Modulate Deepfake Detection API is a cloud-based service that identifies AI-generated or manipulated speech in audio streams. It ranks #1 on the Hugging Face Speech Deepfake Arena leaderboard with a 1.1% Equal Error Rate (EER), achieving 98.9% accuracy across 14 datasets. The API processes audio in under 2.5 seconds and requires only 2.5 seconds of audio to make a determination, making it suitable for real-time applications. It is priced at $0.25 per hour of audio analyzed, which the vendor claims is over 100x cheaper than competitors. The model uses 316 million parameters, significantly fewer than some rival models, while maintaining higher accuracy. In addition to deepfake detection, the platform offers complementary models for speech-to-text transcription, emotion detection, accent detection, PII redaction, and conversation analytics. The service is available immediately with 40 free hours of usage and no sales conversation required.
