Talview

Talview is an AI proctoring and interviewing platform for organizations whose results have to stand up to a challenge: certification and licensing bodies, universities, college admissions teams, training departments and enterprise hiring teams. Its home page calls it "The security layer for every exam and interview you run" and sums up the method in three lines: "Prove who is there. Name what is happening. Leave a record that holds up." Exams and interviews run on the same engine, so an exam board and a recruiter get the same identity checks and the same kind of record. This entry focuses on the exam side, with the hiring products as context.

Identity, context and record

Talview builds everything around three things it says must be true before a result can be defended. The first is identity. Candidates are checked "at the door and again mid-session, with face verification that does not stop at login," with liveness and document matching at the start. The comparison material describes this as AI-powered face-to-photo ID matching before the assessment begins.

The second is context. Rather than a generic alert that something happened, Talview aims to name what happened: "The application, the second device, the room, named in context." The home page lists face swaps, injected video and synthetic voice among the signals it names as they happen, and its FAQ says the agentic AI "names the specific application, device or environment signal behind each flag, and only escalates what a human actually needs to see."

The third is the record. Each incident carries its signals, its clip and the reviewer's decision, and the audit trail is "Timestamped and exportable." Talview is explicit that people make the calls. Its "Who decides" section pairs each system action with a human one: Alvy drafts an incident summary and the proctor edits or sends it, the system surfaces context around a flag and the reviewer decides what it means, and every proctor action is logged with a mandatory reason. The customer owns the audit trail and makes the final call to qualify or disqualify a candidate.

Proctoring options

The exam and proctoring menu covers several ways to run an exam. Automated Proctoring is remote proctoring by software. Record & Review is described as AI proctoring with human review. Live Remote Proctoring puts a live invigilator in the session. AI Lite Proctoring is pitched as "Light on Cost, Heavy on Security," and In-Center Proctoring applies the same technology to exam sessions in a physical test center. The home page says exams can be run as automated, record-and-review or live proctoring "with Alvy as copilot," and the comparison material says institutions choose the monitoring mode that fits their needs within one platform.

Alvy is Talview's AI proctor. The home page credits it with continuous liveness and face matching rather than a one-time check, a secondary-camera view of the desk and room, and a locked-down browser exam environment with nothing to install. It cites a US patent covering contextual, real-time session detection, and the product menu calls Alvy the "World's First Patented Agentic AI Proctoring." According to the comparison material, Alvy can onboard test-takers, monitor sessions, provide in-exam support and generate detailed reports on demand.

The secondary camera is usually the candidate's smartphone, giving proctors a wider view of the exam setting. The Secure Browser restricts keyboard inputs and limits access to whitelisted sites, and Talview says it is designed for easy deployment and minimal technical overhead. Exam content is protected by disabling screen recordings and browser screenshots and by watermarking assessments. For places with poor internet, the FAQ says the secure exam browser and "offline-tolerant proctoring are built for low-bandwidth and intermittent-connectivity environments."

Running and building exams

Talview is more than a proctoring layer. The menu includes an Online Exam Platform, ID Verification, a Form Builder and Bookings & Payments. With the booking tool, candidates pick the live proctored exam slot that suits them and pay in the same step, which matters for certification bodies that charge exam fees. The glossary page promotes creating a custom quiz in less than 20 seconds, and the footer lists assessments and an online coding test. Add-ons bring proctoring to Microsoft Forms and Google Forms, and there are mobile apps for candidates and for recruiters.

Integrations

Talview offers four ways in. An SDK puts its core capabilities inside another platform, an LMS extension embeds it in Moodle and Canvas, a wrapper gives a quick lightweight deployment with no integration work, and an API gives partners programmatic access per session. The home page says the embedded route provides "Identity, context and record per session, under your brand," and that Talview will put in writing "What is live today, what is conditional, what is roadmap." Partners can also white-label Talview's online assessment platform for their own clients.

Privacy and consent

The FAQ answers the surveillance question directly. Monitoring is scoped to the session, consent is captured before anything runs, and the customer sets the level per session type, "so a job application is not locked down like a final exam." For candidates under eighteen, consent is never assumed and in most jurisdictions goes to a guardian. Retention is configurable to the customer's policy. The site also points to a Trust Center, a 7-layer security framework and a page on ethical AI practices.

Results customers report

Talview presents customer results as "Their results, in their engagements. Not promises." La Trobe University runs 12,000 students per semester, GBTS scaled from 2,000 to 30,000 test-takers, RM works across 170+ countries, Cambridge Assessment onboarded 200+ delivery agents, and HCL Technologies reports an 80% reduction in proxy and impersonation attempts. A customer quote on the home page reads: "Speed and scalability… we needed something quickly and that could be rolled out at scale across the globe. In order to meet the demands of our customer. We do have a really good working relationship with Talview." Another product page lists a 20% increase in test-takers, 98% who have a great experience and a 40% increase in revenue as benefits, and the site links to reviews on G2.

Hiring products

The same engine powers Ivy, an AI interviewer for high-volume screening that the home page says is "multilingual by design" and never poses as a human recruiter, plus Live Interview Rooms with interview builder, candidate verification, coding assessments and whiteboarding. Talview Verity, a newer product, checks identity, credentials, experience and resumes for hiring fraud.

Support, trial and pricing

The help section offers a Help Center, a request form, ticket status, a knowledge base, a Candidate Hub, a Download Center and a Test Center, and the site is available in English, German, Spanish and French. The menu links to a pricing page and a "Try for Free" option. For larger buyers, the home page proposes a pilot: "One exam. One requisition. Thirty to sixty days."

Who it suits

Talview suits exam owners who expect results to be challenged: certification and licensing bodies, higher education exam offices, admissions teams and regulated programs that need an exportable, reasoned record behind each decision. Its exam platform, booking and payment tools make it a fit for bodies that sell exams directly to candidates, and the SDK, LMS extension and API suit assessment platforms that want proctoring under their own brand. Organizations that also hire at volume can run interviews on the same system. A small course creator who only wants a light check on a quiz will find most of this more than they need, though AI Lite Proctoring is aimed at lower-cost use.
