Extension summary

User reviews
This was an incredibly informative tool to have while watching the presidential debate. I didn't find the pop-ups to be distracting. I'd like to see a feature that time-stamps each fact check so I could visually see where the fact checks occurred in a video. Exciting and promising technology. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Duke Reporter's Lab develops this further!
