Deepfake detection. Aletheia checks a recording for AI-generated speech and tells you whether the voice is real, fake or not sure.

Is this a real voice? That is the question Aletheia answers. Use it through the REST API or the MCP server, with the same API key as the other products.

What it does

  • Checks one recording, longer than 4 seconds and at most 120 seconds, in any of the supported formats.
  • Answers with a verdict for the whole recording: real, fake or not_sure.
  • Scores consecutive parts of the recording too, so you can see which parts sound AI-generated.
  • Runs on its own, or together with an Eidos speaker verification on the same recording.

Field Meaning
result.verdict The decision: real, fake (likely AI-generated) or not_sure. Decide with this field.
result.score How likely the recording is AI-generated, from 0 to 1 (higher means more likely). Decide with verdict, not the score alone.
result.segments Scores for consecutive, overlapping parts of the recording, with start and end in seconds.
result.duration_seconds Length of the checked audio, in seconds.
result.label, result.is_synthetic The same decision in older wording (genuine, synthetic, uncertain), kept for older clients.
operation_id Fetch the result again later, for 30 days.
request_id Include it when you contact support.

The full list of fields is in Detect AI-generated speech.

Not sure

not_sure means the recording cannot be judged reliably. Try a longer or cleaner recording.

Recording length

The recording must be longer than 4 seconds and at most 120 seconds. A recording of 4 seconds or less is refused with 422 and the error code audio_too_short; one over 120 seconds with audio_too_long. Trim long recordings to the part you want checked.

Use the verdict well

  • A verdict is a strong signal, not proof. Use it with other checks, and have a person review decisions that matter.
  • Phone-quality audio (calls, voice messages) gives less reliable results than clear recordings.
  • The check is tuned for English speech.

Quickstart

Create an API key first (see Authentication), then send a recording as the multipart field file:

cURL
curl https://platform.detectif.ai/v1/deepfake/detect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DETECTIF_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -F "file=@clip.wav"

Send the same Idempotency-Key when you retry, and you get the stored result back instead of a second check.

With MCP, connect your assistant and ask:

Example
Check if /path/call.wav is AI-generated.
Example
Which parts of /path/call.wav sound AI-generated?

The assistant calls detect_deepfake with the recording and reads the verdict for you.

Uploaded files are stored for 30 days. Send store_audio=false (in MCP, the store_audio argument) to not store a file; see Privacy.

After the check

  • Fetch the result again. Results are kept for 30 days. Get a result (GET /v1/operations/{operation_id}, or the get_operation tool) returns it by its operation_id, for example when your connection dropped before the response arrived. It is shared with Eidos, so it is listed under Account.
  • Tell us whether it was right. Say whether a result was right sends correct, and optionally what the recording really is (real or fake) and a short note. Your answer is stored with the result, not the audio.
