Display Configuration Guide

Learn how to configure and setup Interview Mentor for optimal display functionality

Initial Setup Phase

Before starting your interview or meeting, follow these steps to properly configure the Interview Mentor display:

Select Your Preferred Language

Use your mouse to select the programming language you'll be working with (e.g., Python, SQL, JavaScript, etc.)

Resize the Window

Use your mouse to resize the window to your preferred dimensions. Make sure the window is wide enough to display full messages on the title bar.

Position the Window

Move the window to your preferred location on the screen. For optimal visibility during interviews, we recommend positioning it in the lower half of your window.

Enable Audio Transcription (Gold members only)

Press Alt+e to start the audio transcription process. Wait until the title bar shows "Transcription ON".

Note: This feature is available exclusively for Gold members.

Lock the Window

You MUST press Alt+l to lock the window for better security. After locking:

  • You can no longer change the language or resize the window
  • Your mouse will "click through" the window (meaning the window becomes invisible to mouse clicks)
  • You can still use Alt+Arrow keys to move the window as needed

Meeting Mode

Once your window is configured and locked, you're in "meeting mode" where other parties cannot see the Interview Mentor window during screen sharing.

Audio Transcription Functionality

When transcription service is ON, any speech from the other party will automatically appear in the mentor window.

As the conversation continues and text reaches 90% of the visible window, transcripts will automatically scroll up to show new text on top. This means the window is in auto-scroll mode.

Screenshot Capture (Gold members)

When you press Alt+q, Interview Mentor will:

  • Take a screenshot and send it to our secure server
  • Process the image through advanced AI
  • Display the response at the top of your mentor window
  • Automatically scroll to show the top content

Conversation Analysis

When you press Alt+Enter, Interview Mentor will:

  • Send all conversation transcripts to our server
  • Process the conversation through AI
  • Display the response at the top of your mentor window
  • Automatically scroll to show the top content

Content Organization

The Interview Mentor window organizes content in the following way:

  • Most recent results (either from screenshots or transcripts) appear at the top
  • Other results stay in the middle
  • Audio transcripts always stay at the bottom

Audio transcripts have two parts:

  • Finalized sentences: Complete transcriptions that remain unchanged
  • Live transcripts: Current transcriptions that may change as speech recognition processes

New audio and live transcripts make incremental changes rather than triggering a full window content redraw, ensuring a smooth experience.
