Hi everyone,
I’m excited to introduce my latest project: an Android app (with an iPhone version planned after initial development) designed for real-time fact-checking during conversations using AI. Imagine an AI assistant in your ear—via Bluetooth earbuds—that listens to discussions and instantly verifies the accuracy of what’s being said. This tool leverages Whisper API to transcribe conversations in real time and ChatGPT for immediate analysis, it will alert you immediately to inaccuracies as they occur.
Why It Matters
In today’s fast-paced information landscape, discerning truth from misinformation is more critical than ever.
Soon this app will empower you to:
- Engage in Informed Discussions: Confidently address inaccuracies and deepen conversations with verified facts.
- Identify Deception: Quickly recognize and disengage from false claims, guiding conversations toward truth or allowing you to disengage entirely when necessary.
Current Development:
-
Streamlined Transcription: I’ve developed a system that processes audio with minimal delay, feeding real-time transcriptions to ChatGPT for analysis. Responses are displayed as text in “Segmented Mode,” optimized for speed. This is the platform for future fact checking in real time I will be using.
-
The Proof of Concept – “Jeopardy Mode”: Initially, I created a mode using the game Jeopardy! The host’s clear speech provided an excellent proof of concept. Users manually start and stop audio capture, with analysis and answers delivered as quickly as the show’s contestants. This achieves a 70–75% accuracy rate—a result that even surprised my wife
.
Features & Future Plans:
- Real-Time Discrepancy Alerts:
Receive immediate audio alerts in your earbud when a factual error is detected. The alert will clearly explain the inaccuracy and provide accurate information based on verifiable historical data. Strict parameters ensure the system operates without bias. It will be designed for minimal interference, intervening only when a clear and demonstrable untruth is present. - Customizable Modes: I’m planning various playful modes—from role-playing scenarios (like pirate phrases that apply to the conversation in realtime) to humor integrations (pun detection and dad jokes) to wisdom modes like when you want to discuss and capitalize on peoples interest in things the bible or the tibetian/egyptian book of the dead, the bhagavad gita etc.
- Open-Source Collaboration: The entire app and its code are and will always be available for you to explore and contribute. All you need is a ChatGPT API key (very affordable, I’ve spent around $0.15 for extensive use so far), Android Studio (free), and an Android device. The app is designed to work with over 95% of Android devices.
Below are screenshots from a single module of code which I’ve attached to show why it is necessary to download the whole project then import it. The code is very long and there is a lot of code written on modular files that are easily overlooked but critical for the app to function properly. It would be very difficult to share them all in a text format and have some one else write them without error.
To use the app download the folder LowLatencyTranscriber from here:
Then goto Android Studio, click file, open and select the folder. Click synch project with gradle files then click run app.
Here is a demo of the app playing Jepordy:
Lastly, came across this image when I went to upload the project, I have no idea when I took this picture or how but needless to say I appreciate the synchronicity.

“It seems like the media immediately points a finger at me,
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie,
Or the ring or the thumb,
It’s the one you put up,
When you don’t give a f#ck,
when you won’t just,
Put up with the bullshit they pull,
'Cause they full of sh*t too”
…This is my way, this is my app, and this is just the beginning.
