About FactLens: Live Fact Checker

FactLens is an AI fact checker for Chrome that helps you verify claims while you watch, listen, read, or browse. Check spoken statements in videos, podcasts, streams, meetings, and other web audio. Review images, posts, and selected text without copying content into another tab. FactLens can transcribe spoken content, identify checkable claims, search the web for relevant evidence, and present the results in a focused panel. Each verdict includes a plain language explanation and clickable source links so you can review the evidence yourself. Three ways to check • Audio and Video checks spoken claims as they are heard • Images and Posts reviews visible images, screenshots, memes, charts, and social posts • Text Mode checks selected claims and can show multiple returned verdicts in one panel Useful features • Live transcription and claim detection for videos, podcasts, streams, lectures, debates, and meetings • Clear verdict cards with explanations, confidence details, and direct source links • Current web evidence that can support, contradict, or add context to a claim • Image questions for investigating a specific detail in a visual • Speaker names, saved claim history, speaker reports, and complete image result exports where supported • Searchable local history for completed checks • Trusted and blocked source preferences • Dark and light themes with flexible panel placement Control your providers Choose the AI, vision, transcription, and search providers you trust. FactLens supports separate provider routes for audio, video, images, posts, and text, giving advanced users control over how each stage works. Your provider keys stay on your device. FactLens Pro can synchronize safe settings such as provider names, routes, prompts, custom verdicts, appearance, fallback behavior, and eligible history across your signed in account. API keys are not uploaded through this sync. FactLens is built for people who want to investigate news, commentary, research, educational content, viral posts, and everyday claims without breaking their browsing flow. AI can make mistakes. FactLens helps you inspect evidence faster, but it does not replace primary sources or professional judgment. Always review the linked sources and independently verify important claims.
