# Fact Checker

The **Fact Checker** in Originality.ai helps you identify statements in your content that may require verification. This feature is designed to assist writers, editors, educators, and publishers by highlighting claims that could benefit from fact-checking before publication.

By reviewing potentially questionable or unverifiable statements, you can improve the accuracy and credibility of your content.

## How to Run a Fact Check

Using the Fact Checker in Originality.ai is simple:
1. Log in to your Originality.ai account.
2. Paste your content or upload a document.
3. Select the **Fact Checker** option.
4. Start the scan.
5. Review the highlighted statements that may require verification.
You can then review these statements and confirm their accuracy before publishing or sharing your content.

## Understanding the Results

The Fact Checker highlights statements that appear factual or specific enough to warrant verification. These highlights do not necessarily mean the information is incorrect—only that the statement may benefit from confirmation.
When reviewing results, consider:
* Verifying claims using reliable sources
* Adding citations or references where appropriate
* Revising statements if they are uncertain or outdated

## What the Fact Checker Does

The Fact Checker analyzes your content and identifies statements that may require verification. It focuses on claims that appear factual and may need supporting evidence or confirmation.
During a scan, the tool may:
* Highlight statements that may need verification
* Flag claims that could require supporting sources
* Identify content that may benefit from fact-checking
This helps you quickly locate areas in your content where additional research or confirmation may be useful.

* Articles and blog posts
* Educational or academic content
* Research summaries
* News-style or informational writing
* AI-generated content
Running a fact-check review can help reduce the risk of publishing incorrect or misleading information.
