Tools & capabilities
Barevalue tools 14
barevalue_registerCreates a Barevalue account and returns a working API key in one call, with no password and no email click before the first order. The email is the address of the person the account is for, and that person receives a verification link. Until the link is clicked the account has a small free allowance ("allowance" in the result), and after it the full free monthly allowance. The returned api_key is what the other tools take as api_key. An address that already has an account gets no second key here (registration_failed): its owner makes one at barevalue.com, Settings, API Keys.barevalue_pricingWhat AI podcast editing costs and what it includes: the free monthly allowance, plans, supported audio formats, languages, length limits and features. No API key needed.barevalue_api_statusService health, queue depth and expected processing times. No API key needed.barevalue_accountAccount details: the editing minutes left in the free monthly allowance, credit balance and any limits on the account.barevalue_estimateReports what an AI podcast edit of a given length would use from the account and whether the account can cover it, before any order is placed. Nothing is charged.barevalue_validatePre-checks a podcast or other audio recording at a URL without ordering an edit: confirms the link downloads, measures the length and checks that the file is speech and not music or silence. Nothing is charged.barevalue_uploadUpload an audio file from this machine, for a recording that has no link. Give the path to the file. Returns an upload_id: then call barevalue_submit_url with that upload_id in place of file_url. One audio file with one audio track, up to 750 MB and 60 minutes. An upload can be ordered once, within 2 hours.barevalue_submit_urlEdits a podcast episode or interview recording with AI and returns the finished audio. The edit removes background noise, hum and hiss, trims filler words such as um and uh, cuts long pauses and dead air, evens out the levels of the speakers and masters the loudness to -16 LUFS. Cuts or other changes can be asked for in special_instructions. Every order includes a transcript with speaker labels, and an episode of 10 minutes or more also gets show notes and short highlight clips for social media. It takes a recording in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WMA or AIFF, in any of 58 languages, and delivers MP3 at up to 320 kbps, with a WAV as well when the original is lossless. Audio only, one file with one audio track, up to 60 minutes. It edits the recording itself and creates no audio with AI: no translation or dubbing, no synthetic voices, no generated music or sound effects, no video. Free within the monthly allowance of the account. Returns an order_id. The order's progress and result are reported by barevalue_status. A file with no link is ordered with the upload_id that barevalue_upload returns, in place of file_url.barevalue_statusStatus of a podcast editing order. While processing it reports the current step, percentage and estimated seconds remaining. When status is "done" it lists each file with its kind (edited_audio, clip, show_notes, transcript and others) and a download URL valid for 24 hours, says what the edit changed, and says what is not included and why. When status is "failed" it gives the reason and what can be done next.barevalue_contentThe show notes, the full transcript with speaker labels and the edit summary of an edited podcast episode, as text, with no file to download and parse. Available once barevalue_status reports "done". The include parameter limits the answer to the parts named; the transcript of a long episode is large.barevalue_feedbackRecords the user's rating of a finished order, positive or negative, with an optional comment and list of issues. Our team is told. A second rating for the same order replaces the first, comment included.barevalue_request_revisionRe-edits a finished order with new instructions, for example "keep the story about the dog, it was cut" or "the intro music is too loud". It creates a new order from the original recording and returns its order_id. The progress and result of that order are reported by barevalue_status. It uses the same minutes from the allowance as the original order. Every revision is made from the original recording, so one request carries everything that is to be different. It returns the edited audio. The show notes and clips are made again only when the instructions ask for them.- +2 more on the listing page
