HomeAI Detector › Resume Checker

Resume checker that flags the AI lines, then helps you fix them in your voice.

Paste your resume, see which lines read like generic AI output instead of your own work, and rework those lines so they say something specific and true. TextSight pairs a real AI detector with an AI rewriter: scan to find the weak bullets, rewrite the flagged ones in your own voice, then re-scan to confirm. It is a check-and-polish loop for the words on your resume, not a one-click builder and not a promise about any third-party hiring filter.

Why it matters now

Why check a resume for AI in 2026.

It is normal to draft a resume with ChatGPT or a built-in AI assistant. The problem is what that draft sounds like to the people and systems reading it. Two things are worth knowing before you hit submit.

Recruiters and hiring platforms increasingly run AI checks

Resume volume jumped once anyone could generate a polished draft in seconds, so a lot of recruiting teams and applicant platforms started screening for AI-likelihood the same way they already screen for keywords. You do not control which tools a given employer uses or how they weigh the result. What you do control is whether your resume reads as boilerplate that thousands of other applicants also generated, or as a specific account of your own work. The first kind blends into the pile; the second kind stands out for the right reason.

AI drafts default to hollow, interchangeable phrasing

Even setting detectors aside, AI-written bullets tend to converge on the same empty language: results-driven professional, proven track record, leveraged cross-functional synergies, spearheaded strategic initiatives. A reader cannot tell two candidates apart when both resumes use those phrases, and a hiring manager scanning forty applications will skim right past them. Checking the resume surfaces these lines so you can swap them for what you actually did, with the real numbers and the real context that only you know.

Your own voice is the asset, not a liability to hide

The goal here is not to disguise an AI draft so it sneaks through a filter. The goal is the opposite: take the generic draft and put your actual experience back into it, in language that sounds like you. A resume that reads as your own work tends to read as human to both a hiring manager and a detector, because it is human. The honest framing is clarity and ownership of your story, used responsibly, not evasion.

The loop

Scan, see the flagged lines, rewrite, re-check.

The checker is a short loop you run on the text of your resume. Each pass takes a couple of minutes and you keep the lines that already sound like you.

Step 1 · Paste your resume and scan

Open app.textsight.ai in any browser, paste your resume text (up to 5,000 characters per scan on the free tier, enough for a typical one or two-page resume), and run the AI detector. You get an overall read plus sentence-level highlights showing which bullets and summary lines look like generic AI output versus your own writing. No file install, no extension, no signup needed for the first run.

Step 2 · Read the flagged lines

The highlights point you straight at the weak spots, which are usually the professional-summary paragraph and the most templated bullets. A flagged line is a prompt to ask one question: does this say what I specifically did, or could it appear on anyone's resume? If it is interchangeable, it is worth reworking. If a flagged line is genuinely yours and already specific, keep it; the highlight is a signal to review, not an order to delete.

Step 3 · Rewrite the flagged lines in your own voice

Send a flagged bullet to the AI rewriter and rework it. Pick Light to nudge phrasing while staying close to the original, or Balanced to reshape rhythm and drop the stock corporate vocabulary. The rewriter preserves your facts (titles, employers, dates, tools, the numbers in the bullet) and changes how the line reads. The point is to land on a version that sounds like you would actually say it in an interview, with the concrete detail intact.

Step 4 · Re-scan and confirm

Paste the reworked resume back in and scan again. The lines you reworked should now read as your own voice rather than AI boilerplate, and you can see the change in the highlights and the Authenticity Score (measured against TextSight's own detector). Repeat on any line that is still flagged. When the resume reads as your specific work and you have re-read every edited line for accuracy, you are done.

What to look for

The lines that get flagged, and how to fix them.

Once you have run a scan, the same handful of patterns show up across almost every AI-drafted resume. Here is what to watch for and the direction to fix it.

Stock corporate vocabulary

Words like leverage, spearhead, synergy, robust, dynamic, results-driven, and proven track record cluster in AI drafts. They read as filler because they describe nothing. The fix is to name the actual verb (built, shipped, cut, negotiated, trained) and attach a real object: not "leveraged data to drive results" but "rebuilt the weekly sales report so the team stopped re-keying numbers by hand."

The over-polished professional summary

The summary paragraph is the single most AI-sounding part of most resumes because people let the assistant write it wholesale. It is usually three sentences of adjectives with no specifics. Rewrite it as two or three sentences that state what you do, the scale you do it at, and one concrete thing you are known for, in plain language.

Identical bullet rhythm

AI bullets tend to share one shape: strong verb, vague middle, bolted-on outcome, every single line. A human resume has variation. Some bullets are short. Some carry a number. Some name a tool or a stakeholder. Varying the length and structure of your bullets is both more readable and less templated, and it is one of the clearest tells the scan picks up.

Numbers that are vague or missing

AI drafts either skip metrics or hedge them ("significantly improved efficiency"). The check is a good prompt to add the real figure where you have one: the percentage, the headcount, the budget, the timeframe. A specific number is the hardest thing for any generic draft to fake, and it is the thing a hiring manager actually wants. Only add numbers that are true; never invent one to look impressive.

Honest scope

What the resume checker is, and what it is not.

We would rather you know the edges up front. TextSight is honest software; it does two real things well and is clear about what it does not do.

It is: an AI-pattern check plus an own-voice rewrite

The two capabilities are real and live today. The detector flags lines that read like generic AI output, with sentence-level highlights. The rewriter helps you rework those lines in your own voice while keeping your facts. Together they form a check-and-polish loop for the words on your resume. That is the whole product, and it works.

It is not: an ATS pass guarantee

TextSight works on the text, not the file. It does not promise your resume will parse cleanly through any applicant tracking system, rank for any job, or clear any specific employer's screen. Layout, columns, headers, and PDF parsing are a different problem; use a dedicated resume builder or ATS-formatting tool for those. We make no claim about getting you an interview.

It is not: a plagiarism shield or a bypass tool

This is not a way to make a resume "undetectable" or to beat a hiring filter, and we will not pretend otherwise. No tool can guarantee a particular result on a third-party AI checker. The Authenticity Score you see is measured against TextSight's own detector, not anyone else's. The honest aim is a resume that reads as your real work because it is, used responsibly.

It is not: a source of fabricated achievements

The rewriter never invents a job, a metric, a tool, or a responsibility you did not enter. It rephrases what you give it and preserves the facts. Because a resume is a document you are accountable for, you should read every reworked line and confirm it is accurate before submitting. We show you no made-up scores and we put no made-up accomplishments on your resume.

FAQ

Resume checker questions people actually ask.

What does the TextSight resume checker actually do?
It runs two real capabilities on your resume text. First, the AI detector scans the text and shows which lines read like generic AI output versus your own writing, with sentence-level highlights. Second, the AI rewriter helps you rework the flagged lines in your own voice while keeping your facts, dates, titles, and metrics intact. You then re-scan to see whether the flagged lines now read as your own. It is a check-and-polish loop, not a fill-in-the-blanks resume builder and not an ATS pass guarantee.
Why would I check a resume for AI in 2026?
Many recruiters and hiring platforms now run AI-likelihood checks on applications, and a resume that reads as obvious AI boilerplate can undercut a strong candidate. The bigger reason is clarity: AI-drafted bullets tend toward the same hollow phrasing (results-driven professional, leveraged synergies, spearheaded initiatives) that says little about what you actually did. Checking the resume surfaces both the AI-pattern risk and the vague lines, so you can replace them with specific, true accomplishments in your own words.
Will this make my resume undetectable to AI checkers?
No, and we do not frame it that way. No tool can guarantee a specific result on a third-party AI checker, and chasing that is the wrong goal. The Authenticity Score you see is measured against TextSight's own detector, not anyone else's. The honest aim is a resume that reads as your real work because it is your real work, rewritten in your own voice. That tends to read as human to both people and detectors, but the value is the genuine clarity, not a bypass claim.
Does rewriting a flagged bullet change my facts?
The rewriter is built to preserve meaning: job titles, employer names, dates, tools, and the numbers in your bullets are kept. It changes phrasing and rhythm, not facts. That said, a resume is a legal-adjacent document, so you should always read every rewritten line and confirm it is accurate before you submit. The rewriter never invents an achievement, a metric, or a responsibility you did not enter. If a number is wrong after a rewrite, you typed it wrong, not the tool.
Is the resume checker free?
Yes, you can start free. The free tier includes 3 detector scans per day at up to 5,000 characters per scan, which is enough to check most one-page and two-page resumes, plus rewriter access with Light and Balanced modes. Maximum mode and higher monthly rewriter quotas start on the Starter plan at $9.99/month ($7.49 annual). Most job seekers finish a resume pass on the free tier. See the pricing page for full tier details.
Can I paste my whole resume, or do I go section by section?
Both work. You can paste the full resume text to get an overall read and see every flagged line at once, which is the fastest way to find the weak spots. For the rewrite step, working one section or one bullet at a time gives you tighter control, because you can compare the original and the reworked version line by line and keep the lines that already sound like you. Most people scan the whole document first, then rewrite only the flagged lines.
Does the resume checker fix formatting or ATS parsing?
No. TextSight works on the text of your resume, not the file layout. It will not fix columns, tables, headers, fonts, or how an applicant tracking system parses your PDF or DOCX. For layout and parsing you want a dedicated resume builder or an ATS-formatting tool. TextSight's job is the words: whether they read as AI boilerplate or as your own voice, and whether they say something specific. Use both kinds of tool together.
