KEY
TYPING PLAYBACK

SEE HOW THEY
ACTUALLY
THINK.

Replay for text and simple coding assessments promises to detect thinking patterns, where someone hesitated, copy-pasted, and how they really approach a problem with evidence.

THE PROBLEM

FINAL ANSWERS
DON'T TELL
THE FULL STORY.

Other platforms show you the final state. The hesitations, the rewrites, and the past events are what truly show a candidate's capability.

Hiring for final output only obscures the underlying thought process. And it's the process of thinking that is the important thing.
MOST PLATFORMS ONLY SHOW:
Final text submission
Final code output
Final file upload
BUT THEY DON'T SHOW:
Was everything immediately pasted by the candidate?
Did they struggle with logical bits?
Did they rewrite multiple times?
Were they actually typing things out with care or copy-and-pasting from somewhere?
Are large blocks suddenly being deleted?

HOW IT WORKS

THREE STEPS TO
FULL TRANSPARENCY.

01

Candidate Starts Answer

Keystroke logging will automatically enable as soon as the candidate starts typing, but only while they are in the assessment window. No background tracking. Your privacy will be protected

  • Operational only inside of the assessment window
  • No background or system-level tracking
  • Candidate is informed before starting
  • Accomplishments for text responses and programming challenges

CORE VALUE

WHAT HR ACTUALLY
LEARNS.

You don't just evaluate skill. You evaluate cognitive behavior.

🧠 INSIGHT

Thinking Depth

  • Was the candidate executed pre-planned before typing or what?
  • Did they start out by writing some haphazard logic?
  • Did they refactor their code?
  • Was the answer structured step by step?
Reveals genuine cognitive process
INSIGHT

Effort vs Speed

  • Immediate all-inclusive answer = potential cut-and-paste
  • Step-by-step logical reasoning = real solving
  • Points of complexity = Real thinking (between two very long pauses).
  • Immediate deletion following paste = red flag.
Distinguishes authentic from fabricated
🔍 INSIGHT

Problem-Solving Pattern

  • Trial and error attempts visible
  • Multiple logic rewrites tracked
  • Optimization passes recorded
  • Syntax correction behavior analyzed
Not only a skill assessment but also an evaluation of cognitive behavior.
ANTI-CHEAT LAYER

TYPING PLAYBACK
AS AN INTEGRITY
WEAPON.

Typing Playback flags behaviors that appear suspicious. Adding on proctoring creates a multi-layered integrity system that is nearly impossible to defeat!

WHEN COMBINED WITH:
Dual Camera Proctoring
Tab Switching Detection
Audio Monitoring
Multi-layer integrity system that is virtually unhackable.
TYPING PLAYBACK AUTO-FLAGS:
Large instant paste events
Unlimited characters in < 0.1 seconds
HIGH
Long idle + abrupt full answer.
They pause it for a long time, then answer all at once.
HIGH
Rapid deletion after paste
Just to paste and delete the content. Classic cover up.
HIGH
Inconsistent typing speed
Disparities in speed not normal for typing.
MED
Repeated switching patterns
This was then combined with tab detection to give positive proof.

PART OF YOUR
HIRING WORKFLOW.

All on one candidate screen. No tool switching.

AI Resume Scoring

Combine keystroke analysis capabilities with AI score interpretation for a 360-degree view of your candidate.

Coding AI Evaluations

See every line of code being written with typing playback. Works inside all coding challenges.

Text AI Evaluation

Replay text answers with AI scoring to validate authenticity.

Dual Camera Proctoring

Merge keystroke records with cam video for comprehensive source authentication.

Pipeline Movement

Flagged playback sessions automatically add candidates to your hiring pipeline.

Tab Switch Detection

For unambiguous evidence of cheating, correlate tab switches with an immediate past event.

SECURITY & PRIVACY

PRIVACY-FIRST
BY DESIGN.

Keystroke recording is sensitive. Typing playback was built on strict privacy controls. Only running when it should and never outside that scope.

Assessment-Only Active

Keystroke logging only occurs during the assessment window. Never in the background.

Encrypted Storage

Session recordings are end-to-end encrypted in transit and at rest.

No Background Tracking

No system-level or browser-level keystroke tracking related to assessment.

Consent-Based

Successful candidates are always aware that they are being recorded and consent to any recording commencing.

"WHILE WE WOULD NEVER SEE IT, TYPING PLAYBACK CAUGHT SOMETHING. A CANDIDATE COPIED A FULL ANSWER, DELETED IT ALL AND SLOWLY TYPED OVER THEIR OWN. THE PLAYBACK SHOWED EVERYTHING."
