# Koala Noise Suppression Demos
Made in Vancouver, Canada by [Picovoice](https://picovoice.ai)
## Koala
Koala is an on-device noise suppression engine. Koala is:
- Private; All voice processing runs locally.
- Cross-Platform:
- Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64, arm64)
- Android and iOS
- Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge
- Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5)
## Compatibility
- Python 3.9+
- Runs on Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64, arm64), and Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5).
## Installation
```console
pip3 install pvkoalademo
```
## AccessKey
Koala requires a valid Picovoice `AccessKey` at initialization. `AccessKey` acts as your credentials when using Koala
SDKs. You can get your `AccessKey` for free. Make sure to keep your `AccessKey` secret.
Signup or Login to [Picovoice Console](https://console.picovoice.ai/) to get your `AccessKey`.
## Usage
### Microphone Demo
The microphone demo collects audio from a microphone connected to your machine. The audio is passed through the Koala
noise suppression engine and stored in a `.wav` file.
Run the following in the terminal:
```console
koala_demo_mic --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY} --output-path ${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH}
```
Replace `${ACCESS_KEY}` with yours obtained from Picovoice Console and `${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH}` with a path to a `.wav` file
where the enhanced audio will be stored. Terminate the demo with `Ctrl+C`.
### File Demo
The file demo passes audio stored in a `.wav` file through the Koala noise suppression engine. The result is shifted to
compensate for the delay introduced by Koala and stored in a separate `.wav` file that will have the same length as the
input file without any delay.
Run the following in the terminal:
```console
koala_demo_file --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY} --input_path ${WAV_INPUT_PATH} --output_path ${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH}
```
Replace `${ACCESS_KEY}` with yours obtained from Picovoice Console, `${WAV_INPUT_PATH}` with a path to a compatible
(single-channel, 16 kHz, 16-bit PCM) `.wav` file you wish to enhance, and `${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH}` with a path to a `.wav`
file where the enhanced audio will be stored.
