InVIDtyökalua

InVIDtyökalua, often referred to as the InVID Verification Plugin, is a browser extension designed to aid journalists and researchers in the verification of digital content, particularly videos and images. It was developed as part of the InVID project, an EU-funded initiative aimed at combating fake news and disinformation. The plugin offers a suite of tools to analyze multimedia content, helping users assess its authenticity and origin.

Key features of InVIDtyökalua include the ability to perform reverse image searches, extract key frames from videos, and analyze metadata associated with the content. It also provides tools for video decomposition, allowing users to break down a video into individual frames for closer examination. The plugin integrates with various social media platforms, enabling users to quickly analyze content shared on these sites. It aims to streamline the verification process, making it more efficient for professionals working in newsrooms and research institutions. The development of InVIDtyökalua was driven by the growing need for reliable methods to discern credible information from false or misleading content circulating online.
