Yes, you can check. Drop the clip into the detector and it returns the probability that the speech was generated by Coqui, a confidence level, and the named model, in under half a second. It reads the audio's synthesis signature, so it works on cloned and stock Coqui voices alike, and gives you a citation URL to quote.
What it is

Coqui, and why it shows up in suspicious audio

Coqui is a widely used open-source text-to-speech project whose XTTS models can clone a voice in many languages from a few seconds of audio. Because it is free and self-hostable, it turns up in hobbyist projects, indie tools, and occasionally impersonation, with no platform gatekeeping.

Open-source also means there is no account trail to follow: anyone can run it locally, so the audio itself is the only evidence, which is exactly where a detector earns its place.

Where you tend to see it: Self-hosted projects, indie apps, and cloned-voice impersonation.

Coqui is a legitimate product; misuse is the problem, not the tool. You can read about it on the official Coqui site.

How to tell a Coqui voice

The human ear is unreliable on current Coqui audio. These are the signals a detector weighs. We report which ones drove the verdict rather than handing you a bare number.

  • 01Multilingual cloning artifacts that a model reads even when the language sounds native.
  • 02Prosodic evenness across sentences a human speaker would vary.
  • 03Timbre that stays fixed where a real voice would drift.
  • 04Vocoder fingerprints in fricatives that survive re-encoding.

How the detector identifies Coqui

A verdict you can cite, not a vibe

The detector reads the audio, not the speaker. Cloning or stock voice, clean or compressed, it looks for the synthesis signature and attributes the source.

Step 1

Drop the clip

Upload a file or paste a URL. MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, or the audio track of a video. About half a second of clear speech is enough.

Step 2

The model scores it

The same model behind the public detector reads the acoustic signature and weighs the artifacts, then attributes the source, e.g. Coqui, when it recognizes it.

Step 3

Get a citable verdict

You get a probability, a confidence level, the named model, and a permanent citation URL you can quote, file, or subpoena.

What to do next

A verdict is evidence, not a verdict of intent. Save the result to get a permanent citation URL and a one-way audio fingerprint you can reference later without storing the file. If you are a journalist or investigator, cite the verdict alongside your own reporting; if this is a suspected scam, treat the contact as unverified and confirm through a channel you already trust. The FTC's advice on suspected scam calls is a sensible baseline.

Building this into a workflow? The API returns the same verdict as JSON with webhooks for bulk jobs, and the browser extension checks audio in place on WhatsApp Web, YouTube, and podcasts.

FAQ · Coqui

Common questions

Can you detect a Coqui XTTS cloned voice?
Yes. Cloning does not remove the underlying synthesis signature, though confidence still depends on audio quality and clip length.
Does self-hosting it evade detection?
No. The detector reads the audio, not the platform, so a locally run Coqui model is as detectable as a hosted one.
Is a single check free?
Yes, a single verdict is free with no card, showing the probability, confidence, and recognized source.
Can I check audio inside a video?
Yes. The detector reads the audio track, so video files work too.
Will it name Coqui specifically?
When the signature is recognizable we name it; otherwise we return 'unknown synthesis' rather than guess.
