 ### 1. Import libraries
 
 First we import the required Hume libraries, as well as `load_dotenv` to enable the use of `.env` files to store environment variables, and asyncio for asynchronous functions calls.
 
 ```python
 import os
-from hume import HumeVoiceClient, MicrophoneInterface
+from hume import HumeVoiceClient, MicrophoneInterface, VoiceSocket
 from dotenv import load_dotenv
 import asyncio
 ```
 
 ### 2. Authenticate and Connect
 
-In the `run-evi.py` code, the API key has been saved to an environment variable. Avoid hard coding secrets in your project to prevent them from being leaked.
+To get your API key,log into the portal and visit the [API keys page](https://beta.hume.ai/settings/keys).
+
+`run_evi.py` uses an environment variable to access your API key and Secret key for token authentification.
+> Learn more about authentication strategies with EVI [here](https://dev.hume.ai/docs/introduction/api-key).
 
-You can set the environment variable in two ways:
+Set the environment variable by editing the provided placeholder `.env` file, which is a persistent local store of your API key. To prevent API key leakage, it is set in the `.gitignore` file to not be committed to GitHub. The included `.env` file in this repo just reads:
 
-  1. **Manual method:** You can set an environment variable in the terminal by running this command prior to running the code. Note that you will need to run this every time you have a new terminal session, for example if you close the window or after restarting the computer.
+  `HUME_API_KEY="PASTE_HUME_API_KEY_HERE"`
+
+  `HUME_SECRET_KEY="PASTE_HUME_SECRET_KEY_HERE"`
 
-`export HUME_API_KEY="PASTE_HUME_API_KEY_HERE"`
+> `.gitignore` is a hidden file, so on Mac you would need to hit `COMMAND-SHIFT .` to make it viewable in the finder. 
 
+By using this method, environment variables are automatically set regardless of where the code is executed. As such, they are consistently available across different execution environments.
 
-  2. **.env file method:** Alternatively, you can edit the provided placeholder `.env` file (Note: it's a hidden file so on Mac you would need to hit `COMMAND-SHIFT .` to make them viewable in the finder). The `.env` file is a persistent local store of your API key, and it's set in the `.gitignore` file to not be committed to GitHub. The included `.env` file in this repo just reads:
+**NOTE:** Your API key is like your password. Do not post any code containing it to any public forum such as Discord, and do not commit it to GitHub.
 
-  `HUME_API_KEY="PASTE_HUME_API_KEY_HERE"`
+```python
+async def main() -> None:
+    # Retrieve any environment variables stored in the .env file
+    load_dotenv()
 
-—and you can edit it to save your API key.
+    # Retrieve the Hume API key from the environment variables
+    HUME_API_KEY = os.getenv("HUME_API_KEY")
+    HUME_SECRET_KEY = os.getenv("HUME_SECRET_KEY")
 
-By using this method, environment variables are auotmatically set regardless of where the code is executed. As such, they are consistently available across different execution environments. This can be more convenient than using the `export` command above, since you don't have to run it every time you start a new terminal.

+    client = HumeVoiceClient(HUME_API_KEY, HUME_SECRET_KEY)
