Record an Interview or Exam Prep Session, Get the Transcript and Notes
This recorder captures a job interview, a mock interview, or a practice run for an oral exam, and turns it into a searchable transcript with AI notes. ScreenApp’s meeting bot for Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call and records it, or record straight in the browser for a practice session with no call involved.
1,289 interviews were recorded on ScreenApp in the last 90 days. Reading the transcript afterward lets you check exactly what was asked and how you answered, instead of relying on memory once the call or the practice run ends.
What you get with every recording:
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 100+ languages
- live transcript while recording (beta), so you can follow along as the call happens
- AI notes: a summary of the conversation and the main points each person raised
- Ask AI questions about the recording afterward and get answers that point to the moment it happened
- Export as PDF, Word, or text
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat
Recordings are stored in your account and open on any device where you sign in.
How to Record an Interview or Exam Prep Session
- Start recording: Add the meeting bot to your video call, use the Chrome extension to capture the tab and your microphone, or record straight in the browser for a solo practice run.
- Let it run: Recording continues until you stop it. If you already have a recording from another app, upload it instead, or import it from a link.
- Read the notes afterward: The transcript and AI notes are ready a few minutes after you stop. Search for a question, jump to a timestamp, or ask the AI what was covered.
Accuracy depends on the audio. A clear microphone close to the speaker works well; a call with cross-talk or a noisy room will have gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses an Interview and Exam Prep Recorder
Job seekers record a practice interview with a friend or a career coach, then read the transcript to spot filler words, weak answers, and questions they need to prepare better for.
Students preparing for an oral exam or a viva record a practice run out loud, then check the transcript against the mark scheme or the questions their tutor gave them, instead of trying to remember what they said.
Recruiters and hiring managers record candidate interviews with the meeting bot to keep accurate notes, instead of writing everything down while trying to listen.
Career coaches record client mock interviews and send back the transcript with timestamps, so the client can review specific answers instead of the whole session again.
People interviewing or testing in a second language read the transcript alongside the recording to check pronunciation and word choice afterward.
Panel interview teams record a shared session so every panellist can review the same transcript afterward instead of comparing separate handwritten notes.
