HackerEarth has introduced audio proctoring for assessments to create a more secure testing environment for candidates and recruiters. This new feature promotes a fair and transparent assessment process. It detects background sounds like conversations or noises while the candidate is attempting assessment.

Audio proctoring can help detect a range of violations that may occur during an assessment. These include:

• Cheating through verbal communication
• Use of unauthorized devices
• Background noise
