As students at a co-op university, we are constantly stressing about finding a job. There are many great resources out there explaining interview tips and tricks, but rarely do we actually get a chance to practice a full run-through and get the experience of practicing for an interview in real-time with real questions.
Our app uses speech-to-text features to allow users to practice answering random interview questions from a question bank and lets them record their responses and replay it while displaying what a good answer should be.
We built the simulation through Android Studio using Java and XML.
The biggest challenge we faced was our attempt to have our app playback a video response of the user for them to observe their body language in addition to hearing their answers to our questions. However, this was too difficult to accomplish in the time that we had and we scaled back by having our simulator replay the audio recording of the user's answer.
We are very happy to have been able to produce what we have and figure out how to incorporate speech-to-text features to meet our goal of interactiveness with the app.
Our largest takeaway from this challenge was the process to create a running app and working efficiently as a team.
The next steps we would take would be to figure out how to produce a video recording of the user's response which would further enhance the interactiveness and reality features of our app.
