Preliminary triage, not final legal evidence

Sample result certificate

Why Takkad?

If you got a call in the voice of someone you know, asking you to transfer money fast… how would you know it is really them?

  • Incoming message: I need you to transfer 200 riyals to this same number, please.
  • Incoming message: Watch a missile hit a fuel station, open the link link.example/k3f9
  • Your reply: Is that really his voice?

What if you had three seconds to check before transferring?

How Takkad works

Three steps only.

  1. 1

    Upload the file

    Upload the image, audio clip or video directly, or share it to Takkad from your messaging app on Android. Before any processing, the file fingerprint and the time are recorded.

  2. 2

    Analysis

    Analysis starts right away. Faces, voice and lip sync are examined with the technologies we built.

  3. 3

    See the result

    The result comes with an explanation of the reasons and a confidence percentage, and a certificate with a reference number that carries the digital fingerprint and can be shared. If something looks suspicious you get immediate advice, such as not transferring money and contacting the person directly. It is a preliminary triage, not final legal evidence.

What we check

Three tracks, each with signals that Takkad shows in your result.

  • Images

    We look at faces and at traces of editing and compositing, and read the file metadata when it exists.

    • Facial manipulation traces
    • AI tool trace in metadata
    • Provenance declares AI generation
  • Audio

    We turn the sound into a spectrogram and look for the fingerprint of generated voices, including WhatsApp voice notes.

    • Voice spectral fingerprint
    • Low quality reduces reliability
  • Video

    We examine the face and the voice together, compare lip movement with speech, and follow how consistent the face is across frames.

    • Lip-sync mismatch
    • Temporal facial jitter
    • Facial manipulation traces

Technologies we use

Four technologies work together, and the result is a preliminary triage that AI explains in plain language.

  • EfficientNet-B0

    Face analysis

    Examines faces in images and video frames for traces of compositing and manipulation.

  • Spectrogram

    Audio analysis

    Turns the sound into a spectrogram and looks in it for the fingerprint of generated voices.

  • MediaPipe

    Lip movement

    Tracks the face and lips and compares their movement with the speech.

  • LLM

    Explaining the result

    Explains the result in plain language and suggests your next step. It explains and does not decide, and it never receives personal data.

Impact

  • Protection before the decision

    Immediate protection before a rushed financial or emotional decision under pressure.

  • Easy for everyone

    Complete ease of use, with no technical expertise needed.

  • More than gut feeling

    Less reliance on instinct alone in a moment of doubt.

  • Support for the national direction

    Supports SDAIA’s national direction against deepfakes. It is an independent project, not affiliated with it.

For organizations

For organizations that handle suspicious material, Takkad provides documentation you can refer back to.

  • Signed forensic report

    A report in Arabic and English carrying the digital fingerprint, the timestamp and a digital signature that can be verified.

  • Chain of custody

    Every step from receiving the file to the report is recorded with its time.

  • Audit log

    Append-only, cannot be modified.

  • API

    Coming soon, to connect checks to your organization’s systems.

Privacy and trust

We collect as little data as we can, and tell you plainly what happens to your file.

Read the privacy policy

  • File deleted after 24 hours

    Your file is deleted automatically after 24 hours and never used for training without your consent.

  • Fingerprint before processing

    The digital fingerprint (SHA-256) and the time are recorded before any processing, to document that the file did not change.

  • Digital signature

    Forensic reports are digitally signed, and any change to them shows up when verified.

  • Preliminary triage

    The result is a preliminary triage, not final legal evidence. We recommend referring the file to the lab when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you keep my files?

We do not keep your file longer than needed. It is deleted automatically after 24 hours and never used to train models without your explicit consent.

Is the result legal evidence?

No. The result is a preliminary triage that helps you decide. If you need an official report, the file can be referred to a forensic examiner.

Why did my result say “Be careful”?

This result appears when there are suspicious signals, and also when the file is not enough to settle the question, for example when its quality is low or the clip is very short. We show you the signals and advise you to check the source before acting.

Which files can I check?

Images, audio and video in common formats, including WhatsApp voice notes.

How many checks can I run?

A visitor without an account can run up to 3 checks a day, and the limit rises with a free account.

What should I do if the result says “Be careful”?

Do not make the transfer or follow the request. Contact the person directly on a number you already know, then report it to the relevant authority.

Is Takkad free?

Yes, it is free for individuals for now.

How do I contact you?

Use the contact link at the bottom of the page.
