Field notes
The page separates document extraction from keyword comparison: the first pass runs in the browser, while the optional AI match sends extracted text for a single request. Its diagnostic surface names six parser trouble spots, from image-only scans and scrambled column order to headers, footers, and text embedded in icons. The FAQ also describes a feedback path that records passed or failed checks and a note without retaining resume text.
