Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a first device, the method comprising:
- automatically monitoring broadcast information;
automatically detecting a trigger within the broadcast information;
converting at least a portion of the broadcast information related to the trigger into searchable information;
in response to automatically detecting the trigger, automatically fact checking the broadcast information related to the trigger by comparing the searchable information with information from one or more sources;
automatically causing an indication of a status of the broadcast information to be displayed on a second device, the indication based on a result of the comparison of the searchable information with the information from the one or more sources.

Abstract
A fact checking system is able to verify the correctness of information and/or characterize information by comparing the information with one or more sources. The fact checking system automatically monitors, processes, fact checks information and indicates a status of the information. The fact checking system is able to operate selectively, for example, only fact checking information after detecting a trigger.
