Question 1

Is BSmeter a Doğruluk Payı alternative?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, not really — they solve different problems. Doğruluk Payı is a human fact-checking newsroom focused on Turkish political and economic claims, with editors, expert consultation, and IFCN-verified methodology behind every verdict. BSmeter is an automated AI tool that checks any video or podcast on any topic on demand. If you want a rigorous, citable verdict on a Turkish politician's statement, Doğruluk Payı is the better source. If you want to check the video you're watching right now — and it isn't Turkish politics — that's what BSmeter is for. Many people are best served using both.

Question 2

Can Doğruluk Payı fact-check a YouTube video or podcast for me?

Accepted Answer

Not on request. Doğruluk Payı sets its own editorial agenda, verifying claims its editors select — primarily statements by Turkish politicians, along with viral misinformation. It is text-first claim journalism, not a self-serve tool, so there is no way to submit a link and get a verdict back. BSmeter is designed for exactly that: paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link and it transcribes the audio, extracts each verifiable claim, and scores it 0-100 with evidence linked.

Question 3

Which one is more accurate?

Accepted Answer

For Turkish political claims, Doğruluk Payı's process is more rigorous by design — human editors cross-checking official data and reports, consulting experts, publishing a transparent five-point rating, and correcting errors under IFCN principles. BSmeter trades some of that rigor for speed and reach: it cross-references claims against live web sources and links its evidence so you can verify the reasoning yourself, but it is automated and can get things wrong. Treat BSmeter as a fast, broad first pass, and a human fact-checker as the authority when the stakes are high.
