Rephrase.ai

Rephrase.ai is a Bengaluru-based generative-AI startup whose text-to-video platform, Rephrase Studio, turns plain text scripts into videos of digital human avatars ("actors") that speak the script with lip-synced, natural voices. It exposed a Rephrase Studio API for programmatic video generation (list actors and voices, create and export videos, poll video status) secured with OAuth2 bearer tokens. Backed by Techstars, Rephrase.ai was acquired by Adobe in November 2023 and its technology folded into Adobe's video and generative-AI offerings; the standalone product hosts have since been decommissioned, though the legacy API reference remains hosted on ReadMe. This profile is maintained by API Evangelist for historical and enrichment purposes.

Rephrase.ai publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Video, and Text to Video.

Rephrase.ai’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, and 6 more developer resources.
