Why SpeechShield

What SpeechShield does differently

  • Made for the Mac

    A native macOS app, not a web page in a window. The overlay sits above Zoom, Google Meet or Teams and is left out of screen sharing.

  • Your phone as a second screen

    Scan a QR code and follow the questions and answers in iOS Safari or Android Chrome on the same Wi-Fi. No app to install, and your resume never goes to the phone.

  • Answers from your own experience

    Each company and role gets a profile with your resume and the job posting. When a question isn't covered, SpeechShield says so instead of making up experience.

  • Translation built in

    Show the call as original and translated captions in 13 languages, or read answers in your own language in an English interview. Translate on your Mac and the audio never leaves it.

  • Your own AI, without limits

    Connect your own API key, or the Claude or Codex CLI on your Mac, and use it without a time limit on every plan, Free included.

  • One price list

    Pro is $19 a month and Max is $49 a month. No struck-through prices, and a full refund within 7 days of payment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use SpeechShield instead of Interview Pilot?

How does SpeechShield's pricing compare with Interview Pilot's?

Does SpeechShield work with Zoom, Google Meet and Teams?

Yes. It listens to the audio your Mac plays, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and browser-based calls, without adding a bot to the call.

Can I read answers on my phone?

Yes. Scan the QR code on your Mac and open it in iOS Safari or Android Chrome on the same Wi-Fi. No app to install. Your resume and job posting are never sent to the phone.
