Deployment

Processing time scales with the length of the uploaded audio. A single upload is capped at 1 hour of audio per request, and there is no concurrent-request limit — for longer recordings, split them client-side and issue requests in parallel.

You can upload a file in MP3, WAV, FLAC, or OGG format.

The Cochl.Sense Cloud API is a hosted service — anything that can make an HTTPS request and run the cochl Python client (Python 3.10+) can use it.

For the Cochl.Sense Edge SDK, see Edge SDK → Resources → Supported architectures for the OS / CPU / GPU matrix.

For further questions, feel free to contact us at support@cochl.ai.

The Cochl.Sense Edge SDK can run with GPU acceleration and will be released officially soon with support for several JetPack versions.

For NPU support, we currently offer a custom version of the NPU-accelerated SDK exclusively to enterprise customers.

For further questions, feel free to contact us at support@cochl.ai.

Using the CPU version of the SDK:

  • CPU: ARM Cortex-A53 (2.3 DMIPS/MHz)
  • RAM: 256 MB to 512 MB

Using the GPU version of the SDK:

  • GPU: NVIDIA GPU with at least 4 GB of VRAM
  • RAM: at least 4 GB if no VRAM is available

To get started, follow these steps:

  • 1. Go to the Cochl documentation page and click Home on the left sidebar.
  • 2. Find the Dashboard Quick Start page and follow the steps provided.
  • 3. For supported environments, references, or code samples, click either Cochl.Sense Cloud API or Cochl.Sense Edge SDK depending on what you're building.

To find your Project Key, follow these steps:

  • 1. Go to the Dashboard page and click on Projects in the top menu bar.
  • 2. Select the project you want.
  • 3. Click Copy Project Key on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, open the Settings tab and copy it from there.

You can use your system's hardware monitoring utilities to compare performance before and after running the Cochl.Sense Edge SDK.

For example, on Linux you can use the htop command for the CPU SDK, and nvidia-smi or tegrastats for the GPU SDK.

Troubleshooting

To get more information about an error:

  • If you're using the Python client library, every API failure raises cochl.sense.exception.CochlSenseException with the server's error message — wrap your calls in a try / except and log the exception text.
  • If you're calling the legacy audio-session REST endpoints directly, see the legacy API error responses.
  • Refer to this FAQs page for solutions to common issues.

If you can't find an appropriate answer, please report your problem by emailing us at support@cochl.ai.

If the project key doesn't work, please reset your key. If the reset button doesn't work, we recommend creating a new project and trying again.

If you still have an issue, please reach out to us by sending an email to support@cochl.ai.
