answers, including explanations and comments in the Coding Interview workspace. The programming language still follows the problem’s requirements.

Outside Coding Interview, Original and Translation appear side by side for interviewer captions and AI Answers when Translation is enabled. With Translation set to None, the conversation uses a single-column view. Coding Interview always keeps the conversation on the left and the coding workspace on the right.

Choose a fixed Input Language or Auto Detect / Multilingual; Phone Interview requires a fixed Input Language. Available fixed languages depend on your Mac. Translation runs on your Mac and may require a language download; some language pairs and multilingual source languages are not supported. Translation is not available in Coding Interview.

Audio Test

Audio Test shows your current audio permission status; it does not play or record a test sample. Run a short practice session to check captions before your interview. In a regular Copilot session, interviewer audio comes from your Mac’s system audio and your voice from the microphone.

For Phone Interview, set up your Voice Profile before first use so Copilot can distinguish your voice from the interviewer. Phone Interview captures both voices through the Mac microphone rather than system audio.

AI Answer Model

Choose the model used to generate live AI Answers. Copilot only lists models tested for strong accuracy and low latency. Your choice locks when the session starts.

Copilot Mode

Choose how AI Answers are generated:

  • Auto Mode — Copilot listens to the interview, detects questions from the conversation, and automatically generates an answer when appropriate.
  • Manual Mode — Copilot generates an answer only when you select Answer or use the shortcut ⌥X.

Manual Mode is useful when you only want help with specific questions and prefer fewer AI Answers during the interview.

Interview Report Generation

This single setting controls reports for both live Copilot and Mock Interview and is on by default. Its value when you end the session determines whether a report is requested.

The report includes an overall score, score breakdown in five key dimensions, plus every interview question, your answer, question-level feedback, and suggestions for improvement. You can also review the Original Transcription.

If turned off, no evaluation report is generated, but the session and Original Transcription are still saved in History.

Your report appears in History when generation is complete. Your saved session and transcript remain available while it is being prepared.
