1. Motivation
During meetings, participants frequently share data, statistics, market claims, history and technical information that may require verification. Currently, users must either web search during meetings or manually fact-check themselves the transcript afterward, creating delays, distractions and potential mistakes. Instead, users need a simple, on-demand way to verify specific meetings or transcripts only when it matters to them, avoiding unnecessary processing while enhancing decision-making quality and confidence.
2. Feature Request
Implement an on-demand
Fact-Checker
that generates lightweight verification reports for recorded meetings. This feature is intentionally not real-time or automatic: It runs only when the user explicitly selects the Fact-Checker option for a given meeting transcript. When activated, the system would:
  • Extract verifiable claims from transcripts (dates, statistics, historical facts, scientific statements)
  • Cross-reference information against reliable public databases
  • Produce a brief report highlighting supported, refuted, or conflicting claims
  • Display confidence levels with source citations
The report should be concise and actionable, not exhaustive like academic fact-checking tools.
See attached example below
3. Implementation
Integrate a backend evidence-based verification system using free public data sources, for instance:
The system would process transcripts post-recording, identify factual statements using NLP, query relevant databases, and generate a summary report showing verification status (Supported/Refuted/Conflicting) with percentage confidence and source links.
This feature would differentiate Hedy by providing professional users additional control for high-stakes meetings where accuracy and ethics matter, and helps avoid the spread of misinformation.
