Scanners miss what they can't read.

Glyphward catches prompt injection hidden in images and audio — the modality every text-only scanner ignores.

The problem

Every public prompt-injection defender is text-only.

Lakera Guard, LLM Guard, Azure Prompt Shields, Promptfoo — all of them read strings. None of them read pixels or waveforms. FigStep, AgentTypo, and WhisperInject walk straight past those defences, and Lakera's Check Point acquisition has pushed the only credible self-serve contender upmarket. If you ship an avatar SaaS, a chatbot that takes image uploads, a screenshot-reading agent, or a voice product, your text-layer filter is watching the wrong door.

How it works

Three steps from upload to verdict.

  1. 01

    Send the payload

    POST an image URL, image bytes, or audio file to /v1/scan. The free web scanner accepts drag-and-drop — no account required for the first ten scans a day.

  2. 02

    Multi-stage inspection

    CLIP embedding, Tesseract OCR, and a small text-in-image head read the pixels. Whisper-small plus a waveform anomaly classifier read the audio. Both cross-reference a curated corpus of known-malicious payloads.

  3. 03

    Score + flagged regions

    You get a 0–100 risk score, modality-tagged reasons, and bounding boxes on the offending pixels or waveform windows — in under 200 ms at the 95th percentile.

What you get

The defender for uploads your text scanner can't see.

Image injection detection

Catches FigStep, AgentTypo, and typographic PI hidden in rendered glyphs — including anti-OCR fonts, low-res composites, and multi-layer steganography.

Audio injection detection

Whisper-small transcript filter plus a waveform anomaly classifier. Catches spoken instructions, ultrasonic carriers, and payloads Whisper drops before transcript.

Drop-in SDK + REST

One HTTPS call or one npm install. Node, Python, and a raw REST endpoint. No custom infrastructure, no model hosting, no GPU bill.

Compounding payload corpus

Every scan that fires enriches the detector. Pro subscribers get an email the moment a new attack vector is added to the corpus — not six months later.

Questions

Frequently asked

Isn't this just OCR with a flag on top?

No. OCR finds readable text; detection requires knowing which text is adversarial. Glyphward combines OCR with a CLIP visual embedding, a small text-in-image head, and a curated payload corpus — so it catches glyph-rendered instructions that OCR misses outright (low-res, anti-OCR fonts, multi-layer composites) and ignores benign text.

Does this actually work on audio?

Yes — two detectors. A Whisper-small transcript filter catches spoken instructions. A waveform anomaly classifier catches out-of-band carrier payloads (ultrasonic prompts, inter-word steganography) that Whisper silently drops before it reaches your transcript filter.

What's the accuracy?

On our curated FigStep, AgentTypo, and WhisperInject payload set we target recall ≥ 80% at under 1% false positives. The free scanner is the public benchmark — run your own samples and we publish the confusion matrix per release.

Can I self-host?

Not at v1. The compounding corpus works because scans cross-reference shared signatures across customers. Self-hosted offline mode is on the roadmap for Team customers with compliance needs; if that's a blocker, write in and we'll tell you where it sits in the queue.

What do you do with uploaded images and audio?

Free tier: we extract a perceptual hash and detector features, then discard the bytes. Paid tiers: you choose — day-1 deletion, or 30-day opt-in retention so you can build compare reports. We never train third-party models on user uploads, and we never sell the corpus.

Seal the multimodal gap.

Free scanner ships first. The $29/mo API follows. Join the waitlist and we'll email the day you can paste an image in.
