Do I have to enable camera?
No. Camera features are optional. You can practice fully without camera-based coaching.
Do I have to enable microphone?
No. Microphone features are optional. Enable it only if you want speech coaching signals.
What is the difference between Interview, Question Bank, and Rapid Practice?
Interview is a structured, multi-question session. Question Bank lets you practice specific prompts. Rapid Practice is quick reps to improve fast.
- - Interview: timed, session-based practice
- - Question Bank: targeted questions
- - Rapid Practice: quick repetitions
Do you guarantee I will get a job?
No. Dialogate is a practice tool and does not guarantee interviews, offers, or hiring outcomes.
Why does my eye contact level change?
It’s a coaching signal, not a test. Lighting, camera angle, distance, and looking far away from the lens can lower it.
- - Front light helps the most
- - Camera at eye level improves stability
- - Notes near the top of the screen reduce big drops
What counts as good eye contact?
You do not need to stare at the lens. Aim to look toward the camera on your key sentences, especially your opener and closer.
Why does it drop when I look at my screen?
Looking down or far off-screen changes gaze direction. Keeping notes near the top of your screen usually fixes this.
- - Move notes upward
- - Raise camera to eye level
- - Move slightly closer to the camera
Where is my practice time stored?
Practice time is tracked locally in your browser so the weekly chart updates instantly.
Why did my weekly practice time reset?
If you cleared site data, used a different browser or profile, or changed devices, local practice totals may reset.
How do I get the most accurate camera coaching?
Stability matters more than perfection. Improve lighting, keep a consistent distance, and avoid dramatic head angle changes.
- - Front lighting, avoid backlight
- - Camera at eye level
- - Consistent distance from lens
My microphone results look off. What should I try?
Background noise and echo are the most common issues. Try a quieter room or headphones, and speak at a consistent volume.
- - Use headphones to reduce echo
- - Reduce background noise
- - Speak slightly slower and clearer
What’s the fastest way to improve?
Practice small, often. Use Rapid Practice for warm-ups and repeat your weakest question type.
- - Daily: 2–5 Rapid Practice questions
- - 2–4x per week: one full Interview session
- - After: re-answer one weak question immediately
What should I practice if I only have 10 minutes?
Do 2 Rapid Practice questions, then re-answer the weaker one immediately with one improvement goal.
How do I pick what to improve first?
Pick one theme for a week. Common high-impact themes are: clearer structure, fewer filler words, and stronger closings.
What should I include in a strong answer?
Lead with your point, add one piece of proof, then close with outcome and learning or next step.
- - Point
- - Proof (one concrete detail)
- - Close (outcome and learning)
How do I report a bug quickly?
Include the page name, what you expected vs what happened, and the smallest reproduction steps. Console errors help.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Purchases are final and refunds are not offered. If something is broken or you were charged in error, contact support.
My scores look wrong. What should I try?
Start with environment setup. Most issues are lighting, camera angle, or background noise.
- - Improve lighting and reduce shadows
- - Move closer to the camera
- - Use a quieter room
