About EchoSaid

Transparent Record of Public Statements

Our Mission

EchoSaid is an independent project that collects, verifies, and makes accessible public statements by politicians and public figures. Our goal is to create a transparent database of quotes with verifiable sources, helping citizens track what politicians have said and how their views change over time.

Methodology

Every quote in our database goes through a verification process:

  • Primary Source - Every quote must have a link to the original source (video, article, press release)
  • Verification - Moderators verify the authenticity of the source and accuracy of the citation
  • Date Precision - We indicate the precision of the date (day, month, year)
  • Quote Type - We distinguish between verbatim quotes and paraphrases
  • Archive - When possible, we archive sources in case they are removed

Trusted Sources

We prioritize these types of sources:

  • Official records (parliamentary broadcasts, press conferences)
  • Reputable news media
  • Wikiquote with cited references
  • Archive services (archive.org, archive.today)

Transparency

EchoSaid is a community project. Anyone can suggest a new quote or correct an existing one. All suggestions go through moderation before publication.
