Kintsugi Voice API Integration

1
.

What are the best practices for integration the Kintsugi Voice (KV) API?

Invoke the KV API using a backend tech stack through a service. Your API Key, which grants you access to the KV endpoints, is unique to you and your organization. Invoking KV on the front end could potentially expose your API Key publicly.

2
.

How is the data I submit be handled by Kintsugi?

While testing the KV API, we do not retain voice samples and/or metadata submitted to the endpoints. Data collection and retention policies are agreed upon and outlined in enterprise contracts. To reach our team to establish an enterprise agreement, please submit an inquiry.

3
.

How can I handle errors and exception returns from the KV API?

We have a list of expected errors for each endpoint in our KV API Documentation. However, if you integrate the API and your file meets our audio specifications and encounter an unexpected error or exception, please send an email to engineering@kintsugihealth.com with the name of your organization, how your organization integrates the KV API, a description of the error, and any relevant code excerpts.

4
.

How will the KV API handle an audio file that contains a large segment of non-speech content?

KV filters out noise and loudness that is not speech content and makes predictions even with acceptable measures of background noise. If a sample contains background noise above a specific threshold, KV returns a 422 (insufficient_audio_length). KV does not currently distinguish between speakers. As a result, KV only accepts channel-separated audio files. If a sample contains multiple speakers on the same channel, KV may return a prediction. We will continue to implement extensive guardrails to catch more edge cases.

5
.

What is the expected latency for the KV API to return a prediction?

KV returns a prediction for an audio file of 45 seconds in duration containing at least 30 seconds of active speech content that meets our audio specification in 20 seconds. KV returns a prediction for an audio file of 120 seconds in duration containing at least 30 seconds of speech content that meets our audio specification in 40 seconds.

6
.

How does the KV API support receiving client requests and sending prediction responses?

The KV API utilizes the POST method to support receiving data from a client to the server to establish resource on the server. A client's API request remains open until KV returns a JSON prediction in the response. Kintsugi intends to support web sockets in forthcoming updates in 2023. Please stay tuned!
