Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.
On-premises biometric identity verification SDKs
Face recognition, face liveness, deepfake detection, ID document recognition, ID liveness, and a combined eKYC suite — pick only what you need.
Server SDKs run on your own Linux hardware or private cloud via Docker, with air-gapped and VPC-friendly options and no per-call charges.
iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native SDKs run matching and capture locally, including offline, so nothing is uploaded.
Layered passive and active liveness plus deepfake detection help stop presentation attacks and synthetic media.
