Write your interview questions

Click the "Interview Questions" tab to prepare before you record. Use the built-in text editor to write your questions, organize them by topic, and format with headings and lists. During the interview, you can reference and cross off questions as you go.

Set up Story Setup

Before you hit record, click "Story Setup" to tell the AI about your interviewee, your story objective, and your target audience. This helps the AI generate more relevant coaching suggestions and notes.

Select your audio source

Choose your microphone from the Audio Source dropdown in the top bar. For best results, use an external microphone plugged directly into your computer. If your subject is speaking through your computer's built-in mic, make sure they're close enough for clear capture — poor audio quality leads to poor transcription results.

Due to OS-level security restrictions, StorySeeker cannot capture audio from apps like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet directly. For remote interviews, a third-party tool like LoopBack can create a virtual audio device that routes app audio into StorySeeker.

Important: StorySeeker does not record or store your audio. It only transcribes speech in real-time for AI coaching and record keeping.

Start recording

Press Start and your transcript will begin appearing within about 15 seconds. The AI needs a moment to warm up — then words will flow in real-time as the conversation happens. You can bookmark key moments by clicking the star icon during recording.

Review AI suggestions

As you talk, the AI Coaching panel suggests follow-up questions based on what's being said. Use these to dig deeper into moments that matter for your story. Suggestions appear every few minutes, with the most recent at the top.

Check your notes

The Live Notes panel auto-generates structured notes as the conversation progresses. Key moments are flagged as "story gold" — look for the gold dot indicator — so you can quickly find the most compelling material later.

Finish & analyze

When you're done, press Stop. You'll be offered a post-interview analysis that summarizes what went well, missed opportunities, and patterns to watch. Export your transcript, notes, and analysis anytime as Markdown, CSV, or SRT.

Track your progress

Visit your Dashboard to see how your interview skills are developing over time. StorySeeker tracks your strengths, patterns, and growth areas across every analyzed interview — so you can see what's improving and where to focus next.
