[KEY FEATURES] βΈ 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 (0β100). βΈ 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. βΈ 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. βΈ 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. βΈ 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. βΈ History & Spotlight Search All results are stored locally.
