TruthTeller. Debuting Truth Teller, a prototype from the Washington Post Truth Teller is a news application built by the Washington Post with funding from a Knight News Prototype grant.
The goal of Truth Teller is to fact check speeches in as close to real time as possible. The three-month prototype built by the Post is an enormous step in that direction. The genesis of Truth Teller was fairly well captured in this Poynter piece, which came out around the time the funding was announced. OWNI, News, Augmented.
