About the app
What is SelfIntroVideo?
SelfIntroVideo is an Android app that helps you record a short self-introduction video for job applications. It writes a script from your Talent Tabloid profile, shows it on a teleprompter while you record on your phone, and adds the finished video to your Talent Tabloid profile.
Who is it for?
Job seekers, mainly tradespeople and skilled workers who apply for jobs, often in another country, and people who speak English as a second language.
Is the app on Google Play?
Not yet. The Android app is coming soon. The iPhone version will come later.
Does it cost anything?
The app is not released yet, so there is nothing to pay today. When it comes to Google Play, the listing will show clearly what is free and what costs money.
Do I need a Talent Tabloid account?
Yes. You sign in with your Talent Tabloid account when you open the app. The app uses your profile to write your script and sends your video to your profile.
Script and recording
How long is the video?
Aim for about one minute. The AI script is 90 to 160 words, about 30 to 60 seconds of speaking. The app shows when you reach 60 seconds and stops recording at 90 seconds.
Can I change the script?
Yes. Pick a tone (Confident, Friendly or Formal), generate a new version, or change any words. You can also write your own script and save scripts for later.
What if my English is not perfect?
That is fine. The script uses short sentences and common words. Practise first with the teleprompter and set a speaking pace from 100 to 180 words per minute.
Can I record again?
Yes, as many times as you like. After recording you can retake, trim the start and the end, and then save.
How many videos can I keep?
The app keeps up to 5 recordings. Delete one to make space for a new one.
Your video and your data
Where does my video go?
Your videos are saved inside the app on your phone. A video goes to your Talent Tabloid profile only when you tap "Set as Intro Video". If you delete it in the app later, it is removed from your profile too.
Can I use my video for other job applications?
Your video is shown on your Talent Tabloid profile, and you can share your profile with employers. Always follow the instructions in each job advert.
Does a video help me get a job?
A good video can help an employer get to know you before an interview, but no video or app can promise a job, an interview or a visa.
