TruthLens

AI-driven misinformation detection

TruthLens — AI-Assisted Fact-Checking While You Browse TruthLens is a browser extension that helps users evaluate online claims, articles, text, images, and documents 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 and supporting context directly within the browser. Key Features • Text Verification — Enter or paste a written claim or short passage directly into TruthLens for fact-checking. The extension analyzes the submitted text using available evidence and returns a verification result. • URL Fact-Checking — Submit an article or webpage URL for analysis. TruthLens evaluates claims using available web evidence and fact-checking sources and may return a result such as Fact, Fake, Misleading, Satire, Unverified, or Out of Scope. • Image Snipping & OCR — Select part of the visible webpage using the built-in snipping tool. TruthLens extracts text from screenshots, posts, images, or infographics and analyzes the underlying claim. • Image Claim Verification — Upload a supported image containing a claim, screenshot, post, or other visual information. TruthLens analyzes the content of the image and evaluates identifiable factual claims. • AI-Generated Image Analysis — Use TruthLens to analyze visual content for signals associated with AI-generated imagery. Results include an estimated AI-generation likelihood, an automated analysis, and important limitations of the detection process. • Document Verification — Upload supported PDF, DOCX, or TXT documents containing textual claims for analysis through the TruthLens verification pipeline. • In-Page Results — Verification results can appear directly on the webpage you are viewing, including the result, AI-generated summary, confidence information when applicable, and available supporting sources. • Supporting Sources — TruthLens surfaces evidence used during verification and provides access to additional sources and more detailed analysis when available. • 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.
