CURL url not specified
I am following this tutorial to set up text service speech on IBM Bluemix: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/doc/speech-to-text/tutorial.shtml
I installed and tested the prerequisites, but somehow I get an error when I try to enter:
curl -X POST -u <username>:<password>
--header "Content-Type: audio/flac"
--header "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
--data-binary @<path>audio-file.flac
"https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/recognize?continuous=true"
I got the following error:
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
I tested the username and password when I accessed the url directly and it worked. The path I entered for the audio file is also correct as I just copied it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance!:)

You are missing screens for new lines. Try something like this:
curl -X POST -u "myusername":"mypassword" \
--header "Content-Type: audio/flac" \
--data-binary "@audio-file1.flac" \
--data-binary "@audio-file2.flac" \
"https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/recognize?timestamps=true&word_alternatives_threshold=0.9&keywords=%22colorado%22%2C%22tornado%22%2C%22tornadoes%22&keywords_threshold=0.5&continuous=true"
