About YouTube Lens - AI Fact Checker

Fact check YouTube videos while you watch. YouTube AI Fact Checker listens to spoken content, identifies checkable claims, searches the web for relevant evidence, and shows clear verdicts with clickable source links beside the video.

The extension is designed for news videos, podcasts, interviews, debates, documentaries, lectures, explainers, Shorts, and live streams where spoken claims deserve a closer look. Key features • Live transcription and claim detection for YouTube videos • AI analysis supported by current web evidence • Clear verdict cards with plain language explanations and direct source links • Multiple returned claims remain visible as separate results • Timestamps that connect a claim to the moment it was spoken • Speaker naming that keeps claim attribution clear in the transcript and results • A transcript panel for reviewing the captured discussion • History for completed video checks and source backed results • Trusted and blocked source preferences • Managed transcription, search, and AI with no provider keys or API setup How it works 1. Open a YouTube video, Short, or live stream. 2. Start and add the speaker name when attribution matters. 3.
