Credibility analysis — common questions
Direct answers about how the YouTube Legitimacy Checker scores trustworthiness and what the score means.
TruthLens reads the video transcript and metadata, checks claims against known facts and reliable sources, scores the channel's authority, and inspects tone and framing patterns. Each signal feeds into a single credibility score with an explanation of why.
Yes. Analyzing public YouTube videos 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 channel 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 the public YouTube stream 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.
