Misinformation spreads fast on short-form video. A TikTok about health, finance or current events can rack up millions of views before anyone checks whether the claims are true. Now you can fact-check any video in under 30 seconds — paste the URL, get the transcript, and let AI cross-reference it against live web sources.
Why Video Is Hard to Fact-Check
Text articles have always been easy to verify — copy a sentence, search it, done. Video is different. You can't ctrl+F a video. You'd have to watch it, take notes, then search each claim manually. That friction means most people don't bother.
Transcription changes that. Once a video is in text form, it becomes searchable, quotable, and — critically — analyzable by AI. That's exactly what Dokitscript's Research AI does.
The 4 Research AI Tools
After transcribing any video, Dokitscript gives you four AI research tools powered by real-time web search:
Fact-check
Identifies the main claims in the transcript and checks each one against current web sources. Returns a verdict (accurate / misleading / unverifiable) with citations.
Learn more
Goes deeper on the topic of the video. Returns context, background information and related facts — with sources — to help you understand the full picture.
Find sources
Finds the original sources behind the claims in the video — studies, articles, official reports — so you can read the primary material yourself.
Ask a question
Type any question about the video and get an AI answer sourced from the web in real time. Ask anything — "Is this claim supported by any studies?"
