How to Use Voqra: Desktop App, Desktop Web, and Mobile Web Guide

This guide shows how to use Voqra from start to finish across three ways of accessing the app:

• the desktop app
• desktop web
• mobile web

The best option depends on where you are and what kind of interview support you need. If you are preparing for a real live interview, use the desktop app when possible. If you are setting up from a browser, reviewing past sessions, or using a laptop without the desktop app installed, desktop web is a good fallback. If you are on your phone, mobile web is useful for setup, typed questions, microphone-based practice, and review.

If you want a broader explanation of the product category, start with what an AI interview assistant does. If you already know you want live support, this guide walks through the practical steps.

Which version should you use?

Use this quick comparison before you start.

Version	Best for	Use when
Desktop app	Real live interviews	You want the smoothest overlay, audio, and screen-read flow
Desktop web	Browser-based setup and live support	You are on a laptop and want dashboard, history, setup, and supported browser live sessions
Mobile web	Setup, practice, and review	You are on your phone and want to prepare, type questions, use your mic, or review answers

The rest of this guide walks through each path end to end.

Before you start

No matter which version you use, Voqra works better when you provide enough interview context. Before starting a session, have these ready:

• the company name
• the role or job title
• your resume
• the job description
• any prep notes you want Voqra to use
• the interview language
• whether you are doing a live interview or practice session

You do not need perfect notes. Short, specific context is better than a long document full of unrelated details.

For example, useful prep notes might include:

• “Final round with hiring manager”
• “Focus on product strategy and cross-functional work”
• “I want help keeping behavioral answers concise”
• “The role emphasizes customer research and stakeholder communication”

Desktop app guide

The desktop app is the recommended path for real live interviews. It is built for the live overlay, meeting audio, and screen-read workflow.

Step 1: Sign in to the desktop app

Open Voqra and choose Sign In. The desktop app opens your browser for secure authentication, then returns you to the app.

You can also check for updates before a real interview. If your interview is soon, sign in early enough to handle updates or permissions without rushing.

Step 2: Add company and role information

After signing in, choose the session mode and enter the company and job role.

Use Live for a real interview. Use Practice when you want to rehearse before the call. The company name and job title help Voqra shape answer suggestions around the actual role.

Step 3: Upload your resume

Upload your resume so Voqra can connect answers to your real experience.

The desktop app accepts common resume formats such as PDF, DOCX, TXT, or Markdown. If you are sharing your screen during setup, be careful not to expose private files or folders to interviewers.

Step 4: Paste the job description

Paste the full job description into the setup flow.

This gives Voqra the role requirements, skills, and language the interviewer is likely to care about. A complete job description usually produces more relevant answer structure than a short title alone.

Step 5: Add optional prep notes

Add any notes you want Voqra to remember during the session.

Good notes are short and specific. For example:

• “Final round with hiring manager”
• “Emphasize customer research and product strategy”
• “Keep behavioral answers concise”
• “Prepare for questions about cross-functional work”

Step 6: Pick the screen and start the interview

Choose the screen Voqra should read when answers need shared-screen context, then select Start Interview.

Use the recommended auto option unless you know exactly which display you want Voqra to sample. This is especially useful for coding prompts, slides, shared documents, or visual interview tasks.

Step 7: Use the live overlay

When setup is complete, Voqra opens the live overlay.

During the interview, use the overlay for:

• detected interviewer questions
• typed questions when you want to enter one manually
• suggested answer structure
• screen reads when the interviewer references shared content
• answer generation once a question is available

Do not read suggestions word for word. Use them as structure. The goal is to stay natural while getting help with organization, examples, and recovery.

Use the overlay calmly

When a question appears, read the main idea first. Then answer in your own words.

A practical pattern is:

1. Start with a direct answer.
2. Use one example.
3. Explain your action.
4. Close with the result or lesson.

If you lose your place, pause and restart cleanly:

“Let me answer that more clearly.”

That sounds more composed than forcing a tangled answer.

End the session and review later

When the interview is over, end the session from the overlay. Then use the web app History page to review questions and answers later.

Review is useful because it helps you prepare for the next round. Look for:

• questions that appeared more than once
• answers that were too long
• examples that worked well
• areas where you needed stronger evidence

Desktop web guide

Desktop web is useful when you are using Voqra from a laptop browser. It gives you access to sign-in, setup, browser-based live sessions, history, billing, and the desktop app download.

Step 1: Open Voqra in your browser

Open Voqra in a desktop browser and choose Sign in to continue.

The web app is the right starting point when you want to set up a session, review history, manage billing, or download the desktop app.

Step 2: Start a new session

Choose New session from the sidebar. Before you can continue, Voqra asks for the meeting screen, your speech input, company name, role, and interview language.

Use Practice when you are rehearsing. Use Live when you are preparing for the actual interview.

Step 3: Share the meeting screen and turn on input

Select the meeting tab or window so Voqra can use the shared screen as context. Turn on your speech input before continuing.

The Continue button stays disabled until the required screen and speech inputs are ready.

Step 4: Add company and role details

After sharing and speech input are ready, add the company name, job role, and interview language.

The Continue button becomes available after the required setup fields are ready.

Step 5: Upload your resume

Upload the resume you want Voqra to use for answer context.

Your resume helps Voqra connect answers to your real work history, projects, and experience.

Step 6: Paste the job description

Paste the full job description into the setup form.

Include the responsibilities, required skills, and any team or product context from the posting. The more specific the role context is, the more relevant the answer suggestions can be.

Step 7: Add optional notes and start

Use the notes step for talking points you want to remember, then choose Start Interview.

Good notes include:

• projects you want to mention
• metrics you want to remember
• questions for the interviewer
• examples you want to avoid forgetting

At this point, your session has the company, role, resume, job description, optional notes, meeting screen, and speech input context.

Step 8: Use the live session view

After setup, Voqra opens the active session page.

In the live session view, you can:

• start or stop microphone input
• share or stop sharing display context
• read the screen manually
• type a question
• generate or review answer suggestions
• end the session when the interview is done

Use desktop web when you want a full browser workspace. Use the desktop app when you want the most focused live interview experience.

Step 9: Use background mode when you need the page behind it

Turn on background mode when you want Voqra visible over the shared browser page.

Keep the answer panel where you can read it quickly without blocking the page you are sharing.

Step 10: Review interview history

After the session, go to History. Use it to review what happened and prepare for the next interview.

You can look for:

• which question types came up
• where you sounded strongest
• where you rambled or lost structure
• which stories you should reuse or improve

Keep answers short enough to use

During the interview, Voqra may generate more structure than you need to say out loud. Pick the parts that help you answer clearly.

For most live answers:

• use one example
• avoid unnecessary background
• keep the first sentence direct
• end with the result, lesson, or next step

If the interviewer asks a follow-up, use the suggestion as context, not a script.

Mobile web guide

Mobile web is useful when you are away from your laptop. It supports setup, microphone input, typed questions, lightweight live sessions, and review. For meeting screen share and full interviewer audio capture, use desktop web or the desktop app.

Step 1: Open Voqra on your phone

Open Voqra in your mobile browser and choose Sign in to continue.

Mobile web is useful when you want to prepare context before switching to your laptop or when you want quick practice away from your main setup.

Step 2: Start a mobile session

Open New and choose the session mode. Mobile live mode asks for speech input before you start.

Use Practice when you are rehearsing. Use Live when you want the session timer and live answer flow.

Step 3: Turn on speech input

Enable microphone input so Voqra can use your spoken questions or practice answers.

Mobile supports microphone and typed questions. Meeting screen share and interviewer audio capture are available on desktop web and in the desktop app.

Step 4: Add company and role details

Scroll to Company Information and add the company name, role, and interview language.

This context helps keep answer suggestions specific to the role you are preparing for.

Step 5: Upload your resume

Upload the resume you want Voqra to use for answer context.

Your resume gives Voqra the background it needs to connect answers to your actual experience.

Step 6: Paste the job description

Paste the full job description into the setup form.

Include the responsibilities, requirements, and any product or team details from the posting.

Step 7: Add optional notes and start

Use notes for talking points, questions, examples, or reminders. When the setup is ready, choose Start Interview.

Notes are optional, but they are useful when you have specific stories or metrics you want to remember.

Step 8: Use the mobile live session

After the session starts, Voqra shows the mobile live view.

This is useful for:

• practicing answers out loud
• testing how you would answer a common question
• typing a question you expect in the interview
• reviewing answer structure before the call

For real meeting audio, screen share, and live screen context, switch to desktop web or the desktop app.

Recommended end-to-end workflow

If you want the smoothest path, use this sequence:

1. Use mobile or desktop web to collect your resume, job description, and prep notes.
2. Install and open the desktop app before the interview day.
3. Create the session with company, role, resume, job description, and notes.
4. Choose Practice if you want to rehearse first.
5. Choose Live before the actual interview.
6. Keep the overlay open and use suggestions as structure.
7. End the session when the interview is finished.
8. Review History and improve your stories before the next round.

That gives you preparation before the call, support during the call, and review afterward.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid these mistakes when using Voqra:

• waiting until the interview starts to install the desktop app
• skipping the resume or job description
• using vague prep notes
• reading generated answers word for word
• ignoring screen or microphone permissions until the last minute
• using mobile web for a full live meeting when desktop is available
• forgetting to end the session after the interview

Voqra works best when it has enough context and you use it as a calm support layer, not as a replacement for your own voice.

Final takeaway

Use the desktop app for real live interviews. Use desktop web when you want a browser workspace for setup, history, billing, and supported live sessions. Use mobile web when you want to prepare, practice, type questions, or review from your phone.

The strongest workflow is simple: prepare the session before the interview, use Voqra to stay structured during the conversation, then review what happened afterward.
