Content moderation tools that show their evidence
Flags, confidence scores, and timestamps. Your team makes the call.
Content moderation software that checks video, audio, images, and documents against a fixed harm policy and returns timestamped evidence.
Works with your own files — not just YouTube links.
What the moderation tools check
Echosaw is multimodal AI content moderation software: every upload is checked against a fixed harm policy covering nudity, sexual content, violence, hate speech, and profanity. Echosaw is one engine: it ingests the media, analyzes it, scores it against the harm policy or rubric you enter, and summarizes what it found.
What you upload
Video, audio, or images up to 5 GB each, documents (PDF, PPTX, TXT, Markdown) up to 25 MB, or a public YouTube, Vimeo, or Rumble link — through the web app, the REST API, or the MCP server.
Real meeting. Real analysis. Real insights.
Explore a full Echosaw analysis of a recorded meeting: timestamped transcript, key moments, AI insights, generated outputs, and a chat grounded in the video.
- 1. Upload video, audio, images, or documents
- 2. Analyze transcripts, timelines, and key moments
- 3. Ask questions and get cited answers
What comes back
A report with an allow or review action, a visual sensitivity rating, content warnings, and on Growth and above the flagged categories, confidence scores, and time ranges. Flagged media is blocked from being made public in the Echosaw Public Library. Results are available in the web app and through the REST API and MCP server, so you can push findings into your CRM, ticketing, or VMS.
How Echosaw fits your workflow
Echosaw flags each issue, attaches timestamped evidence, and gates publishing so flagged media cannot be made public in the Echosaw Public Library. Your team reviews the evidence and makes the decision, in the web app or in your own systems through the API. Echosaw analyzes media as it arrives — record in the browser, upload, or send files through the API — and returns findings as close to real time as recorded analysis gets.

Manual review vs. Echosaw
| Manual review | Echosaw | |
|---|---|---|
| Where review starts | At 0:00, watching the whole file | At the flagged time range |
| Picture and sound | One reviewer watches and listens at once | Frames and transcript are checked separately and reported together |
| Evidence | Reviewer notes | Category, confidence, and timestamp for each flag |
| Publishing | Depends on the reviewer remembering | Flagged media cannot be made public |
| Final decision | The reviewer | Still a person — Echosaw recommends allow or review |
What content moderation tools should do
Good content moderation tools do three things: check every channel of the content, point to the exact place a problem occurs, and stop flagged content from going out by accident. A score on its own is not enough; a reviewer needs to see why content was flagged before acting on it.
Echosaw checks video frames, the audio transcript, images, and document text in one analysis. Each visual flag carries a start and end time, profanity instances carry their timestamps, and flagged media cannot be published to the Echosaw Public Library.
Content moderation solutions: services vs. software
Content moderation solutions fall into two groups. Moderation services supply people who review content for you. Moderation software scores the content and hands the result to your team. Echosaw is moderation software that puts the flags and the evidence in your own team’s hands.
If your team already reviews content by hand, Echosaw shortens the work: instead of watching a full video, the reviewer starts at the flagged span on the Timeline and reads the content warnings in the Insights tab.
Social media content moderation
For social media content moderation, the practical question is when you check. Echosaw works on files and public links, so you can moderate social media video before you post it — upload the cut and read the report — or check a public YouTube, Vimeo, or Rumble video after it is live by pasting its link. Findings are available in the web app and through the REST API and MCP server, so your team can act on them wherever the post lives.
A content moderation platform with an API
Echosaw works as a content moderation platform in three ways: the web app with a dashboard and report for each file, the REST API for your own systems, and the MCP server for AI agents. All three use the same analysis and return the same moderation results. See the API reference.

Content moderation tools FAQ
- What is a content moderation service?
- A content moderation service checks user-submitted content for harmful material before or after it is published. Some moderation services supply human reviewers; content moderation software like Echosaw scores the content automatically and gives your own team the evidence to decide.
- Can Echosaw moderate social media content?
- Echosaw moderates files you upload and public YouTube, Vimeo, or Rumble links you paste. Teams use it to check a video before posting it, or to review a public video after it is live, and push the findings into their own tools through the REST API and MCP server.
- What categories do the content moderation tools flag?
- Visual: nudity, sexual activity, suggestive content, violence, graphic violence or gore, and visually disturbing content. Spoken and written: profanity, hate speech, insults, sexual language, threats, and graphic language. Documents are also checked for harassment or abuse.
- Is there a content moderation platform API?
- Yes. Every analysis started through the Echosaw REST API (POST /v1/analyze) includes moderation, and the results endpoint returns a safety section. AI agents can use the Echosaw MCP server.
- Do I need a separate plan for moderation?
- No. Moderation runs on every analysis. Plans are $9, $19, $29, and $49 per month plus usage pricing. Agency, at $49 per month, has the lowest rates: $0.43 per minute for audio plus video and $0.22 per minute for audio only, for videos up to 210 minutes. Example: on Agency, a 10-minute clip costs 10 × $0.43 = $4.30 in usage on top of the $49 monthly plan. Starter includes the sensitivity rating, action, and content warnings; Growth ($19) and above add detailed moderation evidence. Your first three uploads are free.
