audiotrace 1.1.1

Structured analysis for voice-agent call recordings — transcript, quality, sentiment, latency, cost, and events from raw audio.

AudioTrace

CI/CD for voice AI

What is AudioTrace?

Voice Agents AI plumbing tool every team rebuilds from scratch — until now. Drop in a call recording. Get back everything: transcript, quality scores, sentiment shifts, latency breakdown, cost attribution, compliance flags. Normalized. Structured. Queryable. Works with any provider, any stack. One integration. Zero plumbing. Ship faster.

import audiotrace

report = audiotrace.analyze(
    audio    = "call_recording.wav",
    metadata = {"agent_version": "v2.1", "provider": "vapi"}
)

print(report.quality.overall_score)        # 0.87
print(report.sentiment.caller_frustration) # False
print(report.latency.llm_first_token_ms)   # 420
print(report.events.drop_off)              # False
print(report.cost.total_usd)               # 0.063

Why AudioTrace?

Every team building voice agents faces the same problem: raw audio is a black box. You can listen to recordings manually, or you can build your own signal extraction pipeline from scratch — but no open-source framework normalizes the full call into a structured, queryable object.

AudioTrace exists to be that shared layer. It handles the hard parts so you can focus on what you're building:

• Transcription with speaker diarization
• Silence gaps, interruptions, speaking pace, and pitch analysis
• Per-turn sentiment tracking and frustration detection
• Per-stage latency breakdown (STT → LLM → TTS → telephony)
• Unified cost calculation across any provider mix
• Compliance flag detection (PII leakage, consent gaps)

Quick start

Analyze a single call

import audiotrace

report = audiotrace.analyze(
    audio    = "call.wav",
    metadata = {
        "call_id":       "abc123",
        "agent_version": "v2.1",
        "provider":      "vapi",
        "campaign":      "healthcare_intake"
    }
)

# Media
print(report.media.duration_ms)          # int
print(report.media.codec)                # str

# Transcript
print(report.transcript.full_text)
for turn in report.transcript.turns:
    print(f"{turn.speaker}: {turn.text}")

# Quality
print(report.quality.overall_score)       # float 0.0–1.0
print(report.quality.interruptions)       # int
print(report.quality.silence_gaps)        # List[Gap]
print(report.quality.speaking_pace_wpm)   # float

# Sentiment
print(report.sentiment.overall)           # float -1.0 to 1.0
print(report.sentiment.shift_points)      # List[int] — turn indices
print(report.sentiment.caller_frustration)# bool

# Latency
print(report.latency.stt_ms)             # int
print(report.latency.llm_first_token_ms) # int
print(report.latency.tts_ms)             # int
print(report.latency.total_ms)           # int

# Cost
print(report.cost.stt_usd)               # float
print(report.cost.llm_usd)               # float
print(report.cost.total_usd)             # float

# Events
print(report.events.outcome)             # "completed" | "dropped" | "failed"
print(report.events.drop_off_turn)       # int | None
print(report.events.compliance_flags)    # List[str]

Use provider adapters

from audiotrace.adapters import VapiAdapter

adapter = VapiAdapter(api_key="...")
call    = adapter.fetch_call(call_id="abc123")
report  = audiotrace.analyze(call.audio, call.metadata)

How it works

AudioTrace builds on top of best-in-class audio libraries so you don't have to:

Raw audio file
      │
      ▼
  FFmpeg              — format normalization, turn splitting
      │
      ├── Whisper     — transcription
      ├── pyannote    — speaker diarization
      ├── Librosa     — silence gaps, pace, pitch, energy
      └── Transformers — sentiment, intent detection
      │
      ▼
  CallReport (Pydantic)

---

Part of the Lang ecosystem TBD

AudioTrace is the open-source foundation that powers two commercial products:

Product	What it does	Built on
LangTrace	Live call observability & analytics dashboards	AudioTrace
LangGate	Pre-deploy simulation & CI/CD quality gate	AudioTrace

AudioTrace is free and MIT-licensed. The commercial products are optional hosted layers on top.

Running locally

For quick testing or interactive analysis, you can use the provided runner script. It automatically handles virtual environment setup and dependency validation.

# Analyze default golden data fixture
./scripts/run.sh

# Concise per-section summary tables instead of the raw JSON
./scripts/run.sh --summary

# Playback, inferring speakers by pitch (no pyannote token needed)
./scripts/run.sh --playback --skip-pyannote

# Analyze a specific file
./scripts/run.sh path/to/your/audio.wav

Development & Validation

Before submitting changes, ensure everything passes the local validation suite (formatting, linting, type-checking, and tests):

./scripts/test_local.sh test

Contributing

Contributions are welcome — especially new provider adapters, persona definitions for simulation, and compliance rule sets.

git clone https://github.com/audiotrace/audiotrace
cd audiotrace
./scripts/test_local.sh test  # Run all checks (formatting, lint, types, tests)
