Interviewee

Currently only macOS is supported

About the Application

Interviewee is a Java application that uses AI's API to provide audio transcribes, answers to interview questions and translating questions and answers to another language. The application captures audio during interviews, transcribes the conversations, and displays subtitles in real time, using AI's API for Speech-to-Text and Translation services.

Important Notice

Important! Our application does not encourage cheating in interviews or any fraudulent activities. We simply aim to help people be more confident in interviews and avoid silly mistakes.

Sometimes, interviews are conducted by people who are completely incompetent in what they are asking and often read questions from a list that have nothing to do with your field of expertise. Yet you still need to answer these questions to pass the interview, and this is where Interviewee can help you.

Additionally, sometimes you may be interviewed by a foreign company. Even if you're fluent in the foreign language, nerves can cause confusion or make you forget something crucial. Interviewee is here to help you with that.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 21
• OpenAI API Key
• Apache Maven

macOS

First, you need to install Homebrew, a package manager for macOS. You can install it by running the following command in the Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Dependencies and tools:

XCode Command Line Tools    
BlackHole

Install XCode Command Line Tools by running the following command in the Terminal:

xcode-select --install

Install BlackHole, a virtual audio driver that allows you to route audio between applications. You can install it by running the following command in the Terminal:

brew install blackhole-2ch

Install Java 21 and Maven by running the following commands in the Terminal:

brew install openjdk@21

brew install maven

BlackHole configuration

Setup "Multi-Output Device" and set it as a default sound output device for your macOS. Guidelines are available HERE
Speakers audio on macOS will be recorded from the virtual "BlackHole 2ch" microphone. Your and BlackHole microphone device names could be "BlackHole 2ch":

Windows

First, you need to install Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows. You can install it by running the following command in the PowerShell (run as administrator):

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Install Java 21, Maven and Git by running the following commands in the PowerShell (run as administrator)

choco install openjdk

choco install maven

choco install git.install

Linux

git clone https://github.com/Alex777x/interviewee.git

Navigate to the Interviewee folder:

cd interviewee

Run Maven command:

mvn clean install
