Monitor Speak API health, assessment latency, session metrics, and pronunciation score distributions. Use when implementing observability, or managing Speak language learning platform operations. Trigger with phrases like "speak observability", "speak observability".
Speak Observability
Overview
Monitor Speak API health, assessment latency, session metrics, and pronunciation score distributions.
Prerequisites
- Completed
speak-install-authsetup - 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 |
