# Speaches.ai Demo

[Speaches.ai](https://github.com/speaches-ai/speaches) demo for the Mozilla AI [Speech-to-Text Blueprint](https://github.com/mozilla-ai/speech-to-text/)

By default the demo throws a 301 HTTP error when run on a HF Space, because HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS by HF. This can be solved by setting the `LOOPBACK_HOST_URL` environment variable to the HF Space URL. Speaches uses this var in its config to set the base URL for requests.

Here is the sample setting for this particular HF space: `LOOPBACK_HOST_URL=https://storytracer-speaches-demo.hf.space`. It is set through the [HF Space settings](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/spaces-overview#managing-secrets). You might also be able to set it in the Dockerfile directly, but that will break the Dockerfile if someone else clones your space.
