Video Legitimacy FAQ

Credibility analysis — common questions

Direct answers about how the Video Legitimacy Checker scores trustworthiness and what the score means.

The Video Legitimacy Checker is a free AI tool that analyzes public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X videos or posts for credibility, misinformation, and editorial bias. It uses transcripts and metadata to score content against authoritative sources and returns a 0–100 trust score with highlighted red flags.

TruthLens reads the video transcript and/or metadata, checks claims against known facts and reliable sources, scores the channel/creator authority, and inspects tone and framing patterns. Each signal feeds into a single credibility score with an explanation of why.

Yes. Analyzing public videos and posts from supported platforms is free and does not require an account. Paid plans add longer videos, higher daily quotas, batch analysis, and downloadable PDF reports.

TruthLens flags clickbait framing, unsubstantiated claims, contradictions with authoritative sources, sensationalized tone, and low-credibility source signals. It does not render a binary 'true/false' verdict — it provides a probability score and supporting evidence.

TruthLens does not download or rehost the source video. It analyzes public content via metadata and transcripts and stores only the resulting report (score, flags, transcript snippets) under your account if you are signed in. Guest analyses are ephemeral.

TruthLens analyzes videos with English transcripts today and handles multilingual transcripts via auto-translation where available. Support for native non-English analysis is being expanded.
