  • Smart Capitalization

    Enforces Title Case headings and Sentence case descriptions — job titles, degrees, and proper nouns capitalized correctly.

  • Tech Term Recognition

    Fixes capitalization for technologies and brands: JavaScript, Node.js, SaaS, iPhone, and hundreds of other terms, automatically.

  • Formatting Consistency

    Removes stray periods from bullet points and keeps formatting consistent for a polished, professional look.

  • Professional Phrasing

    Keeps active voice and professional tone, fixing awkward phrasing while preserving your meaning and technical accuracy.

  • Context-Aware Checking

What is an AI resume grammar checker?

An AI resume grammar checker reviews resume content for grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and wording issues. It uses resume-focused language rules so suggestions fit bullet-point writing, role titles, and results-driven phrasing used in professional job applications.
Learn

How does context-aware resume spelling work?

Context-aware resume spelling validates words using nearby resume content, not only dictionary matches. It keeps correct acronyms, technologies, and company terms, then flags likely mistakes based on section context, capitalization conventions, and common professional writing patterns.

Built on three core truths

  • Truthful Alignment

    We never invent experience. Opti extracts your actual achievements and reframes them to match the employer's vocabulary.

  • Full-Resume Synchronization

    Opti doesn't just rewrite one bullet; it balances your entire resume's narrative to fit the role perfectly.

  • Secure API Processing

    Your career data is securely processed by our advanced backend optimization engine to ensure maximum ATS compatibility.

What is an AI resume optimizer?

An AI resume optimizer analyzes your existing resume alongside a target job description to restructure, rephrase, and highlight the most relevant achievements. It ensures your resume speaks the same language as the employer's ATS and hiring manager, increasing relevance without inventing new experience.
Learn

How does ATS resume tailoring work?

ATS resume tailoring works by matching your resume's semantic content against the keywords, skills, and responsibilities listed in a job posting. The optimizer then reframes your existing bullets to surface those matches prominently, improving your resume's ranking in Applicant Tracking Systems.

  1. 01HeyCV basics

    Learn

    What is HeyCV?

    HeyCV is a free, local-first AI resume builder that lets you create, edit, and export ATS-friendly resumes to PDF and TXT with no signup required. Your data stays on your device by default, with optional Pro AI tools for Google X-Y-Z bullet tailoring and technical grammar checking.

  2. 02HeyCV basics

    Learn

    Is HeyCV completely free?

    HeyCV lets you build, customize, and download a professional resume entirely for free. Advanced features like AI grammar checking and AI optimization are available as transparent premium upgrades, along with optional cloud sync for access across devices.

  3. 03HeyCV basics

    Learn

    Do I need to sign up or create an account to use HeyCV?

    No account creation or signup is required to build and export a resume. Your resume is stored on your device by default. Account creation is only needed if you want optional cloud sync or Pro features.

  4. 04HeyCV basics

    Learn

    How does offline mode work?

    HeyCV saves your changes locally on your own device as you type. This means you can edit, format, and organize your resumes with absolutely no internet connection required. Any cloud features you have turned on will update automatically as soon as you are reconnected.

  5. 05HeyCV basics

    Learn

    What does the AI grammar checker analyze?

    The built-in assistant reviews your writing to catch spelling mistakes, correct grammar errors, and improve sentence structures. It helps swap out generic phrases for strong, professional action words that catch a hiring manager's eye. Grammar checking is an opt-in AI feature that processes your resume over an encrypted connection — nothing is stored on our servers unless you enable cloud sync.

  6. 06HeyCV basics

    Learn

    Are my resumes stored on a public server?

    No. Your resumes are kept entirely private on your own device. If you choose to enable our optional cloud backup features, your information is sent over highly secure, encrypted pathways straight to your private account where only you can view or edit it.
