Modulate
Modulate is a voice AI company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, building audio-native voice intelligence for trust, safety, and conversation understanding. Its Velma-2 platform exposes a suite of REST (batch) and WebSocket (streaming) model APIs — multilingual and English speech-to-text transcription with speaker diarization, deepfake (synthetic voice) detection, emotion and accent detection, PII/PHI tagging and redaction, language detection, and music/speech and AI-music detection — alongside Velma conversation analysis (behaviors, topics, sentiment, participant roles) and the ToxMod voice-safety product for gaming and social platforms. Authentication is via an X-API-Key header (an api_key query parameter for WebSocket streams), billed per hour of audio processed. Backed by Sierra Ventures.
Modulate publishes 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Velma 2 Accent Batch API, Velma 2 Ai Music Detection Batch API, Velma 2 Batch API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Voice AI, Speech-to-Text, and Transcription.
The Modulate catalog on APIs.io includes 7 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Modulate’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 24 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biometrics Testing (biometric recognition vendors, identity verification depth) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
