What is telemetry?
Telemetry is the automatic collection and transmission of data from a running system (e.g. metrics, logs, traces) to a central location for monitoring, debugging, and analysis.
What is an example of telemetry?
A voice agent reporting per-call latency, estimated WER, VAD decisions, and enhancement processing times to a metrics backend lets operators spot regressions and optimize performance in production.
How does telemetry work?
Applications emit structured events and metrics via instrumentation libraries (like OpenTelemetry), which forward them to backends. From there the data can be visualized, alerted on, or used for long-term analysis.
How does ai-coustics use telemetry?
The ai-coustics SDK reports a strictly limited set of signals: license key, SDK version and wrapper type, model identifier in use, operating system and CPU architecture, aggregate audio time processed, and whether VAD is enabled. No audio, recordings, transcripts, or model features are ever transmitted - all audio processing happens locally on-device. We use telemetry to understand which models, SDK versions, and platforms are in active use and to measure aggregate processing volume for licensing.
