The project allows users to practice answering typical interview questions categorized into three\ngroups: soft skills, hard skills, and mixed questions.\n\n## Project Description\n\n**Current Context**\nIn a competitive professional environment, preparation for interviews is crucial for success. This project provides a\nstructured and interactive way to prepare for various aspects of an interview.\n\n**Objective**\nThe goal of this project is to provide an interactive platform where users can practice answering interview questions,\nreceive instant feedback, and improve their communication and technical skills.\n\n## Features\n\n- **File Loading:** Users can upload PDF files containing information on the interview module, required skills, etc.\n- **Direct Interaction Mode:** Questions are posed through an interface, and the user must respond orally. Responses are\n  transmitted via Whisper for analysis.\n- **Revised Document Mode:** Ability to generate a PDF file containing both the questions and predefined answers for\n  review and offline practice.\n\n## Technologies Used\n\n- **OpenAI ChatGPT:** Used to generate dynamic responses to user questions. This is the official OpenAI API for\n  generating text.\n- **Whisper:** Used to transcribe oral responses into text. This is a dockerized service that listens for audio input\n  and transcribes it into text.\n- **PDFKit:** Used for creating and manipulating PDF documents.\n- **Next.js:** A production ready React framework for building web applications.\n- **Tailwind CSS:** A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs.\n- **FFMPEG:** Used for converting audio files to different formats and handling audio streams.\n\n## Project Setup\n\n1. **Clone the Repository:** Clone the repository to your local machine to begin development or testing.\n2. **Install Dependencies:** Install all required dependencies using `pnpm install`.\n3. **API Configuration:** Ensure you obtain a valid OpenAI API key and place it in the `.env` file.\n\n### Environment Variable Configuration\n\nTo configure the environment variables necessary for running your project, you need to create an `.env` file at the root\nof your project. This file should include essential configurations for integrating external services used by your\napplication.\n\n#### `.env` File Content\n\nInsert the following lines into your `.env` file, replacing placeholder values with your specific information:\n\n```plaintext\n# Endpoint for the Whisper service used for transcribing oral responses\nNEXT_PUBLIC_WHISPER_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000\n\n# OpenAI API key for using services such as ChatGPT (GPT-3.5 Turbo is used for cost efficiency, but you can use any GPT API key for more accurate results)\nOPENAI_API_KEY=\u003cYour_OpenAI_API_Key\u003e\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\nEnsure that you have Docker Desktop installed on your machine.\n\n### Running the Application\n\nAfter setting up the environment variables, and installing the dependencies, you can start the application this way:\n\n```bash\npnpm run build\npnpm run start\n```\n\n## Authors\n\n- Joiakim DASEK - @JowaDev\n- Zotrim UKA - @Zot10\n\n## Credits\n\nThis project was developed as part of the HEG - Business Information Technology degree programme.\n\nWe drew inspiration from the [Liftoff](https://github.com/Tameyer41/liftoff) project for the audio and video\nsegmentation process as well as a portion of the\ninteraction logic with the video component.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjowadev%2Finterview","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjowadev%2Finterview","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjowadev%2Finterview/lists"}
