AI-generated suggestions appear in real-time, which may be challenging for some screen reader users. We provide options to review suggestions at your own pace.

Complex Templates

Some resume template previews may not fully convey their visual design to screen reader users. We provide detailed text descriptions for all templates.

Third-Party Content

Content from third-party services (such as payment forms) may have varying levels of accessibility. We choose partners committed to accessibility but cannot guarantee their full compliance.
