If English is your second language, the hard part of an interview is rarely the work. It is compressed call audio, an unfamiliar accent, an idiom that lands sideways, and the three seconds you spend reconstructing the question instead of answering it. GhostPilot transcribes the call live in a private side panel, so the question stays on screen and you answer the one that was actually asked.
Free tier: 10 minutes of live interview time a week, no card. Windows desktop app for full-screen share.
Video call audio is compressed, and an interviewer from Glasgow, Chennai or Alabama does not slow down for you. Live transcription puts the wording on screen as it is spoken, and automatic question detection marks where the question started and ended, so you are re-reading one sentence rather than scrolling a wall of text. That is one glance instead of a third "sorry, could you repeat that?", which is what quietly costs you the room.
"Tell me about a time you disagreed with a manager, what you actually did, and what you would do differently." Native speakers stack clauses without noticing. The transcript holds all three parts, and the structured answer arrives about two seconds after the question ends with the parts kept separate, so you do not answer the first one, run out of runway and forget the other two.
You can explain the migration, the pipeline or the campaign perfectly in your first language. Under pressure in a second one, the sentence stalls while you hunt for a word. Behavioural and technical questions are handled differently, so what comes back is shaped like an answer rather than a definition. The reusable answer library lets you write your stock material before the call, in your own phrasing: your introduction, your two strongest projects, your reason for leaving. Under pressure you are picking up your own words.
This is an accessibility tool in the same category as live captions and written notes, not a script. GhostPilot does not speak and does not answer on your behalf. The examples, the judgement and the delivery are yours. What it removes is the penalty for processing a question in your second language while a clock runs.
The accurate version, because a wrong answer here costs you the interview. The Chrome extension lives in the browser side panel: it is not captured when you share a single tab, nor when you share a window with the panel popped out. Like every extension, it is visible if you share your entire screen. The Windows desktop app is different. It excludes its own window at the operating-system level, so it stays out of screen shares, recordings and screenshots, and sits in the taskbar as "GP Helper".
Most interviews are a tab share or a window share, and the extension is fine for those. If your interviews force a full-screen share, the desktop app is the right tool, and the only one we would stand behind.
