TruthLens

TruthLens — AI-Assisted Fact-Checking While You Browse TruthLens is a browser extension that helps users evaluate online claims, articles, images, and other content without leaving the page they are viewing. Using AI-assisted analysis, optical character recognition (OCR), web evidence retrieval, fact-check sources, and community verification, TruthLens provides credibility assessments directly within the browser. Key Features • URL Fact-Checking — Submit an article or webpage URL for analysis. TruthLens evaluates the claim using available web evidence and fact-checking sources and returns a verdict such as Fact, Fake, Misleading, Satire, or Unverified. • Image Snipping & OCR — Select part of the visible webpage using the built-in snipping tool. TruthLens extracts text from the selected image or infographic and analyzes the underlying claim. • AI-Generated Image Analysis — Submit supported images for analysis of indicators associated with AI-generated or manipulated visual content. • File Verification — Analyze supported documents containing textual claims through the TruthLens verification pipeline. • In-Page Results — Verification results can appear directly on the webpage you are viewing, including the verdict, explanation, confidence information, and available supporting sources. • TruthLens Community Integration — Signed-in users can connect the extension with the TruthLens Web Community Platform to access community verification features, claim history, evidence, and reputation features. • Guest Mode — An account is not required to perform supported scans. A limited number of recent guest scan results may be stored locally and can be synchronized after signing in.
