**Outcome.** By the end you can turn on Clarity read for one position, find the Clarity column and filter in the candidate list, and read the Clarity card on a candidate, with the quotes behind each row.

## Before you start

- A Truffle account. The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card.
- A position with a one-way video interview.
- Candidates who finish the interview after you turn Clarity read on. Interviews completed before that get no read.

## Steps

### 1. Find Clarity read

In **Configure screening**, open the video interview. **Clarity read**, marked **Beta**, sits under the timing controls. It is off by default. The line under it says what it adds: a High / Mixed / Low read of whether the answers address the question, are easy to follow and are specific, from the transcript, with quotes you can play. It does not change scores and is free during the beta.

### 2. Turn it on

Switch **Clarity read** on. A **Language** setting appears, set to **English**, with **More languages soon**. English is the only language in the beta.

### 3. Spot it in the candidate list

Once a candidate finishes the interview and the read is ready, the position's candidate list has a **CLARITY** column next to **INTERVIEW**, here **High**. You can sort by it.

### 4. Filter by it

Choose **Filters**, then **Clarity**. Filter on the **Overall** read, **High**, **Mixed** or **Low**, or on one row: **Answers the question**, **Easy to follow**, **Specific** or the language. Each row filters on **High**, **Mid** or **Low**. The filter also has **Not available**, with **Include**.

### 5. Open the Clarity card

Open the candidate and go to **Screening**. The **Clarity** card sits at the top: **How the answers read as a set · transcripts only**, how many answers it read, here **2 of 2 answers**, and the overall read.

### 6. Read each row

Open the card. It has a row for **Answers the question**, **Easy to follow** and **Specific**, plus one for the language, here **English**. Each row has its own level, short notes tied to a question, and quotes from the answers. The card ends with how it works: **Read from transcripts only. It doesn't consider accent, tone, emotion or appearance, and it doesn't change any score.**

### 7. Play a quote

Each note and quote has a chip with the question and the time, such as **Q2 · 0:00**. Choose it to jump to that answer at that moment, with the transcript line highlighted, and check the quote yourself.

### 8. See it in Magic Review

In **Focus view**, the same read shows as **CLARITY** next to **INTERVIEW**, and the Clarity card sits above the candidate's videos.
