ResumeReadoutWhat a parse-check actually is
A chatbot that gives you opinions about your resume is easy to build and already free everywhere. What’s harder — and what we think is actually useful — is showing you the same thing a parser sees: whether your file has a real, selectable text layer; whether your layout uses columns or tables that scramble reading order; what a machine would extract as your name, email, and phone number; whether your section headers are ones a parser recognizes at all.
None of that requires an opinion. It’s just what’s in the file, read the way software reads it. That’s the parse-check, and it’s the core of the product — not a chatbot wrapper with extra steps.
The score doesn’t move
We do use AI — Claude, from Anthropic — but only for one optional thing: if you paste in a job description, it suggests keywords from that posting you might be missing. It never touches the parse-check score. The score comes from the same deterministic checks every time, on your file alone, whether or not you ever use the AI feature at all.
No accounts. No paywall. No catch.
The parse-check is free and stays free — no signup, no email gate, no “upgrade to see your full results.” If we ever charge for something, it’ll be a genuinely separate feature, not the thing you came here for.
How we handle your resume
Short version: your file is parsed in your browser and never uploaded. For the full technical detail — including what happens if you use the optional AI keyword-match feature — see our privacy policy.
Still figuring some of this out
This is a small, independent project, actively being built. Where a page describes something before it’s fully live, we’ll say so rather than pretend otherwise — that’s the same honesty we’re asking resume tools in general to have more of.
