Modulate

Its flagship product, ToxMod, provides real-time analysis of live voice chat conversations to detect harassment, hate speech, threats, grooming behavior, and other harmful content giving platform operators the automated moderation capability needed to maintain safe, fair communities at a scale that human moderation alone cannot achieve.

Deployed in major titles including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and social VR platforms like RecRoom, Modulate addresses one of online gaming's most persistent unsolved problems.

ToxMod's technical approach sets it apart from earlier voice moderation solutions that relied primarily on speech-to-text transcription followed by text content analysis.

By analyzing voice directly listening to tone, intensity, escalation patterns, and interaction dynamics in addition to what is said ToxMod captures the full behavioral context of harmful interactions.

A player using technically innocuous words in an aggressive tone, repeating coordinated harassment patterns, or engaging in the escalating interaction sequences that precede the most harmful behaviors can be detected by ToxMod in ways that transcript-based systems miss entirely.

Modulate's core AI technology is built around Velma, the company's Ensemble Listening Model (ELM) a voice-native model that understands conversations the way humans do, with awareness of how something is said rather than just what words were used.

Velma is available both as the engine powering ToxMod's moderation platform and as direct APIs offering transcription and deepfake voice detection capabilities for developers building voice-related features and safety tools in their own applications.
