Description
During a mock interview, brief filler sounds such as "mmm" or "um" can unintentionally interrupt the interviewer while it is still speaking.
These sounds may occur naturally while I am thinking and are not intended to interrupt the interviewer. However, CodeTrial appears to treat them as a barge-in event and immediately stops the current interviewer response.
After the interruption, the interviewer may start speaking again and repeat part or all of the previous explanation or question.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a mock interview normally.
- Wait for the interviewer to begin speaking.
- While the interviewer is still speaking, make a short filler sound such as "mmm" or "um" without giving an actual response.
- Observe that the interviewer stops speaking.
- Wait for the interviewer to continue.
- Observe that the interviewer may repeat part or all of the previous response.
Expected Behavior
Very brief filler sounds should ideally not be treated as an intentional interruption when the candidate is only thinking.
Actual Behavior
A brief filler sound such as "mmm" or "um" can interrupt the interviewer in the middle of its response.
After the interruption, the interviewer may start speaking again and repeat part or all of the previous question or explanation.
Impact
This can occur naturally while the candidate is thinking. It interrupts the flow of the interview and may cause the candidate to miss part of a question or hear the same content multiple times.
