Free ATS Resume Builder

Create a professionally formatted, ATS-optimized resume using AI. Based on Harvard resume guidelines, powered by LaTeX for pixel-perfect output.

What is ATS?

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. If your resume isn't ATS-friendly, it gets rejected — regardless of your qualifications.

SpeakCV generates resumes that are specifically engineered to pass ATS scans: proper section headers, no tables or graphics breaking parsers, strong keywords, quantified achievements, and Harvard-format structure.

How It Works

  1. 1
    Speak or upload your experience — Click the microphone and talk about your work history, education, skills, and projects. Or upload your existing resume (PDF/DOCX). Or both.
  2. 2
    Review and edit your input — Fix any speech recognition errors and add missing details before generating.
  3. 3
    AI generates your resume — Our AI creates a Harvard-format LaTeX resume, compiles it to PDF, and scores it on 5 ATS dimensions.
  4. 4
    Iterate until perfect — Use "Regenerate" or "Improve This Version" to refine your resume. Each suggestion has a "Quick Fix" button.
