Using the tools
Main points for this section.
The Headline Lab headline checker on Theary News Lab is free to use. It is provided for personal, non-commercial reading and does not require an account; there is no charge and no login.
Results are a guide
Table rows are listed below.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tools | Free to use, no account required |
| Results | For reference; not a verdict on whether a story is true |
A score from the Headline Lab, or a reading time from the site’s tools, is a prompt to look closer, not a fact-check; contact Theary News Lab with questions about how a specific result was produced.
Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the site’s tools and pages change; the date above shows the last update. Continued use of the tools after a change means the current terms apply.
