Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Fixed response JSON fields are documented. No caller-supplied constrained generation schema has been verified.

Batch processing
SupportedSource for Batch processing (opens in a new tab)

Synchronous file-processing endpoint; this does not imply asynchronous multi-file jobs or a discounted text batch API.

Context caching
Not collected

No discounted prompt-cache or persistent model-cache contract verified for these audio endpoints. Streaming buffers, stored clips and per-session speaker labels are not prompt caching.

Maximum audio file
100 MB per prerecorded uploadSource for Maximum audio file (opens in a new tab)
Billing conditions
Per audio hour, with separate batch/live rates where published; see endpoint rates for optional enrichment chargesSource for Billing conditions (opens in a new tab)
Transcript redaction
Sensitive transcript spans become marker tags and matching source-audio ranges are silencedSource for Transcript redaction (opens in a new tab)

This is source-audio processing, not text-to-speech. Tags on the normal transcription endpoint preserve sensitive text and are a different feature.

Custom vocabulary
Not supportedSource for Custom vocabulary (opens in a new tab)

Dedicated redaction endpoints do not accept custom_terms.

Output formats
Batch multipart response containing JSON metadata and redacted MP3; streaming returns per-utterance metadata and redacted MP3 clipsSource for Output formats (opens in a new tab)

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Modulate Models API · batch

Provider source (opens in a new tab)
API model ID
/api/velma-2-pii-phi-redaction-batch

Endpoint path selects the served family; not a request model parameter or immutable checkpoint ID.

Access
POST https://platform.modulate.ai/api/velma-2-pii-phi-redaction-batch with X-API-Key and multipart upload_file. Response is synchronous.
Regions
Public endpoint deployment region and regional routing are not specified in the reviewed API contract.
Output modalities
Text, Audio, Classification metadataSource for Output modalities (opens in a new tab)
Concurrent requests
Authentication guide default: 3 in-flight requests/connections per model; organization-specific limits may differSource for Concurrent requests (opens in a new tab)

Pricing lists 5 for some detectors. Confirm the applicable organization quota; English diarized streaming may have a lower ceiling than plain transcription.

Maximum audio file
100 MB per prerecorded uploadSource for Maximum audio file (opens in a new tab)
API request fields
upload_file, speaker_diarization, start_redaction_padding_ms, end_redaction_padding_ms, languageSource for API request fields (opens in a new tab)

Only fields present in this endpoint’s reviewed request schema. A provider marketing option is not automatically a valid form field.

Audio formats
AAC, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, MP4, MOV, OGG, Opus, WAV, WebMSource for Audio formats (opens in a new tab)

Container acceptance implies processing its audio track, not video understanding.

Output formats
multipart/form-dataSource for Output formats (opens in a new tab)
Research controls
speaker_diarization=true by default; start_redaction_padding_ms defaults 100 and end_redaction_padding_ms defaults 0; optional language hintSource for Research controls (opens in a new tab)

Rate conditions

  1. Published self-service hourly audio rate, credit-based billing; taxes and negotiated enterprise terms are separate. Optional feature surcharges, where applicable, require the provider’s current account conditions. No text-token rate or cost per question is inferred.

Data & enterprise terms

Terms: standard API content and outputs are not retained unless storage is enabled or required by the feature; stored content defaults to 35 days, with separately retained usage metadata and temporary residual backup/log copies. Self-service accounts are automatically enrolled in model improvement. FAQ narrows training to audio marked for storage; enterprise participation and opt-out depend on the agreement. Accent documents a per-request training_permitted=false opt-out. Do not infer a universal no-training or immediate-deletion guarantee.

API model ID
/api/velma-2-pii-phi-redaction-streaming

Endpoint path selects the served family; not a request model parameter or immutable checkpoint ID.

Access
Connect to wss://platform.modulate.ai/api/velma-2-pii-phi-redaction-streaming with api_key in the WebSocket query. Send the endpoint-specific audio/config frames and finish with its documented end-of-stream signal.
Regions
Public endpoint deployment region and regional routing are not specified in the reviewed API contract.
Output modalities

Concurrent requests

Pricing lists 5 for some detectors. Confirm the applicable organization quota; English diarized streaming may have a lower ceiling than plain transcription.

Audio sample rates
8,000 Hz, 11,025 Hz, 16,000 Hz, 22,050 Hz, 32,000 Hz, 44,100 Hz, 48,000 Hz, 96,000 HzSource for Audio sample rates (opens in a new tab)

Accepted raw transport rates; not separate model variants or a claimed native model sample rate.

Audio channels
1–8 input channels for raw audioSource for Audio channels (opens in a new tab)

Input channel count does not establish multichannel speaker identity preservation.

Audio formats
Compressed containers and raw PCM/μ-law/A-law; use the exact audio_format enum in this endpoint’s documentationSource for Audio formats (opens in a new tab)

Raw formats require sample_rate and num_channels; supported formats and first-frame rules vary by endpoint.

Output formats
Interleaved JSON metadata and binary MP3 framesSource for Output formats (opens in a new tab)

A binary frame follows an utterance only when redacted_audio is non-null. The done event can also be followed by trailing audio when trailing_redacted_audio is non-null. Do not parse the entire stream as JSON.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Modulate presents these as its Velma model suite and audio-native proprietary technology. Its terms retain rights in algorithms and models and license hosted inference, with no public weight artifact identified. Entries represent the named closed managed model families, including ensembles, not invented individual internal checkpoints.
