Join the Android betaThe needle moves only when the sources do.
Every factual claim gets one of five readings. When the sources can’t settle it, TokChek says so instead of guessing.
- ContradictedThe sources say otherwise.
- Somewhat contradictedMostly at odds with the sources, with some truth in it.
- MixedCredible sources disagree, or half of it holds.
- Somewhat supportedClose, with a detail that doesn’t hold.
- Fully supportedThe sources back it up.
Not enough evidence No credible source settles it yet, which is not the same as false.
Can’t be resolved as stated The claim has more than one reasonable reading.

Check

Rules TokChek never breaks
- Opinions are never scored. They’re shown for what they are, and so are predictions, questions and quotations.
- A failed check is never a verdict. When a search fails, TokChek says so and tries again.
- Every result shows its sources. Open any reading to see the passages it rests on.
- Corrections stay on the record. When a result changes, its earlier versions remain visible.
- You decide what’s recorded. Only you can see your sessions, and you can delete them, or your whole account, at any time.
