HearQA is an AI copilot that helps you during interviews, exams, and certification tests. It provides real-time transcription, camera capture for on-screen questions, document AI for study materials, and contextual coaching — all running discreetly on your device.

How does HearQA help with interviews?

During interviews, HearQA transcribes questions in real time, analyzes them with AI, and provides suggested answers, talking points, and follow-up strategies. It works with any platform — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or in-person interviews.

Can HearQA help with certification exams?

Yes. You can upload study materials and certification guides as documents. During your exam session, HearQA uses document AI to reference your materials and provide contextual assistance based on the questions you encounter.

Is my audio stored or shared?

No. Audio is processed on your device and never stored or shared. Only the transcription text is used for AI analysis, and you can delete all session data at any time.

What languages are supported?

Eight languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, French, and German. Transcription and AI responses work in all supported languages.

How much does HearQA cost?

HearQA offers a free plan with 3 sessions per month. The Pro plan is $89.99/month (or $599.99/year, saving 44%). There is also a Session Pack for $44.99 — a one-time purchase of 5 sessions in 7 days with no subscription required.

What platforms does HearQA work with?

HearQA works with any audio source — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, phone calls, in-person interviews, lectures, or any conversation. It runs in your browser or as an installed app — on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Can interviewers or proctors detect HearQA?

When you use HearQA on your phone, it runs as a completely separate device. Screen sharing and monitoring software on your computer cannot see or detect it. HearQA captures audio through the microphone and visual content through the camera — no software integration with the meeting platform is needed.

Common Challenges

System design questions are broad and it is difficult to know where to start

Interviewers expect you to discuss trade-offs for decisions you make in real time

Scaling requirements change mid-discussion and you need to adapt quickly

Drawing architecture diagrams while explaining concepts splits your attention

Each company tests different aspects: some focus on API design, others on distributed systems

How HearQA Helps

Architecture Pattern Suggestions

When a system design problem is presented, HearQA suggests relevant architecture patterns, component choices, and a structured approach to walk through the design methodically.

Trade-Off Analysis

As you make design decisions, the AI surfaces relevant trade-offs — consistency vs availability, SQL vs NoSQL, monolith vs microservices — with concise talking points.

Reference Material Integration

Upload your system design study materials — Grokking System Design, DDIA notes, or your own summaries. The AI references these during the interview for specific numbers, patterns, and best practices.

Whiteboard Capture

Use video & camera capture to photograph the whiteboard or shared drawing. The AI analyzes the current diagram and suggests improvements, missing components, or potential bottlenecks.
