Everything you need to know, with real examples.

What does this do?

Fact Check Analyzer checks whether a statement is true or false — using AI to search evidence and reason through it.

You type a claim. It gives you a verdict, a confidence score, an explanation, and the sources it used. You can also upload a document — a PDF, spreadsheet, or report — and check claims about what's inside it.

It works best for: historical facts, science claims, statistics, document contents.

It cannot check: opinions, questions, math, or breaking news from the last few weeks.

Step by step

1

Choose your input type

At the top of the page you'll see tabs: Text · PDF · CSV · DOCX · Markdown. If you just want to check a statement, leave it on Text. If you have a document you want to check a claim against, pick the matching file type.
2

Type your claim as a statement, not a question

A claim is a sentence that can be true or false. Don't ask a question — make a statement.

How tall is Mount Everest? (question — won't work)

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth. (statement — works)

3

Click "Analyze"

The AI checks your claim against evidence. This usually takes 5–15 seconds. You'll see a loading indicator while it works.
4

Read your result

You'll get back four things:
  • Verdict— True, False, Disputed, or Unverifiable
  • Confidence— how certain the AI is, from 0% to 100%
  • Reasoning— a plain-English explanation of why
  • Sources— links to the evidence used (for text claims)
5

Leave feedback (optional)

At the bottom of the result you'll see thumbs up / thumbs down buttons. If the result was helpful or wrong, let us know — it helps improve the system over time.

What results look like

Example 1 — a false claim

The Great Wall of China is visible from space with the naked eye.

False95% confidence
95%

Astronauts and NASA have consistently confirmed the Great Wall is not visible from low Earth orbit with the naked eye — it is too narrow. Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei confirmed this after his 2003 spaceflight.

  • NASA — Visible EarthHIGH
  • Scientific AmericanMEDIUM

Example 2 — a true claim

Humans share approximately 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees.

True92% confidence
92%

Genetic research consistently shows humans and chimpanzees share roughly 98–99% of their DNA sequences. This is supported by multiple genome sequencing studies including the 2005 chimpanzee genome project.

  • National Human Genome Research InstituteHIGH

Example 3 — not enough evidence

There is liquid water on Europa.

Unverifiable55% confidence
55%

Strong indirect evidence — including magnetic field readings from the Galileo spacecraft — suggests a subsurface ocean beneath Europa's ice shell. However, no mission has yet directly confirmed the presence of liquid water. This remains an active area of research.

What gets rejected — and why

Not everything can be fact-checked. If your input doesn't fit, you'll see a rejection card explaining why.

How long do dolphins live?

That's a question, not a claim

Rephrase it as a statement: "Dolphins can live up to 50 years."

Pineapple belongs on pizza.

That's an opinion

Opinions cannot be true or false — there is no evidence to check.

Write me a summary of World War 2.

That's not a fact-checkable claim

This is a task, not a statement. Try: "World War 2 ended in 1945."

Checking claims against a document

You can upload a file and check whether a specific claim about it is true or false. The AI reads your document and verifies the claim against what's actually in it — not from general knowledge.

📄PDF

Contracts, reports, research papers. Any PDF with readable text.

Example claim: The contract expires on 31 December 2025.

📊CSV

Spreadsheets and data files. The AI computes totals automatically.

Example claim: Total revenue across all months is $62,375.

📝DOCX

Word documents — meeting notes, proposals, agreements.

Example claim: The report recommends expanding the sales team.

🗒️Markdown

Markdown files — documentation, README files, notes.

Example claim: The monthly retainer is $12,500.

How to use file upload:

  1. 1.Select the matching tab (PDF, CSV, DOCX, or Markdown)
  2. 2.Drag and drop your file, or click to browse
  3. 3.Type your claim about the document's contents
  4. 4.Click "Analyze"

Your file is deleted from our servers immediately after analysis. Nothing is stored.

Example — checking a CSV file

Total units sold across all months exceeds 5,000.

False100% confidence
100%

Based on the uploaded data table, the total units sold across all months is 1,935 — well below 5,000. The column summary confirms: Units Sold sum = 1,935.

Understanding the verdict

True

The claim is supported by credible evidence.

False

The claim is contradicted by credible evidence.

Disputed

Credible sources disagree — no clear consensus exists.

Unverifiable

There isn't enough reliable evidence to make a determination either way.

What the confidence score means

90–100%Overwhelming consensus — very high certainty
70–89%Strong evidence with minor uncertainty
50–69%Reasonable evidence but notable debate
30–49%Limited or conflicting evidence
0–29%Almost no reliable evidence available

Tips for better results

Be specific

"Usain Bolt ran the 100m in 9.58 seconds" works better than "Usain Bolt is very fast".

One claim at a time

Check claims separately. "Einstein failed maths and was born in Germany" is two claims.

Use statements, not questions

"The Amazon is the longest river" not "Is the Amazon the longest river?"

For documents, quote exactly

The closer your claim is to what the document actually says, the more precise the result.

Low confidence doesn't mean wrong

A low confidence score means evidence is limited, not that the claim is false.
