Who it's for

  • Software engineering candidates who want live assistance with coding or system design interview questions.
  • Product management and other candidates who want to configure prompts for behavioral or role-specific interview rounds.
  • Candidates taking interviews through screen-sharing or meeting software listed as compatible on the product page.

Not the right fit if…

  • People using macOS earlier than 13 or Windows earlier than 10: the page lists macOS 13+ and Windows 10+ as requirements.
  • Zoom users on version 6.16 or later who cannot enable “Advanced capture with window filtering”: the page says this setting is required for Zoom.

How it fits your workflow

Download the macOS or Windows app and configure your role, programming language, spoken language, and any additional prompt. The page also describes keyboard shortcuts for showing, hiding, moving, and taking screenshots.

During an interview, TechScreen listens to system audio or reads a typed question and displays suggested answers on your screen. The app window is designed to be excluded from screen capture; the page lists compatibility with several meeting and interview platforms.
