What Veracue can and can’t tell you
It measures what you said and what you did on camera, never what you felt or who you are, and its scores are coaching, not a prediction.
What does it measure?
Whether you answered the question with a real example and a clear structure; your eye contact, speaking pace and filler words, counted from the recording; and what your face and voice did at the words you were saying. A read of your face or voice is an impression of how a moment is likely to come across to a viewer, shown as words. It does not detect emotions, and it never says whether you were honest, confident or any kind of person.
What do the camera and microphone limit?
It can only read what they give it. A face in shadow or lit from one side, a camera below eye level, a face too far from the lens, or a microphone that cannot hear you makes the reads less reliable. On a computer, the setup check before each recording warns you when it sees one of these. Reading from notes on the screen takes your eyes off the lens, and the eye-contact figure records that.
What are the scores for?
They say how one answer compared with a clear rubric and with your own earlier answers, so you know what to fix next. They are not a hiring decision, a measure of your ability, or a forecast of how an interview will go; no practice tool can give you that.
Common questions
Do I need a good webcam?
Any standard laptop webcam works fine, and so does a phone’s front camera — stand the phone up at eye level rather than holding it. The AI is designed to work with typical video call quality — you don't need professional equipment.
How long should a practice session be?
A practice session is five generated questions with three selected for you, and a good answer runs 60 to 120 seconds — so most sessions take about 3 to 10 minutes. Drop the questions you don't want before you start, or keep all five for a longer session. Each question you answer uses one practice question from your plan.
What if I don’t know what to say?
Pick a level before you record. Beginner gives you a full answer to read aloud, intermediate gives you talking points, expert gives you the question alone. All three are on every plan. One honest note: read as written, a script’s words are the script’s, so its content score reflects the script until you make the answer your own.
Are the questions read aloud?
Yes, on every plan. Every question has a Listen button, on the review screen and again in front of the camera, so you can hear it in an interviewer’s voice instead of reading it. Nothing plays unless you press it. In simulation mode the question is asked aloud on its own, recording starts a moment after the voice finishes, and the next question follows the moment you stop. Simulation mode is included with Pro, Interview Sprint and Premium, and needs a desktop browser.
Can I practise for a specific company?
Yes — paste the job listing and we'll generate questions tailored to that specific role, company, and seniority level. The questions adapt to the requirements mentioned in the listing.
Is my video stored anywhere?
Your privacy matters to us. Your answers are analysed on our servers, and your recording is deleted within seconds of the analysis completing, unless you choose to keep it. If an analysis fails, the recording is held for up to 24 hours so we can diagnose the failure, then automatically deleted. Unless you turn on Keep my recordings, we keep only your transcripts, scores and feedback, so you can track progress. See our
Privacy Policy for details.
