The backend for the speech API was discontinued and is not being hosted anymore. The code for the backend is available here is someone wants to host it: https://github.com/mozilla/speech-proxy

What brought me here is AutoModerator bot on Reddit, that is suggesting users to try the Speech Recognition every week.
This bot should be problably modified, as the Speech Recognition is not currently implemented.
See: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/rdme1w/weekly_discussion_for_nightly_builds_for_20211211/

Speech Recognition

You can try out native speech recognition in Firefox. Set media.webspeech.recognition.enable and media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable to true to try it on sites like https://speechnotes.co.
