Questions about transcripts.
What a transcript is, and how it sits next to the recording.
Can you read a transcript of a video interview answer?
Yes, when transcripts are turned on for that job. Each recorded answer can have its own written transcript next to the video, after processing finishes.
Should you still watch the recording?
You can read, watch, or both. The transcript sits beside the video. It does not replace the recording.
Does a transcript make the hiring decision?
No. It is a written record of what the candidate said. Your team decides who moves forward.
Can transcripts be turned off for a job?
Yes. When transcripts are off, videos for that job are not transcribed.
What if a recording has no speech?
If no speech is detected, the transcript stays empty. You can still watch the video.
