DeepVerify is a simple and effective app that helps people fact-check claims from sites in the browser or from YouTube. It was created with the desire to help users speed up the process of verifying data in real time. DeepVerify works as a Chrome extension and has the advantage of checking the facts of interest live, without having to leave the active page. It provides users with a clear verdict regarding the accuracy of the information, with additional information regarding sources that can be checked.
Fact-Checking That Happens in the Background
DeepVerify uses powerful algorithms, but everything is done in the background, so the end user enjoys fast results. There are several ways to use it, with the most straightforward solution being to highlight a debatable sentence on any website. The app sends the claim for verification and in less than 30 seconds returns with a verdict. There are three possible outcomes: verified, false, or uncertain, and each is accompanied by a confidence score.
Subscribers can also use it to automatically scan a page to distinguish between factual and fictional claims. DeepVerify also supports live audio, sourced directly from the browser tab or the user's microphone. Information is transcribed and then verified, so it works for everything from calls and live streams to YouTube videos. For the latter, the extension also reads the videos' captions, so users benefit from having a timestamp for faster access to the sequence of interest.
Whether it fact-checks text, audio, or videos, DeepVerify provides the conclusion in the same clear manner. The confidence score attached to the Verified, False, or Uncertain verdict has a list of the sources relied upon, so the user can double-check. This way of retrieving evidence also benefits users who rely on the app for academic research and journalism.
What You Get With DeepVerify
The app can be tested for free with a limited number of daily and monthly documents and access to basic features. Subscribers enjoy access to the full bundle, including the main features that make DeepVerify such an effective tool for fact-checking.
- Instant claim verification and automatic page scanning provide an immediate verdict regarding the authenticity of any written text.
- Live audio and video fact-checking transcribes microphone and browser tab audio in real time and evaluates any factual claims.
- Verdicts include the sources used to verify the claim, as well as a confidence score indicating the likelihood of deceitful content.
- Evidence and timeline graphs enable users to connect the facts and sources used in the process of fact-checking, relative to the time the evaluation was made.
- The sidebar workflow creates a convenient space for checking claims inside the browser, without hampering navigation, especially when rechecks are needed.

A Tool for Professionals and Everyday Users Alike
DeepVerify is an all-round tool that can be trusted by professionals, as well as everyday users. Regular people watching the news, politics, or various podcasts and YouTube channels can benefit from getting their facts straight. Developers can acquire the Factagora API, which is the verification engine behind DeepVerify, and use it to fact-check their own products.
Since no previous experience is needed and it's not necessary to pause and search, this instrument is both useful and intuitive. Given the influx of AI-generated text that sounds confident but lacks substance, anyone can benefit from using this Google Chrome extension. The way it was designed as a side panel rather than a pop-up makes DeepVerify easy to use for everyday browsing.
DeepVerify is fully compatible with Chrome Manifest V3 for desktop computers, and it can also be used on mobile. The app can be tested for free, with three documents per day and 20 per month, but this doesn't include the live audio mode. To unlock all the features, users can choose the Pro or Max subscription plans with higher limits and suitable for team usage.
Cutting Through the Noise
The lack of information is no longer the main concern nowadays, but the deluge of contradictory news and claims. Artificial intelligence has pushed this information into overdrive, overwhelming people and leaving them powerless against the flood of disinformation. DeepVerify addresses this issue with an easy-to-use an effective tool for anyone navigating the informational online jungle.
