Ghost Mic: A Live Fact-Checker for Podcasts, Panels, and Debates

Overview

Ghost Mic is a live fact-checking tool designed for podcasts, panels, debates, and real-time discussions. It listens to conversations and displays source-backed fact-checks on the user's screen in under two seconds. Optimized for speed using the Cerebras Inference API, the tool delivers instant context without interrupting the flow of conversation.

Benefits

Ghost Mic offers several key advantages for anyone who needs accurate information quickly. It delivers fact-checks, charts, perspectives, and sources in under two seconds. Every fact-check card includes a clickable source for immediate verification. Each card also displays a confidence level, such as 94 percent confident, to indicate reliability. The design is non-intrusive because fact-checks appear as on-screen cards. The tool never speaks or interrupts the conversation. It is privacy-focused because transcripts are processed in memory and not stored. Raw audio never touches a disk. Users can access the tool directly in their browser with no installation required. It is currently free during the beta phase with no credit card required.

Use Cases

Ghost Mic is built for a variety of situations where accuracy matters. Podcasters can use it to stay accurate without breaking the recording flow. Public speakers can have sources at hand while presenting. Debaters can catch factual slips the moment they happen. General users can find it useful for dinner-table arguments, panel Q&As, and any real-time discussion. To use the tool, users simply start talking by opening the app and beginning their conversation. Ghost Mic listens via their microphone. Fact-checks, charts, perspectives, and sources appear on the side of their screen. Users can save useful information and dismiss irrelevant content. The tool works alongside any recording tool like Zoom, Google Meet, or Riverside by listening to the microphone. It currently supports English only. If the model cannot ground a fact, the tool skips generating a card for that instance.

Pricing

Ghost Mic is free for a limited time while in beta. No credit card is required. The team will provide ample notice before any changes to the pricing model.

Vibes

During a recent demonstration, Ghost Mic corrected a common misconception about Llama 3. It clarified that the model was trained on 15 trillion tokens instead of 13 based on Meta's official announcement. This highlights the tool's ability to provide accurate, up-to-date information in real time. Users can visit app.ghostmic.net to try Ghost Mic during its beta phase.
