Consent guide

Get the required consent before transcription starts.

Recording and transcription rules vary by country, state, contract, and setting. A product toggle cannot decide whether you have legal or contractual permission.

Ask before enabling audio

Explain that you want to use live transcription or an assistant, name the purpose, and wait for a clear response when consent is required. If the interviewer or employer says no, keep the audio controls off.

Check more than recording law

Interview instructions, confidentiality agreements, assessment rules, and professional duties may be stricter than general recording law.

  • Local law for every participant
  • Employer and assessment rules
  • Confidential or regulated information
  • Retention and deletion plan

When uncertain, do not process the call

Ask the organizer or a qualified lawyer for guidance. This page is general product education, not legal advice.
