Reality Defender

What it does

Reality Defender is a deepfake detection platform for audio, video, and images. Its products cover submitted files, live calls, virtual meetings, and browser-based review. This profile centers on RealAPI, which lets an application send media for analysis without building its own detection models.

Teams typically use RealAPI to screen submitted images, audio, and video, uploading through an SDK or REST and combining each Authentic, Suspicious, or Manipulated result with the identity, risk, or moderation data they already hold. Companion products cover RealCall for contact centers, RealMeeting for virtual meetings, and RealScan for browser review.

The free plan includes 50 image and audio scans per month, while video analysis is on paid plans. A $399 plan lists 1,000 scans per month, and custom pricing is available for scale. The API handles uploaded and recorded media only and does not verify identity or fact-check content.

What it can do

• Detect AI-generated or manipulated audio, video, and images in submitted files
• Flag synthetic speech in IVR and live contact-center calls
• Analyze audio and video during virtual meetings
• Return Authentic, Suspicious, or Manipulated results with supporting detail
• Provide SDKs in Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and Java alongside REST

Before you choose

• RealAPI analyzes uploaded and recorded media only; live phone calls require the contact-center product.
• RealAPI does not verify identity or fact-check content; combine results with your own identity and risk systems.
• Video analysis is available on paid plans, not the free plan.
