Interview transcription software that works automatically
Every video interview on CandidReel is automatically transcribed by AI. Search transcripts, read summaries, and review candidates in 2 minutes — without watching a single video.
Stop watching videos. Start reading transcripts.
Watching every candidate video end-to-end doesn't scale. When you have 50 applicants for a single role, that's hours of video to review. Interview transcription software changes the equation — you scan text instead of scrubbing through recordings.
CandidReel transcribes every async video interview and live video interview automatically. No buttons to click, no third-party tools to connect. Record or complete an interview, and the transcript appears within minutes.
How AI interview transcription works
1. Candidate records or joins a video interview
Candidates record async responses on their own schedule, or join a live video interview with your team. No app downloads required — everything runs in the browser on any device.
2. AI transcribes the full recording
As soon as the recording completes, CandidReel's AI processes the audio and generates a word-for-word transcript with timestamps. For live interviews with multiple participants, speaker labels are included automatically.
3. AI summarizes and scores each response
Beyond raw transcription, the AI scoring engine reads the transcript and produces a concise summary of each answer, plus a structured score based on your evaluation criteria. Our AI scores align closely with human reviewers — especially when scoring criteria are specific and well-defined — so the AI assessment closely matches what experienced interviewers would score.
4. You review text, not video
Open any candidate's response and you see the transcript, summary, and score side by side. Skim the summary for a quick take, or search the full transcript for specific keywords. Teams using CandidReel review candidates in 2 minutes instead of 30.
Searchable transcripts your whole team can access
Every transcript is fully searchable. Looking for candidates who mentioned "Kubernetes" or "enterprise sales"? Search across all responses for a job and find the exact moments that matter.
Need to loop in a hiring manager who doesn't have a CandidReel account? Share a review link — no login required. They see the video, transcript, and AI summary in one view. It's the fastest way to get alignment across your hiring team.
Transcripts also integrate with your existing ATS workflow. CandidReel syncs with Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, and JobAdder so transcripts and scores flow directly into your candidate records.
Replace manual interview notes with automated transcripts
Most hiring teams still rely on interviewers scribbling notes during calls. Those notes are incomplete, biased by recency, and impossible to search later. Automated interview transcription captures every word, creating a complete record that the entire team can reference.
This is especially valuable for compliance-conscious organizations. A full transcript provides an objective record of what was said, reducing he-said-she-said disputes and supporting structured, consistent evaluation across candidates.
If your team currently uses phone screens with manual note-taking, switching to video interviews with automated transcription is the single biggest efficiency gain you can make.
Included on every paid plan
AI transcription, summarization, and scoring are included on every paid CandidReel plan — starting at $29/month. There are no per-minute charges, no usage caps, and no add-on fees. Every interview your team conducts is automatically transcribed.
Compare that to standalone transcription services that charge $0.10-0.25 per minute of audio. For a team conducting 100 interviews per month at 15 minutes each, that's $150-375/month just for transcription — with no video platform, no AI scoring, and no pipeline management included.
