speak-observability

Overview

Monitor Speak API health, assessment latency, session metrics, and pronunciation score distributions.

Prerequisites

• Completed speak-install-auth setup
• Valid API credentials configured
• Understanding of Speak API patterns

Instructions

Step 1: Configuration

Configure observability for your Speak integration. Speak uses OpenAI's GPT-4o for AI tutoring and Whisper for speech recognition.

// speak_observability_config.ts
const config = {
  apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
  appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
};

Step 2: Implementation

// Core implementation for speak observability
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';

const client = new SpeakClient(config);

// Production-ready implementation
async function setup() {
  const health = await client.health.check();
  console.log("Status:", health.status);
  return health;
}

Step 3: Verification

curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAK_API_KEY" https://api.speak.com/v1/health | jq .

Output

• Speak Observability configured and verified
• Production-ready Speak integration
• Error handling and monitoring in place

Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Verify SPEAK_API_KEY | | 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Implement backoff | | Connection timeout | Network issue | Check connectivity to api.speak.com | | Audio format error | Wrong codec | Convert to WAV 16kHz mono |
