[VeriCite β€” Academic Citation Verifier] AI writing tools are powerful, but they hallucinate. Fabricated paper titles, invented authors, non-existent DOIs β€” these "hallucinated citations" look convincing but lead nowhere. VeriCite automates the tedious manual verification process, cross-checking multiple authoritative academic databases in seconds. [KEY FEATURES] β–Έ Citation Verification Paste any citation in any format (APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, etc.). VeriCite automatically detects DOIs and PMIDs, queries databases in sequence, and returns a verification status with a confidence score (0–100). β–Έ Batch Verification Paste multiple citations at once. VeriCite splits and verifies them in parallel, with real-time progress tracking and a confidence score distribution chart. β–Έ OCR Scan Input Point your camera at a bibliography page or pick an image from your photo library. The Vision framework extracts the text and feeds it directly into the verification pipeline β€” no typing required. β–Έ Field-by-Field Diff See exactly where your citation diverges from the database record β€” title, authors, year, journal β€” all flagged clearly so you know precisely what's wrong. β–Έ Export in Multiple Formats Export your verification history as plain text, CSV, BibTeX, APA, MLA, or Chicago β€” ready to paste into your paper or import into any reference manager. β–Έ History & Spotlight Search All results are stored locally. Filter by status, re-verify any entry, and find past results instantly via iOS Spotlight search.
